After leaving church on Sunday, let's do some sharpening

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

This week’s thought is taken from the parable of the lad with a dull ax, from Timothy Merrill. Once upon a time, a long time ago, a young man approached a logging crew in the verdant and forested woodlands of British Columbia. He was looking for work. The foreman asked George, for that was his name, if he could fell a tree with an ax. He had never chopped down a tree before, but how hard could it be? With nary a syllable out of his mouth, he lumbered over to a nearby blue spruce and felled it...

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

House Republicans passed a continuing resolution ready for the president’s...

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

Dear Dave, My husband wants to leave his job next year. He wants to go back to school full-time and finish his degree. It wouldn’t take him long to complete his studies, and we’ve both agreed it’s the best thing to do for our family. The only drawback is once he begins school, our yearly income will fall from 0,000 to about ,000. The good news is we’ll have his veteran’s stipend and tuition assistance from my job to help pay for things. During all this, once we complete Baby Step 3, should we...

The Mamdani latte

2025/11/11

“Put a little extra caramel on that latte,” I told the young woman at Dunkin’ Donuts. “If you know what I mean.” “Sure,” she said, drizzling a little more caramel on the mountain of whipped cream that topped my decaf white chocolate latte. Maybe she didn’t know what I meant. Maybe she did. She was a perfectly nice woman with a slight Hispanic accent, and she’s no doubt used to the whims of older guys in plaid flannel shirts and tweed caps. I’m the color of the whipped cream. She’s the color o...

Confused GOP While President Trump is moving ahead with his planned agenda — an agenda that voters overwhelmingly approved last November — his support from those within his own party is lackadaisical at best.
