We’ve known ‘children’, young or old, who’ve strayed far away from having a personal relationship with You. Case in point: an elderly lady prayed faithfully for her adult children knowing that sooner or later, in her lifetime or after s...
This time of year is like accidentally grabbing the electric fence, In its way of making memories flash within our minds - the shortly lit days of our holidays - memories which are often intense, I think back upon my Carter County Thanksgivings and Christmas’ - quite long ago, The snow on the ground - the end of hunting season - the early sunsets with their golden glow. My earliest memories are of the Belltower community holiday celebrations - with our own community Santa in tow, The small brown paper bags of candy often w...

Being a recipe columnist implies a huge responsibility. One year many years ago, one of my infamous fan letters in the “Agri-News” complained, “The plum cake in Susan’s column was so bad my dog wouldn’t even eat it.” Turns out I had left out the word “self-rising” before flour in the ingredient list, and the reader ended up with plum colored hockey puck material. Recently, I made a mistake in one of my favorite recipes, Carol’s Heath Bar Cookies, but I did catch it and print a correction later. However, I realize not every...
