Praise and celebration continue for life of Abby Lou Smith 2017-04-23 - Columbia, KY - Photo from the family collection. A mighty praise and dedication service was held Easter Sunday when Abby Lou Smith, pictured here with her trademark smile in her sweet little glasses, was "presented to our Savior through infant Baptism," surrounded by her family and congregation of Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church prayer warriors. And the praise continues every second of every day. From her "much too early birth" to her present day, as she continues growing from baby stage into toddlerhood. Her parents and grandparents shared their walk and the bible verses that helped them hang onto their faith through the darkest moments. Clicking 'read more' takes you to the story and more photos underneath it. Any family who has experienced anything close to having a child's life threatened -- as ours did -- will find their testimony heartening and helpful to keeping the faith. -- Linda Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Raising Churchill 2017-04-23 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen. With both of her big brothers out of town for the weekend, Hailey Waggener quickly made some big changes to the care and feeding of Churchill the puppy. Frequent walks were interspersed with a new diet of dandelions and violet leaves on a bed of handpicked Bermuda and crab grasses. The dog--who has a strong preference for shoes, sticks, and squeaky toys-- dutifully chewed a handful of clippings before turning up his nose at the new food offerings. Hailey demanded an apology, and then she placed him in puppy timeout, which lasted for at least 30 seconds before leash training resumed. - PW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Downtown Columbia, KY: Red, White & Blue - mostly red here 2017-04-23 - Adair Judicial Center, 201 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). There is beauty one can only see when walking Columbia. This scene was captured from the Reed Street front ramp at City Hall, before the special meeting of City Council, Thu 22 Apr 2017 - one of the shortest on record, but one which completed a significant, essential step toward developing Jim Blair Park. The process is overly complicated with Adair County's currently outmoded governance. But there is park progress, despite having so many overlapping governmental units. Now, with the City acknowledging the need to make Columbia healthier by being more walkable, there is great optimism that the community will reap the economic development and tourism rewards, and health benefits a more walkable downtown campus will bring. - EW.
