OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: My most unpopular commentaries
Even in the heat of the final days of an election that will determine who sits in the most powerful seats of tribal government, and referendum questions that will determine one of the most hotly-debated issues on the Qualla Boundary, any push to get out the vote is met with a collective yawn.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: It takes Holy Spirit boldness, courage, and confidence
Read Acts 4:23-31; Proverbs 21:2-3, Ephesians 3:12, Proverbs 28:1, Matthew 29:16.
COMMENTARY: Where the water ran
“That really hit close to home.” You hear that every time a tragedy strikes a person or a community. Maybe it is a family member. Maybe a next-door neighbor. It could be a metaphoric statement, saying that you relate to what folks are going through. In some cases, it is literal.
