Teach children right and wrong

It is no secret that the world our children are growing up in is different from that of their parents and grandparents. Most adults today have no idea what it’s like growing up with every teenager having a magical piece of glass in their pocket that can summon or create nearly limitless content.

Repent

To the editor: O that the peace of God was on our land, just like it used to be, where neighbors cared and lent a hand to help in time of need. If God’s people would turn back and repent, they can get it right by giving up their sins before the dark of night. The judgment hand of God is near.

Memories of events from long ago are still vivid for old guy

Someone asked me one time, “What is your earliest memory?” Well, if I’m remembering the memory correctly, it would be the time I had my photo taken with Smiley Burnette. I think I was four or five. I could be wrong, though, because I probably couldn’t count when I was four or five.

Some gave all, some still are

If you enjoyed the democratic election we had Tuesday, thank a veteran. Our brave men and women who have protected this country since its inception are the ones to whom we owe our freedom. But for many veterans, the fighting is not over, even after they come home.

Give us our rights

To the editor: I remember when we dared not get pregnant before ready to raise a family because abortions were illegal. Classmates were disgraced when overactive hormones led to pregnancy.

If I could bring you back again

To the editor: In loving memory of Larry La Prade: If my tears could build a bridge and my memories could build a lane, I’d walk right up to “Heaven’s Portals” and bring you back home again. I’d walk down that “Golden Stairway” so I could hold your hand again.

Allegiance is to democracy

To the editor: If you care about the economy and inflation, vote for Democracy as you then have a voice.  If you care about gas prices going up, get the truth, as in most countries, gas prices are up much more as Biden released some of our gas reserves.

Silly becomes sickening

We mentioned last week our candidates need to show more statesmanship and decorum, but the situation is far worse than we thought. The television ads are getting worse and worse, and they are bringing up topics some families are not even ready to talk with their children about yet.
