Call
me anything just call me for supper
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
People who have
cast their eyes on this space only on an occasional basis often accuse
me of being a Republican.
Crime
and punishment
By
BILLY MURPHEY
Laugh Lines
Decades before the
invention of the cell phone, the electronic remote control or the "staged,
real-life drama," I was a naive sixth grader. Sixth grade was still
part of elementary school back then.
New
believers who join the Church as adults face unique challenges
By
DEBBIE DUNCAN
Instead
of growing up in the faith I became a Christian as an adult. There is
so much that is confusing to a new Christian joining a church, that
I wanted to share the experiences I have had there, in hopes it will
make the path smoother for other adults who come to accept Jesus late
in life.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
A
message to the ones who took Mac's bench
The last Wednesday
before Thanksgiving was a typical day for most of the members of the
Peachtree City Church of Christ. The work day had ended, and a quick
meal had been prepared and enjoyed by most of their number, and they
were now on the way to the Wednesday night worship service. This seemed
to be just a normal Wednesday evening, that is, until they reached the
building.
Mayor's
tax proposal was wrong solution for PTC's west side problems
The current controversial
issues on Mayor Steve Brown's agenda in Peachtree City are the LCI and
CID. For those of us unfamiliar with the abbreviations, they are Living
Centers Initiative and Community Improvement District.
Brown
created current PTC climate of political sniping
I just finished
reading Mayor Steve Brown's State of the City address posted on the
city website. There are so many different things to say about this presentation
it is difficult to limit my comments. I will say that I wrote my first
letter to the editor a year ago in response to then-Mayor Bob Lenox's
version of the time.
5
weeks off within 2 months is overdoing it
I think that starting
schools before Labor Day is a very stupid thing to do. I work at a Boy
Scout summer camp in the Thomaston, Ga., area. It had seven sessions
this past summer, out of the original nine it was supposed to have.
Adopt
Calendar 1 to help kids' learning, family time
Let's adopt a school
calendar that makes educational sense for everyone.
County
tries to shut down rescue service
I am writing this
letter in hopes to bring attention to a very devastating matter occurring
in Fayette County. I am a new resident and one reason I moved to Fayette
County was because I thought the local government was fair to all citizens.
I have since learned this is not always the case.
Seniors
not well served at Fayette Senior Services
I've been living
in Fayette County since 1986, moving from Clayton County. I couldn't
believe the differences in Fayette County compared to Clayton and the
manner in which appeals, especially for transportation, are swept under
the carpet!
Mormon
doctrine unlike familiar Christian beliefs
Your recent article
in The Citizen ["Olympic spotlight illuminates Mormon faith,"
March 6] invites some comment and correction.
Latter-day
Saints not forthright about beliefs
I'm intrigued by
the front that the Mormon Church presents to those who are not members.
They are hoping that because they were such good hosts in Salt Lake
City that we will welcome the missionaries into our homes the next time
they show up on our doorsteps.
Mormon
insider has disturbing view of real beliefs
This was a very
one-sided article. I have been a member of the Mormon church all my
life, and over the course of many years some of its teachings caused
me to question it. But as a religion that encourages its members to
exercise blind faith in their leaders, my questions were answered with
a quote from one of the apostles, "When the prophet has spoken,
the thinking has been done."
Readers
from all over e-mail thanks for story
Story presented
facts, not opinions
Some
corrections about doctrines ...
Thank you for the
article "Olympic spotlight illuminates Mormon faith" in the
March 6 edition of The Citizen. I found it most interesting and have
never until today read anything in your "paper" be it electronic
or otherwise. I only found one item which was not entirely accurate.
A
little matter of spelling, usage ...
Thank you for the
accurate and unbiased report. The correct name of the church is "The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (beginning with a
capital "T" and special note to the "Latter-day"
portion).
