Local man tells his story of struggle
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Woodcock_HouseDarrell Woodcock, local businessman, financial planner, entrepreneur and survivor, has quite a tale to tell -- beginning with his grass roots in Glasgow, Ky. all the way to his current residence in Hendersonville. Woodcock began his journey in a small rural town. I’m not talking about a journey of sightseeing or vacationing, but a rare and unique journey that transformed a young boy’s life – a journey about a young man and how life’s experiences made him the man he is today. Woodcock shared his journey with me in hopes of making a difference in the lives of young people who may be struggling with some of the same, unfortunate, but survivable, circumstances in their lives.

Do it now

James 4:14 - Whereas you know not what shall be tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

Once again, life has proven the truth of this scripture to me. My family and I have suffered a great loss this past weekend with the sudden passing of my uncle, Del Newman. While 74 may seem an old man to young folks, it doesn’t seem very old at all to me. Sunday a week ago, my uncle led singing at our church. This past Sunday, he lay in rest at nearly the exact spot he sang from a week earlier. Our lives Friday morning were about the same as they had been for a while. Saturday morning, our lives had changed forever.

Adopt_bosley2

 

This big baby is about a year old. Bosley is a boxer mix and he's very sweet and loves to play and just be around people. He is an active dog and will need plenty of walks or a back yard to play. He does need to be mainly inside because he does love attention so much and during the summer time he will get hot very easy. Hope you can give the forever home Bosley needs and deserves. For information regarding adoption requirements please visit SumnerHumane.org, come by 16 Volunteer Drive in Hendersonville, or call 822-0061.

Celebrate Volstate
Thursday, February 9, 2012

I’ve been following the selection process for the next president of Volunteer State Community College rather closely.  Not just because it’s a newsworthy process, which it is, and not just because of my curiosity. It’s far more important than either of those things.

The people charged with putting forth the candidates, and the people who will actually make the final decision, have a strong obligation to the people of not just Sumner County, but to this entire region, to do a good job.  They are obligated to all of us to do the proper homework, ask all the hard questions, and come to the right decision.
