"She knows she looks odd but she doesn’t care. And there is nobody to look at her." Photo / SuppliedProphet Songby Paul Lynch(One World, $37)Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. Photo / Supplied In a near future, Ireland has been overtaken by a Far Right party that imposes authoritarian control, beginning by targeting trade unionists, in particular those representing intellectuals and academics. The terror begins with the disappearance of those demanding better wages for teachers.

I do not like traffic, not one little bit. Of course, I don’t know many people that would say they do. Lately, traffic from Jefferson to Dacula in the mornings has been horrible. Maybe it’s the time change, construction, weather, school, summer, who knows, but it’s been bad. I can easily get frustrated in traffic. It seems like I am wasting my time and that is very unproductive for me.

Posted Wednesday, September 20, 2023 9:30 pm Jesus is our stability and the One we need to hold onto to be able to make progress in this life.” This had been an expensive week at the Johnson household. Wouldn’t you know that in the same week my vehicle and my husband’s vehicle would BOTH need new tires? It would have been nice to try and not do both in one month, but that didn’t happen. When the tread is compromised, you have to replace the tires. The tread on your tires is what makes contact...

Posted Wednesday, September 13, 2023 9:30 pm My trust is built and my faith is strengthened because I can look back on the ways my heavenly Father has taken care of me when I have been afraid.” Several months ago, one of my granddaughters came home with a questionnaire/survey she had filled out for something at school. One of the questions was “What are you afraid of?” Her answer was, “Well, basically I’m afraid of everything.” In all honesty, because she lives with me and I have been around...

Posted Wednesday, September 6, 2023 9:30 pm There is a comfort when I remember I am tethered to Jesus.” We are at the beach this week. During the same time period last year we were also fortunate to be able to head to the beach with some very dear friends. This is something that happened on our beach trip last year. Our trip had been planned for about 9 months and it came at the perfect time. I love the beach, it is my happy place for sure. Let me rephrase that. I love the beach and the...

Posted Wednesday, August 30, 2023 9:30 pm I have come to the conclusion that being tired is a physical issue and being weary is an emotional one. There are remedies for both, but they are both different.” Are you tired? I feel like I stay tired in my life. Tired as in need of sleep and rest. Maybe it’s my age but I just don’t sleep well. I wake up at least three times during the night and if I get a solid five hours of sleep I consider that a good night’s rest. I am not necessarily worried or...

Many times we look at the problems in the world and think, “What can I do? I’m just one person.” Actions are taken by individuals, and if enough people take individual action the world changes. Every great societal change has been a result of collective action. The American Revolution and the Women’s and Civil Rights Movements all started with a few and grew to many, birthing change along the way.

Posted Wednesday, August 23, 2023 9:30 pm We have to make encouragement a habit, not an afterthought. Encouraging others is a great way for us to show the love of Jesus.” I think I have said before that I take my 10-year-old granddaughter to school most mornings. On Tuesday, when she was getting in the car, I noticed three clothespins on her lunch bag. I thought it was a little odd so I asked her what they were there for. She proceeded to explain to me they have “encouragement cards” at...
