The Lord does not give us a spirit of fear

It stood crumbling and decaying at the end of a long gravel road with six-foot-tall weeds and brush growing on either side. On cool Fall nights, my friends and I would test our bravery by seeing just how close we could walk down that winding road, the wind rustling through the weeds, sounds encroaching from all sides, and then the looming presence of the old building rising out of the darkness, usually we would find ourselves sprinting back for the main road before we ever got close to the venturing in-side. 10/25/2024 11:42 AM

Aged to perfection
Just when Forrest Hodges thought his deer season couldn’t get any better, it did. On September 28 — opening day of the current statewide Managed Lands Deer and Archery Only whitetail seasons — the 37-year-old logging contrac- tor from Jacksonville brought down a free-ranging whitetail buck with a magnificent set of antlers. 10/25/2024 11:42 AM
