Sometimes the simplest of things can tell the greatest story.
Take the wreath that hangs every Christmas at Red Oak Baptist Church. At first glance, the wreath looks like a beautifully decorated holiday wreath. But that five-foot wreath tells a story, a story of healing, of prayer, of Christmas.

With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore...
Twas the night after Christmas, when all through our place,
It looked like a tornado had hit our space..
Recently, Nashville lost two people who were really important to the town.
Joe Wilson, who owned The Graphic years ago, passed away last Monday evening. But aside from his time here at The Graphic, Mr. Wilson really jumped into the Nashville community. He did so many things for this community, there’s no way I could even list them all without leaving something out.
Nashville has lost several key members of its community over the last several weeks.
Sometimes when so many people leave us over a short window of time, it’s really easy to get depressed over how much we’ve lost.
But it’s also important to remember how much we gained from these people as they shared their life with us and this community.
