Why America?
Over the years a theory has been that the United States of America was another of God’s chosen nations. Just as Israel was God’s chosen nation and people to provide the world 
with a Savior, the USA may have been chosen to evangelize the world.
Considering such a possibility, in this 250th year as a nation, it’s time we realized this very precious and unique assignment given to us by our Creator.
America has been blessed with the ability to “preach this Gospel to all nations” (Matthew 24:14). America

Letters to the Editor
There are nice, caring people
Dear Editor,
About three weeks ago, I looked out my window and saw that my mailbox had been knocked to the ground. We live in a rural area.
I walked down to the mailbox to remove it from the driveway, thinking my husband couldn’t repair it due to his illness. About 30 minutes later, a wonderful lady rang my doorbell. She said that she saw me struggling with the mailbox and said, “My son-in-law can fix that.” They even went to buy supplies. I didn’t see them return; they sure did, and repaired it.
I live on Saluda Dam Road.
I think she’ll never know how much I appreciated that kind act. I would love to hug her and thank her properly.
That reaffirms my belief that there are a lot of nice, caring people.

Negative thoughts can be more like a haunted house on a dark and stormy night. We all have our own unique collections of thoughts and emotions, which
