A 100-year-old British World War II veteran was interviewed on the BBC and told the reporter that the sacrifice his friends made and the lives of his other comrades at risk was not worth it. It was one of the saddest stories I've read this year.
"My message is, I can see in my mind's eye, rows and rows of white stones, of all the hundreds of my friends and everybody else, that gave their lives - for what?" Alex Penstone said. "The country of today... No, I'm sorry, the sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now."

Downtown Spring Hope was filled with a grand variety of hand-crafted pottery thanks to the Spring Hope Chamber of Commerce who hosted the annual Dan Finch Potters' Market again this year.

Last time, we began to explore what a hallucination theory concerning the apostle Peter's experiences would look like. From that exploration, we concluded that Peter neither had the "anticipating spirit" nor the "hopeful expectancy" to have hallucinated a risen Jesus. Much of the same can be said of hallucination theories concerning Paul's experience as well.
Similar to Peter, critics often theorize that Paul's experience was a hallucination of the risen Jesus.

NASHVILLE - One in six people in Nash County are getting government help to buy their groceries - but with the federal shutdown, full benefits stopped Nov. 1. The WIC (Women, Infants or Children) program, however, is presently secure through Nov. 30.
