  • Our world experiencing fulfillment of prophecy

    Among the many wars throughout world include those in Israel and Iraq. The Bible predicts numerous wars and plagues will hit the Earth. AIDS and HIV diseases originated in Africa. Now Africa suffers with the deadly Ebola. If it hits the United States it would probably wipe out much of our population. It could happen. With all the travelers someone is bound to bring it back to the U.S.

    Are these examples of the fulfillment of the Bible’s prophecy? There will be a war above all wars.

  • Try praying, not protesting in Ferguson

    I am writing in response to the violence in Ferguson, Mo. It truly hurts me to see what is happening there. My thoughts and my prayers go out to the family of Michael Brown.

    Have we forgotten that prayer changes things, not violent protesting? It is time to “let go and let God.” Look up to where our help comes from. He answers prayers in his time, not ours.

    Help Mr. Brown’s family. Don’t hurt them in the way you are protesting.

    Peace and calm are the keys to this situation. Jesus said it, “Peace be still.”

  • The numbers reveal why S.C. roads so bad

    There is near unanimity that the condition of our state’s roads is in serious decline. However, there is debate as to why. Our roads are an asset, and as with most assets their condition can be measured by numbers.

    What follows are figures that must be considered to make South Carolina’s roads and bridges as safe and smooth as they were a generation ago.

    S.C. Taxes and Fees

    u South Carolina ranks No. 4 among 50 states in miles of state-maintained roads with 41,460 miles

    u South Carolina ranks No 3 among states in lowest fuel tax

  • Clear choice for solicitor is defined

    This is a partial response to Sandy McGarry’s article, “Local voters have clear choice in solicitor’s race,” in the Aug. 31 edition of The Lancaster News.

    Ms. McGarry states that her candidate, Randy Newman, is a “passionate” prosecutor. This implies to me that he is a “soft” prosecutor who would not waste time indicting criminals, but let them go on “probation” to free up the backlog of pending criminal cases in our 6th Circuit.

  • Healthy school lunches for healthy kids

    With the new school year, parents’ attention is turning to school lunches. Traditionally, then U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities.

    Children consumed animal fat and sugary drinks, to the point where one-third have became overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws became lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

  • AT&T, SCPA sponsor It Can Wait campaign

    Each year in America, texting drivers cause more than 100,000 automobile crashes resulting in death or life-changing injuries.

    At AT&T, we are serious about wanting consumers to enjoy the benefits of wireless technology, while also using their mobile devices wisely and safely. So we launched the It Can Wait campaign, a national initiative designed to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving and to hopefully save lives by changing behavior.

  • Letter shows lack of legal system understanding

    In nearly 40 years as a lawyer, and 35 years as a law professor, I have seldom read or heard comments that demonstrated a greater lack of understanding about the American legal system than the letter from Sandy McGarry that appeared in the Aug. 31 issue of The Lancaster News.

    That the letter was written by someone who is a local leader of a major political party made that lack of understanding even more disappointing.
