Burnt Hickory Baptist Church invites the community to escape the stress of holiday shopping and festivities and come take a stroll through the past at Journey Through Bethlehem. The church is presenting a live historical village set at the time of Jesus’ birth. Guests will enter the church building through a 3,200 square foot white tent, where they will be greeted by people dressed as Roman soldiers and shopkeepers. Guests will be given a cup of hot cider or hot chocolate and will also receive a replica coin to pay the "tax Collector." Guests will proceed inside the church building to tour the rest of the village. After the village tour, guests enter the worship center to see performances from Burnt Hickory's choirs, the praise band, orchestra and Soul to Sole Dance Ministry. There will be four performances Friday, Saturday and Sunday December 7th-9th. The village will be open nightly from 6:00 pm -7:15 pm. A dramatic and musical program, including a live Nativity Scene follows at 7:15 pm. A special matinee performance will be held on Saturday at 2:00 pm with the program beginning at 3:15 pm. This event is free and open to the public and will take place rain or shine inside.

Sun Valley Beach. Buy it now, before it's in the MLS. It's a deal. Selling for less than land value.…Read More Appraised for 3.3 million in 2009 (see attached exhibit). The Park was foreclosed last year and has been closed during the 2012 season. 33.78 Acres located in West Cobb County. Has been opened as an amusment center & water park since 1964 (see Park History attached). Zoning is mostly commercial with some R-15. All utilities including sewer on site along with over 20 buildings, 1.5 acre pool, including 2,100 sq. ft. office, several pavillons up to 5,300 & 4,200 sq. ft., baseball fields, putt putt golf or go-cart tract, etc.Utilities are being turned back on.

Big chain restaurants like Applebees, Red Lobster, and Hooters don't bring money to a town. They…Read More bring (dead-end minimum-wage) jobs, and the profits get funneled elsewhere.
It is interesting, though, that there is only one full service restaurant that I'm aware of in the city limits - La Parilla further up Marietta St from the square. (I'm using the industry definition of a full-service restaurant: a sit-down restaurant, serving at least two meals six days per week, with a beer/wine license) I'm not in that business, so I really don't understand the conditions that would create a situation like that, but it is interesting to note.

I am not necessarily speaking about the jobs it will bring in jon, however, there are a lot of…Read More people in powder springs that will be thrilled with those "dead-end minimum wage" jobs. The fact is these restaurants draw people into town and those people in turn be exposed to businesses in powder springs. Ask yourself, if you and your family wanted to eat out or go shopping, where would you go? The answer would be hiram or austell rd. (east-west connector). Think about how many people from powder springs alone are drawn to these areas. Customer traffic, that's what these businesses bring, which in turn brings customers, that's the bottom line.

Joel, the speech in front of the Woodrow Wilson Center is even more ironic and scary. Wilson was a…Read More scary president because he jailed his political opponents for opposing the war after campaigning to keep us out of WWI. Also, his hatred of black Americans showed no humanity even after blacks voted overwhelmingly for him.

Pam J,
Please don' t assume that Verizon is the only company.....it is everyone of them. Verizon…Read More is the only one we have been told about. :(

And yet there has to be something that made you develop that opinion. I'm fascinated to hear what…Read More makes someone develop a personal belief that is so utterly reductive.
The "anecodotal (sic) and opinion evidence (whatever that is...)" that created my belief is informed by empathy, compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness. What have you got?
Christopher Straub June 13, 2013 at 09:08 pm
Might recheck history; this nation was founded on religious freedom. You write as if you have…Read More disdain for other faiths, such as the one Jesus was a part of - you might remember, it was Judaism. Thought that was in the Bible - all the iterations, even the politically re-written versions.

Most people don't know that the Trident originally had no eagle on it until the Navy made it an…Read More exclusive Seal emblem... as a UDT member from the EOD side it pi$$ed a lot of us off that it was taken away. Seals had buds, basic underwater demolition and we had studs, strategic tactics underwater demolition. Anyway, we should have a cup of coffee, I bet we swam some of the same waters. Nihil Obstat, brother..

Our youth are engaging in acts before their minds and bodies are ready for the acts.

@KJL: My have three children. It never ceased to amaze me the stories they would tell about friends…Read More having oral sex because "that isn't sex"- and about how young the friends were when they started. If information will help us to combat this problem then, yes, we should obtain it. For parents who think this will lead to your children thinking they are abnormal, think again. The fact that their friends are and they aren't already makes them feel that way. And if you think that this battle can be handled in the home, it should- and on every other front we can find.

Frankly, I don't believe anyone NEEDS or has the RIGHT to expect a Bible or any religious book at a…Read More state park. I go to enjoy the outdoors. Anyone who wants to bring their own religious text is free to do so. It is not right for the state parks to give the impression that they are in favor of certain religions and beliefs and not others.

that book also explicitly states: "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a…Read More SODOMITE of the sons of Israel," -Deuteronomy 23:17

Stephen: Just because a text explicitly states something does that mean there is only one meaning…Read More and interpretation of that verse or biblical text? For example the one you quoted have many different interpretations and meanings, most of which do not even indirectly relate to homosexuality.
On another note...you seem to be a student of the Bible and ancient texts, as well as someone who is versed in many subjects. We have small group discussions on some of these topics, sometimes at my home, other friends' homes, and sometimes at coffee shops or other public places. And I often seek out those whose opinions or understandings may be different than mine to participate--not to debate whose opinion is right (though certainly some of that takes place) but to learn from each other and try to find some commonalities. If you think you might like to participate sometime feel free to contact me directly at pilgrim1@mindspring.com (and this goes for other bloggers too).

Look for all you obama supporters y'all need to shut up. There was a ton of evidence, speculation…Read More and everything else showing this president and his administration were and are as crookex as a dogs hind leg. Y'all idiots voted him back in at least that what they say I'm still not sure it wasn't a rigged election you know the kinds they have in russia? If there was a picture of president obama snortin coke off the oval office desk and a whore under each arm and him toasting the leader of iran y'all would still worship this creep.
