Letter to the Editor:
Nashville’s hometown doctor, Dr. Liverman, announced his retirement and it is a bittersweet moment for those of us whom he treated from a child to adult. I had gotten hives in the strawberry patch when I was a small “then colored child”, and he had my mother bring me to his house for a shot. As a mother myself, I called him on a Saturday evening because my younger son had stuck a berry in his nose. Dr. Liverman had me meet him at his office and when he got out of the car, he was dressed in a tux.

Are you a BACKYARD BREEDER? You are a backyard breeder if your dog had a litter for fun, profit or by ‘accident’.
Of all the millions of dogs in the USA, about two-thirds come from backyard breeders. They are the single greatest cause of the pet overpopulation crisis in this country.

Some people had lots of damage from falling trees. Everyone lost power and/or telephone service. But it was a blessing that devastation was not worse.
What gets into serial killers and rapists? Are they uncontrollable, unmanageable, and incorrigible? “The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so” (Romans 8:6-7).
