Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, my favorite doughnuts, opened their doors on July 13, 1937.  That was the year of the Rochester flood, by the way, but that’s neither here nor there.  Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and began selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts to local grocery stores.

Aaron Jacobs: Points in American History

The Mystery of Roanoke-  One of the biggest mysteries in American history is the disappearance of the Roanoke colony in modern-day North Carolina. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh sent an expedition which explored Roanoke Island and the surrounding region. Raleigh named the area “Virginia” in honor of Queen Elizabeth, who was known as the “Virgin Queen.” Afterward, in 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh sent John White with a party of one hundred settlers to build a settlement on the Chesapeake Bay. Instead, they settled on Roanoke Island.

Often, my daughter says to me, in exasperation, “Why is she like this!” referring to her daughter’s less than compliant behavior, which is exactly like the less than compliant behavior she exhibited as a little girl.  “They don’t call it reproduction for nothing,” I usually say, which is a variation on the old adage, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”  There is so much we carry around inside of us, both good and not so good, that is inevitably passed on to our progeny.  “Be fruitful and multiply,” God said to man in the first chapter of Genesis, because he wanted more of us.  Every

When Samuel was sent by God to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as the next king, he was sure that he had found the new king when he saw Eliab (I Sam. 16:6). “But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart’” (I Sam. 16:7).

“Speak now or forever hold your peace”. That refrain is a constant towards the end of wedding ceremonies.  It really holds true for everything in life.  How did the couple get to the altar in the first place? They spoke up when the time came.  They spoke up, started that first conversation that led to that first call, which in turn led to that first date and so on.

Last Saturday, I attended one of Western Kentucky University’s graduation ceremonies. As I watched several hundred graduates “walk the line,” including my first-born daughter, I thought about the choices these people had made to bring them to graduation. Graduates – from high school or college – have to make many hard choices.
