While watching the “Space Buddies” movie (picture below) the other night – Oh, you haven’t seen it. Well, it’s about these rambunctious pups who’ve stared in a few movies. They talk to each other and get into all kinds of trouble. In this movie they “accidentally” end up on a space shuttle and take a… Read More »

So this week’s Wednesday News & Views is dedicated to William Screven. Born in England (1629-1713) Screven immigrated to New England in the 1640s.… Read More »
NASCAR and College Football
On the way to Greenville yesterday, Will Beaty and I passed two NASCAR haulers (photo below) for Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne. Being NASCAR fans, they caught our attention.

Smartphones

Advancing God’s Kingdom
Recently I bumped into the same man on two different occasions in our community. His family used to be members of our church, but have been gone for several years now. I’m sometimes a little slow to hear God, but eventually I catch on. So the second time I saw him, I asked him where… Read More »
