While much has been written in recent years to try to dismiss the fact that America was founded upon the biblical principles of Judeo-Christianity, all the revisionism in the world cannot change the facts. Anyone who examines the original writings, personal correspondence, biographies, and public statements of the individuals who were instrumental in the founding of America will find an abundance of quotations showing the profound extent to which their thinking and lives were influenced by a Christian worldview. That is not to say that all of...

Let the party begin. The U.S. Senate trial kicked off this week on the impeachment of Donald Trump. They should probably turn this into a reality TV show. The only difference would be that the viewers already know the outcome, because the Republican Congress is not going to kick Trump out of office on the eve of the 2020 elections. I never was a fan of the show 'Survivor' but I knew people who watched it every week trying to figure out who would get kicked out next. I already know the answer to...
“The gas has no money” is what Century's CPA Robert Hudson said Tuesday night when asked why the town's natural gas system was three years behind on payments. The question and answer came up as the Century Town Council voted to use about $219,000 from the Local Option Sales Tax to pay off debts in the gas, water and sewer departments.
