Opinion
Just
preaching: Verily, verily
By
DAVID EPPS
Pastor
I was at the Georgia
Baptist Assembly in Toccoa, Georgia a few years back attending a week-long
"Camp Farthest Out," CFO for short, which is basically a week-long
Christian family summer camp. Although originally populated mostly by
Episcopalians, CFO has become much more interdenominational in recent
years. I was either there because it was the year I was the camp's worship
leader or because it was the year that my wife was one of the keynote
speakers and I was allowed to tag along because she needed a chauffeur
and butler. In any event, it's a week packed with activities for every
age group, prayer times, teachings, fun, and good speakers.
Just

By

Fayette County Fire & Emergency Services
I
am a simple man; just ask The Wife. Being simple, I have but simple
needs. I want food when I'm hungry, water when I'm thirsty, and after
a long day of riding my fire truck putting out fires, rescuing damsels
in distress and getting cats out of trees, I want to take a shower and
rest.
