I’d rather run 20 miles to get out of a dispute than half-a-mile to get into one. Conflict comes to all of us and your response to it determines its value in terms of the lesson learned. There once was a man who stole the life-savings of a number of retired people. He posed as […]
In 2009, the United States Census Bureau reported over 24 million children lived apart from their biological father. This figure represented 33 percent of America’s children at the time; up from 11 percent in 1960. Whatever may have caused the separation of children from their father, a developing child needs the love, companionship, and time […]
Sorting through my college class schedule for my freshmen year in college wasn’t without help. I had been waiting in line for my appointment, when I heard the office assistant call my name, “Ok, Mr. Dobson, you’re next.” I was curious about my choice of classes and had been getting “the scoop” from the other […]

GUEST COLUMNIST: Anna Marie Dobson Recently both of my brother’s phones were stolen. But why? What did they ever do to deserve having their phones stolen? Sunday afternoon I was getting out of my car to go to work and my nice large cup of Zaxbys sweet tea spilt over my dress and all […]
I firmly believe that religion holds the answers to the sorrow and grief that comes to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. This situation is possibly the most shattering experience a person will ever have to face. The emotional and rational thought in our minds is there’s not much we can […]
There once was a young man who grew up going to church because his parents were faithful to go. Understanding his own need for a relationship with God he committed his life to Christ at 10 years-old. As the years past he grew increasingly attracted to the world and all the temptations to live it […]
