Like on bird’s feet
Matthew 6:26 “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”
As a young boy roaming around the fields and forests of Western Kentucky, seen were many of the works of our Creator and I had not a clue what was being witnessed.
One example is fish in a farm pond that had not been stocked with fish. A local farmer had a new pond

Out of touch with reality
Philippians 2:1-2 “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”
A word we often hear in this day in age is “connected.” To be connected is to be joined together in agreement of our belief in Christ Jesus as our God and our Creator (John 1:1-3).
I once taught a children’s lesson with an old style

You’re Fired
Dear Editor,
You’re fired!
That is what some people are hearing at work nowadays for comments they made on social media about Charlie Kirk.
People are saying words have consequences, so don’t feel sad for someone who loses

The world will know us by our love
Each day we witness more division within our culture. There are only two sides, hate and love, and the separation is growing larger.
Sadly, for those on the dark side, violence is becoming more acceptable. It’s obvious that insisting is not enough for those who now endorse terrorism. Today’s violence has a specific reason: it’s about politics and religion, just like it’s been

You can turn off the news
Several months ago I took a “short” break from watching the daily news — except that break wasn’t so short after all when I extended it to over a month.
Then, wanting to continue with the peace that came from not being hooked into the daily news cycles and media hysteria, I set my phone to send me alerts with short blurbs about important news. I could quickly scan the few lines of the alert, catch up and be done

My friends, let’s choose joy today
I’m honored to have the opportunity to share my heart each week. The messages lately have given us some things to think about, as God’s word brings us into a reverential fear and awareness of His presence.
Many different types of people read faith columns, including some who are not openly religious, but are curious spectators. I respect your caution and where you are in your journey, and hope you will consider the Bible passages. For those who confess Christ as their Lord, our walks are at different levels of passion as the spiritual fires burn at various degrees within us. Some of you watch the news and browse the internet to see what’s happening in the world, while others have

Were Adam and Eve the first?
John 21:25 “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”
In many cases we must consider not only what the Bible says but also what it does not say. The Bible teaches that God created man in His image (Genesis 1:27).
The Bible very clearly tells us that God created Adam and Eve in His image but it does not say they were the first to

County tax millage and more
Dear Editor,
In 2021, you may remember, the county council passed a 9.9-mil tax hike for roads. The state law capped the increase at 5.3 mils. The council majority at the time created a loophole or “dummy” road reserve to get around the state cap. I voted “No,” as it was a record tax hike and my oath was to follow the law, not concoct schemes to get around it.
Three months ago, I made a motion to lower the tax from 9.9 mils to the legal limit of 5.3 mils, putting the county back on the right side of the law without any doubt. It passed 4 to 2, with councilors Chris Lollis, Scott Lang and Dale Holloway voting for the tax cut.
The law allowed the 5.3-mil cap to be breached in emergency situations like an adverse

Seniors and social media
The list of scams against seniors keeps getting longer and longer. Just when we have a handle on the various types of fraud, here come new ones. But there’s one area where we do have some control: social media.
One place I’ve always been concerned about (and therefore have never joined) is the small neighborhood social media chat groups. So much gets talked about, and people generally feel safe because, after all, they’re chatting with their neighbors. But you never
