Shuckin' the corn isn't just a bluegrass classic (relevance: 100%, date: Jul 9, 2025)
I was not hiding under an umbrella on the beach or looking for an errant golf ball or even managing my smoker on July Fourth.
Instead, I was reliving a childhood trauma that really wasn't that traumatic, maybe more so that the child at the time was dramatic.
Due to the kindness of a distant relative and old friend, I found myself with a large box of sweet corn on my kitchen floor on the most patriotic of holidays.
I was shucking. My wife was silking, there was a huge stockpot boiling and another almost as big pot with cool water and ice in it.

Nash Central ready to shine in a new league (relevance: 100%, date: Jun 24, 2025)
ROCKY MOUNT -- Nash Central will be hoppin' a train toward new frontiers this fall -- albeit with a relatively familiar group of fellow passengers.
Following the latest realignment by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, the Bulldogs will spend the next four years in the newly formed Quad County Conference, which will, along with NCHS, feature schools from Franklin, Johnston and Halifax Counties.
Three of those schools are no strangers to NCHS as Roanoke Rapids and Bunn have spent the last four years in the Big East Conference along with the Bulldogs -- while Louisburg is a previous Big East entrant.

WHITLEY WINNER (relevance: 100%, date: Jun 24, 2025)
ROCKY MOUNT -- Accepting the prestigious Dudley Whitley Award was a tremendous honor for Nash Central High School long-time Athletic Director Kyle Bain.
But how it came to fruition will always be just as memorable for Bain.
The Dudley Whitley is Nash County Schools' most prestigious award, given annually to only one teacher/coach in the county.
And in order to be considered, a coach must be nominated -- and that usually comes from a professional peer.

Nash County Health Department holds national H.I.V. test day (relevance: 33.3%, date: Jul 9, 2025)
ROCKY MOUNT- With Edgecombe County one of the two North Carolina counties with the most HIV prevalence (31 per 100,000 people), the Nash County Health Department is continuing to push the word out about free testing, as was the case with a community event for National HIV Testing Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 27 outside the train station in Rocky Mount.

Why do Christians have to suffer? (relevance: 33.3%, date: Jul 9, 2025)
The one Christian promise that I don't particularly like is the fact that Christian living includes its share of suffering. But that's exactly what Jesus promised us when He said, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me". (Mark 8:34)
Mature Christians cling to those words during dark times in their lives. It's not so much that misery loves company, but rather that they realize that the crosses they will be asked to bear will bring deeper spiritual growth.

Is God Dead? - What is the point? (relevance: 33.3%, date: Jul 9, 2025)
So, what is the point? That is the ultimate question, right? The ultimate worldview question: what is the point? Ultimately, there must be a point to it all rather than not. We humans possess the attributes that we do for some reason. Consider the human qualities that have nothing to do with "survival of the fittest," like the human soul and all it entails. For example, the exclusively human capacity to think abstract thoughts, especially abstract thoughts about a God that no one can directly see or hear. Even so, there is a strong argument to be made that a great Being of which one greater cannot be conceived exists necessarily. Let me explain.

Momeyer delays budget adoption past state deadline (relevance: 33.3%, date: Jul 9, 2025)
MOMEYER - In what appeared to be an unexpected move, Momeyer town officials voted at a June 30 special meeting to delay budget adoption until the town council's regularly scheduled July 14 meeting. That will push the town past the July 1 budget adoption deadline as set by the North Carolina General Assembly. An interim budget ordinance was passed to authorize needed spending until the budget is approved.
