- Suffering - Knox For Sheriff - Eye Donation - Aquatic Club Thanks Suffering Editor, Times-Union: To all people who are suffering, and without hope, this is to you. Life is at times very difficult, sometimes life is nearly unbearable. I speak the truth when I tell you, I know how depressing the trials of life can be. I grew up without a dad, and my mom was an alcoholic. My mom is OK now, I love her very much. My dad committed suicide about four years ago this March. I have been through the alcoholism that nearly cost me my life, and the depression into which my father sank so deeply that he killed himself. Yes I know.I have experienced the hopelessness that these things cause and the depths of depression that are a result.

- Say What Needs To Be Said - Webster Post Office - Abortion - Veterans Day Say What Needs To Be Said Editor, Times-Union: The last several weeks have been a real eye opener for me - how people think and what makes them do the things they do.Trust me I don't have the answers for all the world's problems but God does! When we question the wisdom of God, when we put our trust in our own feelings and not in his written word, we are in for a big surprise. I learned a long time ago you eat words that our not according to God's plan and it scares me when I hear people say things that someday I know they'll have to weigh and live through.

- Bible Laws - Recycling Program - One View - Stand Up Bible Laws Editor, Times-Union: In response to Jonathan Mauk's letter of 7/5/06: Dear Mr.Mauk, Thank you for your letters to the Times-Union educating people regarding God's Law.I have learned a great deal from them, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination.End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the laws and how to best follow them.

Outsourcing And Insourcing

There has been lots of talk in recent months and years about outsourcing. You know.That's when a U.S.company decides it's cheaper to make stuff overseas.When U.S.companies do that, it costs U.S.jobs. That's unfortunate, but if you're a widget manufacturer, and you want to be competitive with other widget manufacturers, you might have to outsource. What if the other widget guy is outsourcing and his widgets are cheaper than yours? Nobody will buy yours.You'll go out of business.So I can see, on the one hand, why businesses are outsourcing.It's simple economics. But a larger question is why labor is so much cheaper in those other countries.See, if those other countries weren't paying their workers a dollar an hour, there'd be no incentive to outsource. But businesses in those other countries don't have things like environmental laws and worker protection laws and safety regulations to deal with.

Islam, Terrorism And The Mideast

Part two of four: Islam's teachings and practices Editor's Note: Dr.Davis has had extensive contact with the Arab world and Islam through his participation in 10 archaeological expeditions to the Middle East.He is the author of 17 books and is professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake.He also writes the weekly column, "Outdoor Scene," for the Times-Union. With the widely publicized declarations of Muslim extremists calling for holy war (Jihad) against the United States and the Western world, many are wondering just what kind of religion Islam really is. Remember that it was in the name of Allah, the God of Islam, that terrorists crashed domestic airliners into the Trade Towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

Group Seeks To Halt WCS Building Plans

Hoping to get the Warsaw School Board to stop the push toward closing four schools and building two, a group of Kosciusko County residents is now circulating a petition to begin the remonstrance process. Headed by spokeswoman Becky Thomas, the group's goal is to create a committee of representatives from all the elementary schools in the district to take time to study the issues involved and to make recommendations. "It's not that we're against a building project," Thomas said."Let's just look at the overall situation - current facilities, the tax situation, what's best for all the children. "We just want it looked at by the public - representatives from each school equally, not handpicked by the superintendent or the board." The remonstrance is a reaction to a resolution passed by the board at its June 16 meeting.In that resolution, the board voted to add on to and/or renovate Claypool Elementary and build a new school to replace Jefferson Elementary.
