We should’ve never met. more

Thank you to everyone that attended the Centennial Business Coffee on September 18. It was such a blessing to see you all. We loved welcoming you into our business and spending time together. more

Over the weekend, a few posts went viral concerning a man that was booked into Henry County Jail on Sunday afternoon on a $50,000 bond. The man is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor after he took photos from various women’s and children’s social media accounts and reposted them to his account with lewd comments on some. The Henry County Sheriff’s office has the man in custody and is investigating. more

It’s one of Southerner’s most-used expressions. more

Late last year, the city of Memphis wrote a $7,419.68 check to reimburse the attorney fees of journalist Marc Perrusquia rather than risk losing a public records lawsuit. more

I remember the first family gathering after my father died. The dining table my mother had received as a gift when I was in high school was stretched out and extra leaves were inserted. Six matching chairs plus several folding chairs lined both sides. At the foot of the table sat mama’s chair and at the head sat daddy’s. more

Don’t ya’ll think this election thing has done got out of hand! There are people running for president that I’ve never heard of. And, after listening to some “back and forth” amongst this gang, I realize why we’ve never heard of them! It is rhetoric on top of rhetoric, mostly pointing out what the other fellow DOESN’T have to offer. To make matters worse, the ones we have heard of don’t seem to be making enough sense to separate themselves from the pack.  more

Believe me, I understand it is football season. Major League Baseball, as it does every September, separates the pretenders from the contenders. The kids start back to school. And college campuses are filled with wide-eyed 18-year-olds full of wonder, anticipation, and maybe, just a tad of trepidation. more

Climbing the stairs to coach Gibson's office, I wondered what I was in trouble for. more

The wind blew hard northwest by west; it had commenced to snow: A small Salvation Army Band played carols, sweet and low. more

Walking down the dusty road, Cleopas and his friend had little to say to each other. Their collective heartache and disappointment weighed down their normally busy tongues. For the past seven miles fewer than seven words had passed between them. more

I grew up in the safest place in America. And it could be argued, I grew up in the safest time in the storied history of our great nation. more

It seems like to me, back when I was competing in the Summer Olympics, we didn’t do so much talking between events as they do today. You can bet your bottom dollar we didn’t plan our races, high dives, and javelin throws around television commercials. And a long-winded documentary on every contestant in every event would have been superfluous. more

It happened as suddenly and unexpectedly as a lightning bolt from a cloudless sky. more

Those big shots up in Washington  are in a raging stew; more

It's a fascinating principle of human behavior that we are often most comfortable with whatever we are most familiar with — even if we don't like it. more

McKENZIE (August 1) — I am so excited for the 2024-2025 school year and cannot wait to see all the smiling faces on August 6. more

I met Fred Biletnikoff while sitting on a bench in front of the Double Tree Hotel in Canton, Ohio. He came over and said, "Hey kid, do you mind if I sit down next to you?" Obviously, I agreed. He asked me about my day, and we started talking. He mentioned that he was on his way back to Sacramento. more
