Memories & Recipes

Eating fried doughnuts with Ed Sullivan

I received an e-mail from G. G. Atchley of North Caro-lina. She had read the article about root beer floats and paperdolls.

Governor's races duller today

The governor’s race is on in Ala-bama. It is an every four year event that we cherish and enjoy immensely.

The June 6 voting isn’t an “election,” but a primary to benefit the two major political parties, the Democrats and Republicans. Nominees for offices are chosen for each office for the “real” election in November. In years past, the Democratic primary was the same as […]

By Rev. Heary RodgersWhatley and Gainestown A.O.H. Churches There are many trials that we face in our lives. Many times we feel that we have no one to turn to or we might feel we don’t know who to turn to. My friend, you need to turn to Jesus. He can handle any kind of problem. There are none too […]
