Honor Guard Veterans needed

The Russell County Honor Guard is in need of Veterans for funeral detail. The recent loss of several brothers has strained their numbers.

To apply, a member must present a DD-214 with honorable discharge, be willing to be shaven at the time of funerals, wear his or her uniform according to their 214, and maintain an acceptable attendance record.

This is a service that cannot be explained and is gratifying to one's heart, in the service of fellow Comrades. It is simply without description. If interested, call 270-866-2841 for an appointment.

Today is Ash Wednesday

There are two church services on Columbia Magazine events listing today. Ash Wednesday is the Wednesday six weeks before Easter Sunday, is a Christian holy day of fasting, sacrifice, and prayer.

Followers of Jesus often forgo a regular meal schedule, instead eating only one normal-sized meal and two very small ones over the course of a given 24-hour period, especially on Good Friday.

The most devout Christians are known to eat even less than that, limiting themselves to bread and water to signify their recognition of Christ’s 40-day, 40-night fast as recounted in the Gospels.
