I don't mix politics and religion from my church pulpit, and I realize this twice-monthly effort is a pulpit of sorts. But I will express my concerns about country from a Christian perspective in private conversation. So, since I'm just talking to you, dear reader, I want to express some of my thoughts – from a Christian viewpoint ...

‘Granges’ have brief run in Georgia

(Note: This is the fifth and final article in a series on the Agrarian Movement in the nation, the south and Bulloch County in the 1800s.)

As Christians, let’s be friendly

Paul had been traveling for a long time. He had worked hard, and was undoubtedly very tired. His experiences, though thrilling, had an alarming element as well. The Spirit of God had told him he would become a prisoner because of his tenacious teaching of the faith. When he got to the Jewish capital, he and his companions went ...

McElveen’s arrive in Bulloch

The surname McElveen has Gaelic origins (Mac Giolla Mhin, or 'one who was gentle') from the County Down area of Ireland, where it was also spelled Elveen and Kilvenn. In Ireland, the earliest peoples began using last names (patronymics) and often added Mac to their father's name.

Fun with the family by Julie Lavender

For the young and the not-so-young, flipping the calendar to October heightens every sense the body has to offer. The month of October tickles the tongue with visions of candy apples, pumpkin pies, and copious amounts of candies and sweets.

Kathy Bradley - Getting home is worth dodging obstacles

So, a tree falls in the woods or, in this particular situation, across a dirt road. Whether it made a sound is somewhat irrelevant when the road across which it has fallen is the road to one's house. Silent or cacophonous, the result of the arboreal capitulation is the same - impeded access.

Diane Miller - Calling a halt to sibling rivalry

It's a familiar scene. You've just come home from work after a long day. You're hungry and tired and it's time to fix dinner, but the children are at it in the kitchen, fighting over events of the day.

Diane Miller - Teaching children to deal with anger

Like adults, young children experience angry feelings. Anger is a common emission in childhood - the tough part is learning how to handle anger without hurting others. Many adults have learned to ignore anger, or to express these feelings by hitting or yelling at someone. As a result, adults often deal with a child's anger by demanding that he or she stop being angry. They might send a child to his or her room ...
