Having an audience: It
often matters more than we realize at the time
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
I was
complaining to my wife about my lack of time and
bemoaning the fact that I had to attend a
denominational meeting. The lack of time is due to my
taking several seminary courses in order to finish a
master's degree program that I began a zillion years
ago. During the spring, I traveled to Springfield,
Mo., for a week of courses, followed by a course in
Lakeland, Fla. This fall I took another course in
Lakeland and, recently, I was involved in yet another
course in Philadelphia.
LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
'Big boxes' threaten PTC
quality of life
If someone should ask you how
things are going in Peachtree City, tell them that we
are being “saturated” and
“cannibalized.” You can explain to them
that those terms are retail jargon used by the
“big box” stores like Home Depot and
Wal-Mart that are coming to Peachtree City.
PTC citizens must turn out
to stop 'big boxes'
Monday, Nov. 22, could be a
turning point in our city's future. On that evening
at 7 p.m. at City Hall, the Peachtree City Planning
Commission will meet to review the site plan for the
Home Depot store which is planned for Ga. Highway 54,
just west of the ga. Highway 74 intersection.
