Home Country: Like Taking A Dry Bath In Paradise
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
The evening was one of those that come back to you time after time, year after long year. It comes back and whispers of how good life can be when you’re well fed, enjoying life, and a good friend shares the front porch with you on a summer’s evening.
It was that way with Doc and Steve the other night. Doc thought he might have to do a scientific paper on the soporific effects of ice tea, fried chicken, and corn on the cob. As long as it didn’t take any effort.
So when this huge meal had been bull-snaked down, the two grinning friends came out to the porch to watch the sun go down behind Read More

Fr. Glenn: When Giving Harms
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, our young people go back to school this week.
Just remember, young ones, what it says in the book of Sirach … verbalizing the sentiment of all who love and care for you … wisdom gained from many years of life’s experience which you as of yet lack but will come through the bumps and bruises you’ll inevitably experience:
“My [child], from your youth choose instruction, and until you are old you will keep finding wisdom… For in her service you will toil a little while, and soon you will eat of her produce. She seems very harsh to the uninstructed; a weakling will not remain with her… Read More
