  • Telethon a success

     To the editor: 

    We want to thank everyone that was watching the David Russell Heart Transplant Telethon on March 9, on WLAF Channel 12 and those who called in your pledges. We couldn’t have had a successful telethon without you all. We will use the money to pay for things that insurance doesn’t. We want to thank WLAF Channel 12 for the use of your facilities and to Josh and Jason.

  • From a Mother's Heart

     John the Baptist told two of his disciples (Andrew and, most likely, John or Philip) that Jesus was the “Lamb of God,” and suddenly, they turned around and followed him. Jesus asked bluntly, “What do you want?”

  • Spiritually Speaking

     If you are a Christian and you love the Lord do you ever feel like searching your heart?

    I am going to paraphrase Psalm 139 NIV, please read it in its entirety.

    O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

    You hem me in, behind and before you have laid your hand upon me such knowledge is too lofty for me to attain.

  • Inmate ministry program a saving grace

     To the editor: 

    My daughter is one of the volunteer leaders who was mentioned in the article about the women’s jail ministry. Therefore, I have had the opportunity to visit this jail ministry first hand. By the grace of God, I have never had to face what a lot of these women are facing. Rightly so, they are paying for crimes they have committed, however, they are more than inmates serving time. Above all else they are children of God just like you and I.

  • Provide greater access to more sports

     To the editor: 

    As parents, we should be providing as many opportunities for our children as possible. Whether it is academics, athletics or social clubs, any extracurricular activities make for a more disciplined and well-rounded child. We know that it improves their self-esteem, physical fitness and contributes overall to a better community. When children are busy with other activities, they are less likely to get into trouble.
