Cheryl Hughes: Space

This week, I have been cleaning my house—the rooms that matter, anyway.  We’re having a reception for my daughter, Nikki, and her new husband, Thomas, next weekend.  My granddaughter, Sabria’s, toys have pretty much taken over the living room, so I decided they needed a new place to live.  You know how that goes, in order to clean up one space, you must first clean up another space to store what you want to move from the first space; then stuff in the second space has to be moved, so you’ve got to clean up a third space, yadda, yadda, yadda.  It’s maddening!

Jarrod Jacob: “Christ Did Not Send Me To Baptize”

“For Christ did not send me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel” (I Cor. 1:17). This passage is used by some to teach that baptism is not necessary for salvation. Is this what Paul was saying? At first glance, I Corinthians 1:17 seems to be in contradiction with such passages as Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, and I Peter 3:21. Yet, this is not the case. No Bible verse contradicts any other Bible verse. Knowing that Satan himself (mis)quoted Scripture at times (Matt. 4:1-11), it should not be surprising to see those in religious error doing the same thing.

Aaron Jacobs: Points in American History

Nathan Hale: The Patriot Martyr
This country has been blessed to have heroes who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our freedom. None is more well-known than Nathan Hale. While serving as an American spy, he was hanged in New York City by General William Howe on September 22, 1776. Nathan Hale is an excellent example of great courage and patriotism.

Andy Sullivan: Against The Grain

Late Night with David Letterman premiered on NBC February 1, 1982.  I was three years old so, obviously, I didn’t watch for a few years.  Add to the fact that it was after the Tonight Show, and even when I was older I only watched Friday nights.  Johnny Carson and David Letterman back-to-back.  Those were the days.

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

Friends make life better. Friendship has been defined as a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/friend). I have a few close friends and many good friends. Friends are important.

Support Will T. Scott for governor

Will T. Scott and Woody Allen

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage my friends and neighbors to vote for Will T. Scott for governor of Kentucky on May 19.  I was honored to run on a statewide ticket in 1995 with Will T. Scott when I was a candidate for agriculture commissioner and he was running for attorney general.  From a successful private law practice to Pike County Circuit Judge and eventually to becoming a Justice on the Kentucky Supreme Court, Will T. Scott has a unique and distinguished legal background from which to draw.  Straightforward and honest, I believe Will T.

Don Locke: Lookin Thru Bifocals

When I reached seventy I thought the world couldn’t get any crazier. Now that I’m past eighty I see I was bad wrong.

Cheryl Hughes: Contingency Plan

Garey and I painted our barn last week.  It is an old barn, made from oak, and it has some sort of pressed wood siding, so we painted mostly siding then oak boards in the places where the siding was missing.

Jarrod Jacobs: The Benefits Of The Gospel

In the early days of the telephone, there was a man hired to sell phones in California. Though California was sparsely inhabited at this time, he sold more phones than those who were sent to the big cities. When the boss heard of this, he called in all his salesmen, and asked the one sent to California to explain why he sold more phones than any other. His response:

“I tell potential customers that they can call their neighbor in their night clothes.”

Andy Sullivan: Against The Grain

Sunday night is the series finale of Revenge after four years.  That got me thinking about the most satisfying/disappointing series finales of all time.  All-time favorites range from Roseanne(even though it had the bizarre ending of Roseanne being a writer and killing the Dan character) to Lost(best show until the finale).  X-Files and House were listed as disappointing.  Sopranos and Seinfeld also made the list of disappointing.
