LIBERTY — One year removed from an Upper State championship appearance and facing the challenge of playing in a new region this fall, the Liberty High 
School volleyball team doesn’t appear to have lost a step in an unbeaten start to region play.
The Red Devils’ strong play was on full display last week as they dropped region foe Chesnee in straight sets.
“We’re new to this region this year, so we really haven’t known what to expect,” Liberty head coach

Will the Fed’s plan work or leave us fed up?

What does that mean to you? Hundreds, or probably thousands of dollars down the drain if you’re carrying some credit card debt or have a variable rate

We live in the greatest nation ever. One thing I love is we have the freedom of speech.
Your paper is one of the few whose readers haven’t contributed some biased, narrow-minded rants. It’s good to see a paper whose contributors know how to properly present their opinion or opinions in an adult manner, not acting like angst-filled children.

Dedicating or hesitating?
I attempt to keep my eyes and ears open to learn about the Holy Spirit and human behavior. In my spiritual journey, the situations I’ve encountered through counseling and teaching have graciously allowed me to see the importance of walking in humility through the awareness of God’s presence.

To be honest, the more I discover about His written and specific will, the more I realize I have hardly scratched the surface of pleasing Him.
I’ve learned that our rebellious human nature loves being independent while God is constantly trying to reveal to
