The homecoming committee is doing a great job, and Rotary wanted to help in any way they could to make it a success.

Big Sandy Theater’s production of The Big Sandy by Mike Hesford will be performed during homecoming weekend, Friday June 20th at 6 PM and Saturday June 21st at 3 PM.

The play describes itself as a story that is “only like 10% true” and provides an opportunity to laugh a little at the famous event from February 2, 1970. I visited with Gary Foust, the pilot...

School is out for the year, so that means it’s “summer,” which also means it’s SWIM SEASON! This past weekend, the Big Sandy Barracuda swim team had a meet in Shelby. Only six swimmers went out of 24, but they did great! It was a busy weekend for the team members. This year, for swim meet results, I will list every swimmer individually who qualified for the finals and the races they participated in. If the swimmer DOES NOT advance to finals, you will not see their name in the article, meaning I will not be writing up the preliminary...
In Men’s Bible Study today, the text we discussed was from Romans 8, where Paul talks about the hardships he faces in the work he is doing preaching the gospel all over the world. For context regarding the hardships he is referring to, he elsewhere lists some of those hardships: going without food, clothes, in danger from bandits and enemies, shipwrecked (spending a night and day on the open sea!), and more. On top of that, there were multiple whippings, beatings with rods, other instances of torture, and even a failed attempt at execution...
