Andy Sullivan: Against The Grain

Old school vs. new school is an argument that is as old as time.  It’s really a matter of how you grew up and what you know.  The reason I bring this up is the latest dust-up in the ageless old vs. new argument.  This time it’s Brantley Gilbert vs. Travis Tritt.

How many choices or decisions do you make each day? Do you believe that people generally makes a few hundred or a few thousand choices each day? The number may depend on how we define decision.

Don Locke: Lookin Thru the Bifocals

I only had a passing acquaintance with Roy, a real likable guy, lots of friends; Roy taught on agriculture over in the eastern part of the state. We passed and repassed at state Ag teachers conferences each summer.
Tragically Roy’s life was cut short over 25 feet of road right away.. Was it worth it?  No

Cheryl Hughes: Predictable

My friend, Sandra, asked me to set up with her at the Owensboro flea market over the weekend.  (Sandra is the one who taught me how to slump bottles.)  The event took place in the new convention center built on the old Executive Inn site.  It was the second such event to be held in the center.  I didn’t attend the first one held in March, but I understand it was a rousing success.  Most of the vendors expected the same from this one.  Most of the vendors were sorely disappointed.

First (at least for me) there was Facebook, followed by Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.  Social media is ever evolving, for better or worse.  Facebook was founded in February of 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg.  Twitter was founded by Jack Dorsey in March 21, 2006.  Dorsey is an American web developer widely known as the co-founder and co-creator ( with Biz Stone) of Twitter.  Twitter is now worth billions of dollars. As of three years ago, it was worth more than $5 billion and climbing towards $10 billion in secondary markets.  Interested in an in-depth history of twitter?

Cheryl Hughes: Bossy

There is a campaign underway to make the word “bossy” a bad word.  The campaign is spear-headed by Sheryl Sandberg, a former executive at Google, presently the CEO of Facebook and author of the book, “Lean In.”  Sandberg contends that, “Bossy is a negative put-down…and it stops girls from pursuing leadership roles.” (ABCnews.com)  There’s even a website (banbossy.com) that gives tips about how to encourage young female leaders.

Jarrod Jacobs: “What Doth Hinder Me To Be Baptized?”

After Philip caught up to the Ethiopian eunuch, he taught him about Jesus (Acts 8:35). They came to some water, “And the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?” (Acts 8:36). Friend, have you ever had someone ask you what is stopping you from being baptized? We want to look at some reasons why people are “hindered” today and then try to remove those hindrances. What reason(s) might one have for not being baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38)?

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

Last week I was mending some clothes for my daughters and grandchildren. I learned to sew from my grandmother and my mom as well as in a class during high school. At one time, sewing was a common skill; but, I failed to teach my daughters. Our daily lives have changed through the years, and household tasks have changed, too.
