The Monday meetings of the Bladen County Board of Commissioners and Elizabethtown City Council were news worthy for sure…..BladenOnline was there to cover it all….

The purchase of a new fire truck, approval of a Special Use Permit for a new Bladen County courthouse, a Special Use Permit for Taylor MFG and a visit from the East Bladen High School football team and more at city council meeting…see our new article…

At the Bladen County Commissioner meeting, more info on progress of new jail including the appointment of jail committee, a new industry coming to Bladenboro, an update on revaluation…and several recent retirees were recognized…..again, BladenOnline covered it all…

I can appreciate the 4 seasons of the year..but when the temps reach the teens and low 20’s in the winter and 90’s in the summertime…I look for more comfortable surroundings….Cold temps are just hours away…if the weather folks are on target…

How are you doing with New Year resolutions?  I am going great..made none..

What is at the top of your wish list of things to do, places to go or who would you like to meet?.

I have had this thought “rolling around in my thought process”…If you continue to do what you have always done, the way you have always done it, why would you expect different results?.

Keep thinking about all the needs in the area….One has to do the issue of funding school facilities…With less than 5,000 students, and the numbers dropping, how many schools are needed?  Maybe fewer schools in the 4th largest county in the state, means much more travel…No different than what is going on for many now traveling to other type schools in the region.

There is a certain freedom in having nothing left to lose…

The time to ensure that the toilet works is before you really need it.

God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
