High school sports means a lot to people in small towns, big cities and everywhere in between across the country.
It is a big deal to those who follow it, and everyone wants to see their respective high school team be successful. But sometimes it doesn’t always work out that way.

For God’s Sake
If you were to describe prayer to someone who knew nothing about it, how would you describe it? You might say, “Prayer is talking to God,” and, indeed, it is. Talking to God in prayer is the privilege of those who are God’s children in Christ Jesus.

AT&T strike is flying under the radar, until your internet stops working
Is your internet working?
Although it’s gone a bit under the radar as far as major labor strikes go, the Communication Workers of America remain on strike against AT&T.

It seems this county is often all feasibility studies and surveys and no real action.
Perhaps this time will be different. Perhaps this time we will finally get the public outdoor pool Santa Rosa County so desperately needs, and that honestly, should have been a reality a long time ago.

For God’s Sake: Faith in Christ
If you were to drive by my home, you would see a brown paper lunch bag hanging from the ceiling of the front porch. No, this is not part of my hurricane preparedness, nor is it a declaration of solidarity with those who “brown-bag-it” for lunch every day. The lunch bag, stuffed with paper, is there to discourage wasps from building nests. Apparently, it is close enough in appearance to a wasp’s nest that other wasps decide to build elsewhere.

There’s nothing more humbling than a political election.
All serious candidates go into the Election Day feeling confident that they are going to win. Months of knocking on doors, raising money, and asking friends, family, church members, co-workers, acquaintances, etc. for their vote all comes to a head when everyone goes to the polls.

Legal sports betting
This will be the first year where Florida residents are legally – and I stress legally (meaning not using offshore sports books) – allowed to bet on the entire college football and NFL seasons.

Anyone who has read my columns in the past knows I’m not the biggest fan of the Florida High School Athletic Association.
I’ve been critical. A lot. But when it comes to the FHSAA being at fault for the chaos that has ensued with high school athletes transferring, you are looking in the wrong direction. Look over to Tallahassee instead.

Milton needs to fix its hiring process for city managers
Over the course of life – but especially in childhood – we all make mistakes that we learn from and know never to do again.
