GOP emerges as positive and united

2024/07/31

The Republican Convention ended on July 19 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The GOP came out of their weeklong confab exuberant, positive and unified. The Republicans nominated former President Donald J. Trump for the third time to lead their party into the fall elections. Most reliable polling points give an edge to Trump being elected on Nov. 5. However, the election is three months away and anything can happen, and very well might given the events of the year. Trump was unanimously nominated by th...

Hidden in the dark

2024/07/31

Of course, you’ve been there many times before: a dead-dark night when you have no electricity for some reason, so you light a candle. And immediately that thing shines like a diamond that has a heavy spotlight 6 inches from it. No mistaking where it is. If you are carrying it, everyone around knows it’s you, and they know when you’re coming their way. Because burning candles don’t hide well in the dark. Just like that candle, the decision to “do what’s right, no matter the consequences” can’...

Although cooler than during the day, the thick, humid air still hung heavy over the river, but a slight breeze provided some comfort. During summer days, this river and its associated waters crowd with fishermen and recreational boaters, especially on weekends and holidays. After sunset, no roaring outboards disturbed us. Only the occasional splashing of some predator grabbing a midnight meal, croaking bullfrogs, grunting alligators and the night chatter from various other swamp creatures sha...

I’ve been bouncing back after a health hiatus and thought I was doing well. I still have some coughs and sneezes, but they are slowly diminishing. It’s good to get back on schedule again. The other day, I had to get some gas for my vehicle. It’s been a long time since I put gas in that vehicle, and it was about time to get filled up. When I got to the gas station, I didn’t know if I needed to go to the bank and get a loan for my gas. Prices are ridiculous. When I first got my... Article ...

A long standing grudge

I thought about it last fall before a two-day hobby convention in September—our first in several years due to COVID. This trip was to neighboring Georgia, so not too far. I remembered years ago being invited as part of the Alabama delegation to a Christian citizenship conference in Washington. I remember the exact year since I’ve often referred to a prayer breakfast we had with Chaplain Richard Halverson from the U.S. Senate. He said he didn’t hear many prayers for public officials in his iti...
