Let me say first of all, Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there. It is my hope and prayer that this article is a help and blessing to you today as you strive to honor our Lord as you raise your child (no matter how old he/she may be) in obedience to God’s word. It is definitely a challenge to raise children in 2013 for the Lord’s glory with all the temptations seeking to pull them into sin and this world. So let me share a story with you t...

A good turnout, rain, and most trusted
There was a really good turnout last Saturday at Wesley Chapel for the benefit for Sue Mitchell Mellon. The preacher was so excited about judging the “Bold and Beautiful” pageant, that she almost missed her hair appointment. Who wouldn’t want to see John Bobo made up as a gorgeous woman?! If you don’t know her, then I’ve got to tell you, she is really a good sport. She’ll probably never live down her trip to the beach, while riding bikes ...

An accurate description of mothers
Sunday Is Mother’s Day For me, this is one of my favorite times of the year. My mother is now at home in heaven waiting for my return. She meant the world to me; teaching me and guiding my life. Oftentimes I wonder how to describe a “Mother.” I think that Howard Johnson described our mothers so well when he wrote in 1915: M - O - T - H - E - R “M” is for the million things she gave me, “O” means only that she’s growing old, “T” is fo...

Getting weary on the mountaintop
Awhile back my wife and I did something we had never done before. We climbed Chimney Rock! We actually didn’t plan on climbing as much as we did but what an accomplishment for a couple of inexperienced hikers. As you can imagine we experienced fatigue shortly after we started but we kept going until we reached the Hickory Nut Waterfall. As we looked at the beauty of the falls, we were very weary and not looking forward to the hike back. I...

Buffalo News For You: Jesse’s story, a robot, and camping hints
Did You Know Jesse? Jesse was a chicken plucker. That’s right. He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days pulling the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us wouldn’t have to. It wasn’t much of a job. But at the time, Jesse didn’t think he was much of a person. His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill and treated Jesse rough all of his life. Jesse’s older brother wasn’t much be...

Parents critical to safe driving by teens
Prom and graduation season, the Fourth of July, and summer vacation give pause to parents of teenagers everywhere. Why? Because celebration paired with newfound freedom can trigger tragedy on our roads and highways. Indeed, young people themselves report that these times of year are the most dangerous when it comes to driving. And alcohol and other drugs are primary reasons. According to new research from SADD (Students Against Destructiv...

Voice of Victory: You will receive what you give
There are a lot of principles found in God’s word. We can find how to live, how to love, how to treat others, how to share, and so forth. You can also find a lot of “Not to do’s” as well. There is one concept that I have seen time and time again come to pass in everyone’s life. This is the notion of sowing and reaping. There are people who think they can go through life without any thought of consequences to their actions but when the chick...

Are you carrying too much weight?
On Jan. 2, 2013 my wife and I started a diet. Really I guess you would say it was a change in lifestyle. We made the clichéd New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get healthy. I’m happy to say that we have stuck with this lifestyle change and consequently have lost a considerable amount of weight between the two of us. The benefits are not only us looking better but feeling better, being healthier, and being happier with ourselves. Sheddin...

This week in the Senate
You don’t have to drive far in our Senate district to see that our roads are in need of a major overhaul, and I introduced a bill this week to get us on the right track. My bill is aimed at fixing a number of problems with the way roads are funded, and aimed at dedicating more of the money you send to Columbia each year toward roads, instead of toward other government spending. A few things my proposal includes: • We have two agencies m...
