Seek first the kingdom of God

Ron Martin4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, One of the Creator’s most important directives to mankind tells us to seek first the kingdom of God. In Proverbs 8:17 He said, “I love those that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” Because this world has become so ungodly and morally corrupt, our children are finding it more difficult to learn about God and learn about loving Him and seeking His righteousness. Instead, they are taught things that are an abomination to God. Because of their unbelief of God, and not accepting that, in fact, God created heaven and earth, and everything ever created,…

Concern for America

Pam Wanner4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, I am very concerned about the state of the nation in the hands of the Democrat Party (it certainly is not democratic). It seems we are heading hell-bent down the path to Marxism since President Biden took office. Everything his administration has accomplished is to the negative. Nothing, in my opinion, has been done to the credit of the United States of America. Americans have been abandoned in Afghanistan, BLM and Antifa have been allowed to run rampant as is witnessed by the over 500 riots during the summer of 2020, CRT is being pushed in elementary schools…

Response to Rick Simpson

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Greetings, Rick Simpson. Still no answer! The question remains the same: why do conservatives think it acceptable people like Bezos, Musk, Trump, and Soros, plus large corporations, get by with paying little to no tax, and it’s fair the rest of us pay for all the governmental programs? Once again, you have offered no answer. Apparently, conservatives think you can insult the questioner and twist and re-write the subject. Just like most conservatives in Washington who are refusing to express an opinion or reveal any facts (about the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection), and in Trump’s case his taxes….

The Great Resignation and the hourly wage

Ron Martin4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, A young adult lady in Johnson County, Kentucky was recently faithfully working her convenient store register job. She had a line of patrons buying drinks and paying for gasoline. Someone asked her how much money she made. “Nine dollars an hour,” she said. “I’ve worked here over two years and the pay has been $9 an hour. I’ve asked for a raise. I work hard. I’m here almost all the time. A manager from the chain of stores always says, ‘We are looking into it.’ I have to find another job because I can’t take care of myself…
