The price of losing accountability

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/29

A coworker and I were talking the other day about something she read on Facebook, a post in a parent group for one of our local school systems. A parent was fussing about a teacher, saying her child got in trouble for something she didn’t do and, of course, according to the parent, it was all the teacher’s fault. That conversation led us to talk about how people are quick to jump to conclusions and blame someone else in today’s society. Accountability seems to have become a lost art. The disc...

Nonpartisan municipal elections have become partisan

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/29

Political pundits and observers and political players have espoused the long-held belief in the mantra “all politics is local.” I have changed my tune on this well-known adage and belief. My observation is that today it is the opposite, “all politics is national.” Folks either vote straight Republican or straight Democratic. Most, about 90%, of all white Alabamians vote straight Republican, they may not pull the straight Republican lever, but they only mark Republican names. They would come a...

We can celebrate God during Halloween also

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/29

Halloween trouble, have you ever tried to make something without using the right ingredients? There once was a recipe on the back of a Ritz Cracker box for “Mock Apple Pie.” You can’t have an apple pie without apples and “You can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.” That is the message that Paul has for me in Romans 8:1-9. The message is that those who have the Spirit of Christ in them can not be condemned because Jesus has set us free. God sent his Son, to put an end to the law of sin and ...

2025/10/29

With the end of October coming quickly and our government still not able to agree on anything, our neighbors receiving SNAP, EBT, and WIC are wondering how they will eat. I’ve seen many, many shaming and blaming but I haven’t seen many at all that are truly concerned about whether or not children, disabled, or the elderly will have food. Ask yourself:What can I do to help? 1. Donate to a local food pantry. Many already have plenty of canned vegetables. Donate dry beans, rice, tuna, Spam, cann...
