Ponderings on the typical
Dear Editor,
Today’s talk is on, the typical. They think they are God’s gift to all of the women in the world. Doesn’t matter that they may be uglier than a hog in the mud. They still think that they can just walk into a room full of beautiful women and grin then the women will come running as fast as they can to them! They are the typical man! Another typical one is even if they see a man buck-toothed and ugly as a Missouri mule eating saw

Confusion over payment for non-VA medical care
Let’s hear it for whistleblowers, especially when big money is involved, and most especially when some of that money should have gone into the pockets of veterans.
Specifically, starting in 2001, non-VA medical providers and veterans had 90 days to file for reimbursement for veterans who had sought

The danger of old cookware
When I was expecting a large crowd I needed to pull out all of my old cookware and see 
if I had enough pieces.
Yes, I had enough pieces. No, I didn’t just wash them up and start cooking. Some of the pots and pans were so old I was

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.

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.

Nothing can keep us from the love of God
Memories can be wonderful places to visit when they are pleasant and filled with peace and joy. On the other hand, not all of our experiences have been pleasant.
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
