The phrase “your tax dollars at work” may as well be “your tax dollars on vacation” whenever there’s a government shutdown.

We talk today about moral decline, but we forget that we are actively removing God from our homes, our schools, and the political world.

Andy Griffith Alabama News
Sean of the South: Andy

I get Andy. And though I never knew him, he seems to understand me. And when I see that familiar jailhouse, or hear Barney Fife’s tenor voice, I am no longer that lonely child who once sat before a television and wondered if anyone would ever love him.

Tree nuts, farmers market, pistachios Alabama News
Tuberville: From farms to farmers markets — Boosting the tree nut industry

Praying Alabama News
Lauren DeMoss Benson: Weathering these scary times with confidence

We need to get on our knees and turn to God in prayer and beg Him to do a work in us – His people – and then do a work in our country.

Value-creating tourist destinations improve Alabama’s economy – and our lives. But subsidizing tourism with tax dollars will not create prosperity. 

Jack Campbell Alabama News

Upside Down World Alabama News
Joey Clark: An upside down world is nothing new to men of the West

Look outside your window at the topsy-turvy wide world, and I swear you’ll see waterfalls flowing upwards. The question in such an upside-down world is: Will you go with the backwards flow or set out to restore the world to its proper place?
