Last Wednesday morning, I was scrolling through social media, when a post caught my eye, then ear. Mrs. Rebecca Schroeder of Thomasville posted a video with a caption that read “He’s off to school this morning officially a licensed driver.” That is a fun, exciting moment for any driver regardless of the vehicle, but her son, Brayden, was driving a strong, beautiful machine. It was a gorgeous white Ford Mustang GT 5.0 with a black spoiler and red brake calipers. I’m more of a meme reader than video watcher, but I had to go back to her post and watch...

The key to winning this seat like any open U.S. Senate seat is having or garnering campaign money. Having your own money is always paramount to winning a coveted Senate seat anywhere in America.

I believe that this is especially true when care is given to select hymns that are written around the great truths of the Bible. I did a little research on the subject of great Biblical hymns and found that “Amazing Grace” topped the list. I was not...
