G. Crump: How I discovered Columbia . . . when Columbus didn't


"For five years during WWII, townslarge and smallturned off street lightsand covered windows with heavy dark blinds to hide the inside lights so enemy bombers could not use town lights to navigate to a target. But now Columbia had lights,playing boldly through tree limbs, winking back at the young boy eager to get on with his life. I kept returning to the lights of downtown, as if they were lighting my pathwayin life. The longer I looked at them, the more hynotic they became and the more glorious Columbia seemed."

Some days are meant to be memorable.

The others shouldn't count against our lifetime. I don't remember who expressed that idea first, but I have made it my own.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Cumberland, Sweet William, and more


ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor
HOW WILL YOUR NAME BE REMEMBERED?

By Rev. Joey N. Welsh

How often do people in our age take the long view of life decisions and their consequences? How often do we look beyond our current needs, or even our current desires and cravings? I fear the answer is that many people give little heed to what the immediate costs of their decisions might be, let alone how the consequences can continue to echo even beyond the bounds of their mortal lives.

Coming May 1, 2007: "GIVING THANKS WHILE MAKING NOTE OF TWO SHORT WEEKSBACK IN 1945," by Rev. Joey N. Welsh
Every time I read a tragic story of personal or family destruction related to addiction to methamphetamines or Oxycontin, I wonder how the folks involved could ever have imagined that chapter in their lives ending happily. And when I read about people blown to bits in meth lab explosions, I wonder if they ever thought about the name they would leave behind for any kids lucky enough to survive the trauma.
