Computer games and Lent

I’m so proud of my friend Jane!

She (like I am) is very, very, very fond of computer games. We exchange games at any opportunity, so we can discuss them. One of the most recent questions for discussion was “how do I kill this ‘boss’?”

The Preacher’s Corner

Every Sunday ought to be a little Easter

Last Saturday I saw a little girl and her grandmother hunting Easter eggs in the front yard. It did not seem to matter that it was a week late. When you are 4, fun does not have to correspond with any particular date on the calendar, and hiding and finding colorful eggs filled with candy is fun just about any time.

Letters To The Editor

Participate in census:
To the editor:

Every 10 years the U.S. Constitution says the government must do a census. Filling in the census form is important because it’s like filling in the future.

Awarded Order of St. George

First Lt. Battle Bell Ewing II (center, above) received the Order of St. George from the U.S. Army recently. He is scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan around April 20 and is a member of the 101st Airborne, stationed out of Ft. Campbell, Ky. Battle, originally from Byhalia, is the son of Bobby and Susan Bonds of Byhalia. He was also promoted to captain after receiving the award. The Saint George Award, formally the Order of Saint George Medallion, is the top award given to members of the Army's mounted force by the United States Armor Association of the United States Army. The United States Armor Association began its awards program in 1986. It is named in honor of Saint George, who is the patron of mounted warriors and is often depicted on horseback. The Saint George Award program provides the mounted force with a way to recognize outstanding performance. Recipients of the Saint George Award must be members of the United States Armor Association and they must be nominated by another qualified member.
