Opinion
Still hearing those words,
'Son, you're gonna be a fine preacher someday!'
By DAVID EPPS
Pastor
George
Thompson was 76 years old when I first met him over
25 years ago. I was only 23 and had just been
assigned as a part-time student pastor to N. G.
Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church in Carter
County, Tennessee. The church was over 100 years old
and, until I arrived, had been the lesser church on a
two-church circuit for as long as anybody could
remember. Mr. Thompson was one of about 30 faithful
members that called Taylor Church their spiritual
home.
Letter to
the Editor
Let Home Depot know how you
feel about development
The prevailing theme in the Oct.

“responsible development.” The
standing-room-only crowd left the meeting with the
feeling that this newly revised Planning Commission
is devoted to the public good in accordance with
Peachtree City's high standards.
