Andy Sullivan: Against The Grain

Steal My Sunshine: How do you handle it when someone tries to steal your joy? Most of us second guess ourselves, stress a bit perhaps.  I think that’s human nature.  After some of that, we may go ahead with our original plan.  Stepping on people’s dreams, saying what someone likes or wants isn’t something you can achieve are things you should just never buy into.

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.

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

Easter is a holiday that I have celebrated throughout my life. This day is often associated with family meals, Easter egg hunts, baskets, and a variety of chocolates. It is also an important day of faith.

Cheryl Hughes: Fan-fair

The following story is one I wrote in a column for another paper years ago.  While I was watching the Kentucky/Notre Dame game Saturday night, I remembered it, and thought it might be worth re-telling.  In the original version, I changed the names of the main characters.  Time and circumstance have enabled me to be able to use their real names here.

Jarrod Jacobs: Are Babies Born In Sin?

The teaching that babies are born in sin is fairly common in the religious world. There are creed books and catechisms which state in so many words that babies have inherited the guilt of Adam’s sin. Is this what the Bible says, though? What does the Bible say about this subject?

SEN. C.B. EMBRY'S LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 27, 2015) - Life-saving, landmark legislation was achieved by the Kentucky General Assembly during the final hours of the 2015 short session. Senate Bill 192, a comprehensive approach to stymie the scourge of heroin addiction in Kentucky reached final passage after countless hours of bipartisan work throughout the session. In fact, this is the third year that the Senate has led the charge on an anti-heroin bill. SB 192 was signed into law Wednesday morning by Gov. Beshear, and is now in effect due to an emergency clause.

Andy Sullivan: Against The Grain

Magazines that give us unrealistic expectations are everywhere.  The Men’s Health magazines with the muscle head cover boys with the insinuation that “you too can look like this” or “get the girl of your dreams by looking like a (paraphrasing) muscle-head dipstick”.  Obviously they don’t use the “muscle-head dipstick” term.

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

We’re beginning to see some spring color. My yard has some spring flowers in bloom and others showing greenery. One of my bushes is beginning to develop tiny leaves. But, my trees still look fairly dormant. I know it’s early yet, but I’m eager to see which survived the winter and which will need to be replaced.

Cheryl Hughes: Supervision

When I look back on the kind of mom I was when my kids were little, it’s a wonder they have enough where-with-all to walk across the street.  I was your basic crazy woman.  The reason I was your basic crazy woman was because I was always afraid someone was going to hurt my children.  Some of my fear sprung from being hurt myself as a child, some of it sprung from having no relatives nearby to help care for them, and some of it sprung from media coverage of children who had been abducted and molested or murdered or both.  If we weren’t home on this farm, I was watching my kids like a hawk, r

Jarrod Jacobs: Christ Changes Us

In reading the Bible, I am impressed with how Christ changed people’s lives. For example, when Christ called men to be His apostles, He told the fishermen: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matt. 4:19-21). He later would turn these fishermen into mountain-climbers (Matt. 17:1)! In addition to this, we could take note of the fact that when Christ went to a funeral, He would raise the dead (Lk. 7:11-16; Mk. 5:41-42; Jn. 11:43-44; etc.)! Yes, there was a definite change in those folks!
