How many people who actually occupy seats in our Congress were quick to proclaim that the documents were planted. Really? I am tempted to say this comes right out of a Mafia playbook which leads me to determine that we are truly in trouble as a country. Others around the world have to be incredulous at best and smirking at least.

Town of Port Roy al’s Development Re view Board (PRDRB) chose to preserve a 350 yearold “Mother” Live Oak tree and her nearly dozen-mem ber oak grove “family” at their regularly-scheduled Sept. 1 meeting. In doing so, the board thwarted the plans of a Spartanburg-based real estate development group to build 200 apartment units. Buried in 1818 in the shade of the extraordinary mother tree is a woman named Mary Pope who is said to have been a slave at the Cherry Hill Plantation, which before 1860, occupied a long stretch of the south shore of Battery Creek. While an effort had been made by the developers to protect the tree and the grave, the PRDRB saw it as inadequate. To their credit the board, in voting 5-0 against the apartment proj ect, also chose to preserve the mother tree’s exceptional oak grove “family,” virtually all of which would have been lost to make room for the apartments, according to the developer’s proposed site plan.Oak groves are very special places, and the one that was at issue before the PRDRB on Sept. 1 is a partic ularly unusual and largely forgotten one that stands stoically between the Parris Island Gateway and the Battery Creek, not far from where the new food truck court is now.

And so, Senator Graham, I return to your dire prediction, and I am forced to ask if you are prognosticating or advo cating? You suggest “riots in the streets” if he is indicted. I, in turn, suggest a total crum bling of our legal system as we know it if Donald Trump is summarily excused while others, whose crimes are that of theft and less, are impris oned.Do you really believe there is one set of rules for the entitled and another for the common man?

So now it would appear that South Carolina has a Senator who dabbles in prognostication and has determined that if Donald Trump is prosecuted for the crimes he committed, there will be, and I quote, “riots in theWhatstreets.”are we to gather from this ominous prediction? Do you mean similar to that of the friendly tourists of the Capitol on Jan. 6? And what exactly, Senator, are you suggesting is the alternative to prosecuting a person who is knee deep in criminal activity? Should these tres passes be excused because riots, excuse me, touring will ensue?Let’s examine for the time being “the trespasses” to which I allude.

Yahres has walked the property that was at issue on Sept.“Down1. toward the Battery Creek there are two Live Oaks I call ‘the Twin Oaks,’” he said, “with a low brick sur rounding around them. That looks to me like there would be graves there too.”
January turns to June, with much back-and-forth regard ing further returns, and when it is determined there are still hundreds of missing articles, the FBI arrives at the Presi dent’s home in Florida with a legally approved search warrant. Just a note for those rioters to whom our illustri ous, prophesying Senator alludes: it wasn’t the storming of the Bastille in the dead of night by men shrouded in black. Rather the FBI showed up at 10 a.m, most dressed in suits. Furthermore, this was reported to the media by Mr. Trump, along with the lame response, echoed by so many of the sycophants hours later, “All you had to do was ask.”

Designs would evolve over the years so the grandchildren could be rep resented on the backs of the shirts, but eventually there got to be so many names, I think we all kind of gave up trying to fit all of them in that space.Early on, we had a design contest for the T-shirts.

Why, you might ask, does anybody need to know the actual location of the Russian airbase? Well, it’s location might help one understand what kind of weapons were used by the Ukrainians to knock-out the “several Russian warplanes” allegedly destroyed.Weknow, for example, that the American-supplied M777 howitzers have a range of 25 miles. We also know that our newly deployed HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) has a range of 50 miles. If we can somehow find a map of Crimea (and have access to a ruler) we can figure-out that the airbase was probably located beyond the ranges of these two weapons. This leads us to the Bayraktar TB2 drone which does have the legs to get that far behind the Russian lines.
with a map showing us this Russian airbase relative to the Ukrainian/Russian front. (A related news story lists nine planes destroyed — a number that is larger than “several.”)
ment, troop strength and the topography in between.
As a Christian faith writer, I am blessed with God providing me with spiritual insights and considerations to relay to oth ers. He creates opportunities for me to share, however, what I do is not anything more special than how millions of other Christians are serving Him, and I humbly acknowl edge that most are more talented and effective than myself. I’m just a small piece of a large puzzle, one voice among many who is pointing toward the one who has all authority, who created every thing, and knows everything.
I received two prophetic encouragements that were confirmed and I’m very grateful to God for His calling. Writing is the first thing I think about when I awaken, and in the evenings I have a pad and pen on the table next to my recliner to scribble my thoughts while our English Bulldog Teddy snores in my lap.
Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In Him, you are also being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” “Jesus, thank you for shedding your blood, and resurrecting so that we might be trans formed into a living stone for your glory. Amen.”
This appears to be delib erate.The Ukrainians are not naming their units or showing where they are located. Nor are Ukrainian spokesmen tell ing NBC, CNN or Fox much about the units themselves, or troop strength relative to the strength of the Russian infantry just across the river.
Over the next few years, writing music evolved into writing devotions and ser mons and became the foun dation of what I do today. I’ve played the guitar since I was a kid and have ministered in churches, nursing homes, prisons, homeless shelters, weddings, funerals, revivals, and such throughout my life. As a former worship pastor in several churches, I’ve always enjoyed leading others into God’s presence.
But, apparently, there is a difference between what the Ukrainians have and what the Russians have.

Jesus touches the one seen as untouchable.
Those with leprosy were seen as untouchable outcasts. The disease caused one’s body to be disfigured and covered in sores. Since leprosy was believed to be very contagious, lepers were expelled from the community and forced to live outside of town. Whenever they were within sight of healthy people, they had to cry out, “Unclean! Unclean!”
Wherever Jesus goes, he brings healing and mercy.
Jesus reveals God’s unconditional love.
Touched by God
A leper comes to Jesus, asking to be made clean. As Jesus began to travel through the surrounding region of Galilee, a leper approached him and asked to be healed: “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand, touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be made clean!” Immediately, the leprosy left him and he was cleansed! (Mark 1:40-42)
By choosing to reach out and touch the leper, Jesus shows that the man’s humanity has not been taken away by his illness. He treats him with love and compassion. This is how Jesus acted throughout his three years of ministry. He had a special love for those who were rejected by society or seen as unimportant, preferring to seek them out rather than pursue the powerful or the rich. He demonstrates that God does not judge a person’s worth by worldly standards.
With a simple command, Jesus brings healing. This was a phenomenon his disciples had already begun to witness. After he preached with authority in Capernaum, astonishing those present, people began bringing their sick to the house where Jesus was staying. Whether it was a disease of the body or an illness like a severe fever, he could heal with a mere word. Instead of praying for God to cure the man, Jesus appears to cure him from his own power.

He does not work miracles just so that people will believe in him; Jesus heals and acts with compassion because of who he is. God created each person with infinite love, and he regards even the lowliest person as someone of immense importance. Jesus heals and shows mercy throughout his ministry, for he is not merely a wise teacher, but God bringing healing to his people.

Jesus Heals the Sick
He cares for those with physical needs as well as those with spiritual wounds. He heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, and restores hearing to the deaf. He casts demons out of possessed people, and he treats sinners with compassion. As Jesus explained after spending time with a tax collector who was despised by his neighbors, he “has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
