I have been in the workforce since 1976, so for about half a century.

I grew up here. People know me or my family. Everyone is friendly, but no one is actually inviting me to things. I feel lonely, which makes no sense because I’m not new here. What do I do? How do you make friends as an adult, it feels pathetic even asking this?

The late, great Elvis Presley once said, “Life is too short to drive boring cars.”  The King was a true car lover and amassed an incredible collection of over 200 vehicles. 

It is only by God’s infinite grace that more people are not injured or killed crossing streets in Cherokee, particularly at the eight crosswalks that exist in the downtown area and the ones scattered throughout Acquoni Road and Tsali Blvd.

Transparency is a byword in our society. We all seem to understand its importance, but we don’t seem to know what it is. And that is surprising.

For more than two decades, Dr. Hartwell Francis has been dedicated to the preservation of the Cherokee language, and his dedication to the Cherokee people is immense. His smiles and positivity drive his energy in language preservation and learning.  

The Psalm begins with how God knows us (ALL of us) and our every move, regardless of how small or insignificant. He also knows our thoughts. He knows where you are going, when you will rest, and all your ways of doing things

When we think of God, we often think He is there but unattached until we call upon Him. However, those who forget how close He is must be reminded that our God is mighty and powerful and always with us.
