Today's Opinions

  • Why the oldies really are goodies

    Have you ever heard the old saying, “It’s an oldie but a goodie?”

    This past weekend was Easter. In a religious sense, it’s by far my favorite holiday due to the example of renewal, rebirth, and hope for all.

    In a nostalgic sense, there were so many great movies on as well that I remember as a child.

  • Obama’s European Voyage

    President Barack Obama has just completed his first overseas international trip in his young presidency.  

    While in Europe, Obama attended the G-20 meeting in Great Britain, a NATO meeting in France, and a European Union meeting in the Czech Republic.During the same time, international events transpired that showed the naivety of Obama and the foreign policy he is implementing.  

  • From A Mother’s Heart - Celebrations of Love

    Having special days that reminds us to love and be loved is so wonderful.

    For the past several weeks, I have had more rare opportunities than usual, to really enjoy some quality time with some of my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. One day in March, I took my little 3-year-grandson, Bryson with me to meet my daughter Patty at her house in Jacksboro. The three of us drove over to Knoxville Zoo where we met up with Patty’s daughter, Sandy, and her three children, Ava, 5-years-old, Aydin, 3-years-old, and Alex, 2-years-old.

  • Time to live like you are dying

    What do you think when you hear about the end of the world?

    Do you believe it will happen, or do you feel as though it’s nothing more than a mere hoax? Despite your beliefs, this week’s story relates to everyone, Christian or not.

    Anyone who knows me, personally or through my weekly column, knows that I whole-heartedly believe in God.

  • There is More Happening Than Meets the Eye

    It is called a diversion or sleight of hand, in magic.  

    In Gunsmoke, the bad guys would have set fire to the livery stable and while Doc, Festus and Marshall Dillon were putting out the fire, the guys in the black hats robbed the bank, or the Longbranch – or both.  

    In Washington, they just robbed the taxpayers.

    But, even though we just passed the largest spending bill in history, I am disturbed that something much bigger is in the making, such as our liberty and our individual freedoms being pilfered.
