To the one who said that tithes was not demanded in the earlier church. Why don’t you do more research. Tithes was given before God commanded that we are to be obedient in paying a tenth — tithe. Tithes and offerings are put to use in paying the pastor, paying utility bills, Sunday School supplies, pay for a group to come to sing, fall festivals, and other activities in the church. Not all pastors and churches misuse the funds.
Thanks to the Humane Society of Valdosta/Lowndes County. This group of dedicated individuals are working hard to ensure a quality life for animals in our area. The adoption events hosted by this group and the low cost spay/neuter program is greatly appreciated. Your diligence does not go unnoticed.
The biggest group of takers in America compose of big oil and farmers. Why are they subsidies? Especially big oil with their larger profits. These are your takers. But as long as you complain about your neighbor getting a little help you overlook what’s really going on.
Obama is a great president. I am a graduate student who works, pays taxes, and lives on $330 per month. Obama got me health insurance when I couldn’t afford it, and I don’t believe the wealthiest country in the world should let its own citizens die from lack of health care, easy as that.
To the ranter thinking that pastors keep 90 percent of money given to the church. Wrong. Most churches have a salary for their pastor and money is spent on electricity, water, etc. Money is given to charities, widows, ministry and various sources for the needy. That does not mean that some churches do not use God’s money correctly or wisely. But feel free to give to the needy directly then you know where your money is going.
The police wouldn’t come get the bums. They’d call the ambulance just like they do when you’re drunk so they don’t have to do paperwork.
Law for left turning traffic is to enter the intersection if you have a green arrow or yellow arrow. Once the green light comes up you are to remain behind the stop bar till you are able to enter and clear the intersection. If you enter the intersection on a green light to turn left, you could be cited for blocking an intersection.
I rode down to Hanson and watched the Christmas light show. Special thanks for the family that made this happen. My kids loved it!

I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.
