Pastor David Eidson delivered our message in Word from Romans 8:1-17, “Conquering Habitual Sins”. Do not seek things of the world, but seek things of Christ. We should be still and listen to Him, stay in step with the Holy Spirit, be different from others, and live life in the Holy Spirit. Get plugged into the power source – get plugged into the Holy Spirit!

BUNN -- Following the graduation of a star-studded senior class -- including three college signees -- it was easy to wonder if this would be a rebuilding season for the Nash Central Lady Bulldogs’ softball squad.
But over the years, Central has built a strong softball pipeline thanks to excellence on the middle school and JV levels -- along with a burgeoning travel program in Nash County.

FAYETTEVILLE -- Visions of 1998’s state championship run had been dancing in the heads of Northern Nash basketball fans as the Lady Knights played South Central last Saturday for the right to go to the finals for a state championship.
But a frigid shooting effort by Northern in the most important game it has played in over a decade ended those hopes as they fell 47-24 to South Central in the finals of the NCHSAA 3-A Girls Eastern Regionals at Crown Arena.

OXFORD -- Nash Central spoiled J.F. Webb’s home opener last Friday behind a complete-game performance from pitcher Jeremy Sloop.

CHAPEL HILL -- Listed are this weekend’s state pairings and last weekend’s regional results from the North Carolina High School Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments:

RED OAK -- With only 10 players available due to injuries and incomplete physical forms, the Louisburg Lady Warriors took a much-needed defensive posture during their regular season girls soccer opener last Tuesday against the Northern Nash Lady Knights.
And the strategy worked before NN was able to put together a pair of late goals in the first half to take command.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. -- North Carolina Wesleyan’s softball team entered last weekend’s Beach Blast tournament at Virginia Wesleyan College having played very well against a tough schedule, but still searching for its first victory of the season.
That search ended on day one of the tournament.
NASH COUNTY -- When Chuck Braswell started the Stretchlon Lady Stars fast-pitch Travel Ball softball program in 2003, he had some hefty goals in mind.
First, Braswell wanted to help build quality players for Nash and Edgecombe Counties and help make the local schools more competitive with surrounding counties.
Southern Nash’s Jarrett Hagler played in the No. 1 group for the Firebirds during their team golf matchup Monday afternoon against Wilson Fike and Louisburg at The River Golf Club.
The Edgecombe-Nash Retired School Personnel met on Tuesday, February 8 10:30 a.m. in Braswell Memorial Library’s Warner Room. After President Laurette Lewis greeted everyone, Vice President Mary Williams gave the devotion on God leading us to help others.
It depends on how far back you want to remember.
Gas is really expensive right now. Sunday, a couple of hours before putting this article together, the price on the signs in Nashville and Spring Hope were $3.31 a gallon. At least where and when I drove by they were. Two days before, I filled up at one of those stations for $3.24, thinking it was going to get worse before it got better.
And it is going to get worse yet.
