From the Bleachers – Strength

From the Bleachers – Strength
By Beth Volpert

From where I sit, or stand and cheer, measures of strength can vary greatly. There is the obvious muscle power it takes to drive back an offensive line or push through a defense.

Reflecting on family and home – Those Carefree Days!

By Mandy Snell Harris

I made the comment to a friend the other day, and after I said it, I realized that it truly does apply to me. “ I’m so glad I was aware of how much fun I was having cause I didn’t want to miss anything!”

A new sense of community within a community


A new sense of community within a community

By Steven P. Starling

There are many memories of everyday life and community, as it used to be.  We never knew we would miss these plain times, we didn’t think of them giving way to the years.  There is a “sayin” my brother Walton started using years ago; he could have heard it in his youth, or most likely from our Daddy.  When we pass an old farm or home place that has served the purpose of producing crops and raising generations of family he says, “well, another old place fallen on hard times and hard ways”.
