A theological dimension on homelessness

I’d like to add a theological dimension to Staff Writer Rachel Black’s article, “Homelessness in Hart: ‘a vicious cycle’” November 28, 2024. In Christian theology there is no question that God favors the poor. God calls upon human beings to love one another, and to care for the poor in particular.

A memory-lane ride through Brantley County

Somewhere around Hortense, I began to wonder: “When was the last time I was on this stretch of U.S. 301 South?” By the time I got to Raybon—home of Wayne Morgan, my friend and world-class outdoor photographer—I decided that I couldn’t remember when.

In Georgia, we do things right

Shop Local this Saturday

Small businesses are the backbone of Georgia’s economy. They’re owned by our friends, neighbors, and families. They create jobs, support our schools, and help our communities stay strong. Small businesses also give us choices.

Touched by Genetics

When we are born we are what we are because of what we inherit from our parents. We inherit our looks, coloration, hair and eye color, height, intellect and just about everything that makes up who and what we are. These biological traits are inherited.

Every boy should be so lucky as to have an Uncle Billy

This Thanksgiving story began 70 years ago. Every boy should be so lucky. When I was 6 years old, he was more than my uncle. He was my hero. Uncles are men who can span any generation to become a boy’s best friend, too. Our bond began as soon as I could walk and talk.

So many helpers on this day of Thanksgiving
