It was a play that will be remembered! It was a musical in Big Sandy! It was a comedy with a number of fun music parts. In my opinion, the sarcasm about politicians was front and center. The play was two and a half hours long but entertaining in every 17 scenes. The amount of work they went through had to be immense. There were 41 members of the cast and 12 members of the crew, including four directors: Amanda Hoffman, Dianna Keane, Michelle Danreuther, and Stephanie Drga. It all takes place at...
Palm Sunday and Easter will be taking place the next two Sundays, prompting people all over the world to join the Christians who have been remembering/celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus. Last week, I started a series exploring the veracity of the historical claims regarding the events we are celebrating. My primary focus in that article was whether or not there was any evidence that supports the claims that Jesus rose from the dead. My article zoomed in on the many surviving eyewitness accounts and offered some context for them in...

Big Sandy Methodist would like to invite everyone to come to a movie club at the church. We have a large screen TV, on which we wish to show movies we believe people can enjoy together and then discuss afterwards. In fact, kind of a book club with no books! The first series to be offered is " The Chosen". This is a captivating drama about the life of Jesus Christ. Some have commented it can be watched at home. However, we feel your viewing and participation of such a film is made more valuable when viewing with others. This gives you a chance...

Gardening season is upon us. For some it is a way to cut down on the grocery bill, for other it is a way to test their survival skills, others it is just who they are (those people can be spotted by looking at their nails for a dirt manicure for half the year). I do not think that I am qualified for even a novice gardener class at this stage in my life, but here is what I have learned so far from my feeble attempts at a vegetable garden the last 6 years. Good gardens begin with good soil. We like to compost at our house. We keep a 5 gallon...

We know very little about the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations). What most people have heard about it is the NFHS Network, where they live stream events at high schools (and at the junior high level, too). The NFHS owns the NFHS Network, but first, we are going to do a little background history on who and what the NFHS is. I am hoping to turn this into a three-part series over the next few weeks. This part of the series will be about how it got started and the multiple different facets that come with NFHS. Several...
