Our World has Changed in 28 Days
Our world has changed since I returned home to South Carolina, Monday March 2, 2020. 28 days ago, our economy was booming. 28 days ago, unemployment rates were at historic lows especially for the African American and Hispanic American communities. Today, they are higher than we faced during the Great Depression, and our economy faces an unknown future as we fight an enemy we cannot see, the COVID-19 virus.

Grateful for the Opportunity to Serve Edgefield County
I want to tell you how grateful I am for the opportunity I have had to serve Edgefield County, in various roles, for what will end up being close to 8 years. You may or may not know, that while my family has a history in Edgefield County which dates back to the 1800’s, prior […]

Rural Broadband
Like me, you may have heard it said that trying to bring Broadband Internet capabilities to rural areas like Edgefield County in the early part of the 21st century is similar in the effort our grandparents had in bringing electricity to rural areas in the early part of the 20th century. You are probably also […]

Three Books
Posted on 01 March 2019
I have been contemplating whether to continue my weekly editorial due to time constraints. Last week I received some encouragement I hadn’t expected. I won’t mention the individual by name, but I am sure he will know I am speaking about him, when he reads this. Last week I was at a statewide meeting in […] Continue Reading

Notrė Dame Revisited
Posted on 13 May 2019
My March 29th, 2018 editorial to the Edgefield Advertiser was about Notrė-Dame, how it was crumbling from within, and in my opinion was a potential symbol of the church at large. Rather than re-printing last years editorial, I would encourage you to read the online version: http://www.edgefieldadvertiser.com/2018/03/notre-dame-at-risk-potential-symbolism/, prior to continuing with this weeks. Monday April […] Continue Reading

Thoughts on Labor Day!
Posted on 10 September 2018
Candidly, I am torn about writing this week. We just celebrated Labor Day Weekend. From Wikipedia: “Labor Day in the United States of America is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws, and well-being of the country. It is the Monday of […] Continue Reading

More on the Holocaust & Another Action Item
Posted on 23 April 2018
Last week I shared my personal experience of holding back vomit when I toured the Nazi Concentration Camp Dachau twice during the 1980’s. I wrote about today’s trend of American millennials and even their parents not having a solid grasp of history as it relates to the horrific acts and statistics surrounding the holocaust in […] Continue Reading

Will You Grieve with Me, and then Act?
Posted on 18 April 2018
I am on a journey. The year is 1986. I am half way through the privilege of living in and touring Europe for two years, ages 16 to 18. I had already spent a fair amount of time in Bavaria, a region in modern unified Germany, dating to 555 A.D. This journey during the summer […] Continue Reading
