Hohenwald has fast become one of the major bike ride capitals in the South with three or four large bike rides every year, each one raising money for the local community. The last ride of this year comes this Saturday with Jonesy's Toy Ride. This ride has been such a success over the past few years that it is hopeful this ride could continue for many years to come. But the first person to say "But it isn't all me" would be Rick Jones himself. There are many people behind the Jonesy's Toy Ride...

The Sunday afternoon march named "Enough is Enough" here in Hohenwald from Blondy Church down Swan Avenue across the 48 junction around the Court House to the City Parking Lot was a great success for all concerned, especially the coalition of local churches who actually made it happen.

By Mike Christen The Daily Herald When Carolyn Duncan and her daughter Brooke Duncan missed being a part of community, they opened their own neighborhood library. Due to the coronavirus and the health conditions that make them vulnerable to the virus, the two have remained confined within the walls of their home in a Columbia subdivision. Unable to attend church and take part in other community gatherings, the situation led the two to establishing a sense of community from a distance. Offering...
Well it is a beautiful cold morning here in our little valley. The cats have had their breakfast and a little warm milk and are now back in their beds. I am having my cup of hot coffee, I have got a good warm fire going in the old wood heating stove. I sure enjoy these cold winter mornings. I know it is still fall but it sure feels like an early winter morning. We got a little more of our Christmas decorations up. I love this time of year. I have got my turkey for Thanksgiving. There is some talk that we might not be able to get one because of...

We know that as we near the Thanksgiving holiday time of the year that it could be colder and even with some frozen precipitation. We will take what we get and be glad we are alive and can handle the things that come our way. Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: G.Y. Bennett, Connie Bonner, L.C. Bowen, Dorothy...

Where do you reside on the “holier than thou” versus “holeyer than thou” spectrum? I make only passing reference to squabbles over “proper” church attire in my 2020 motivational book “Yes, Your Butt Still Belongs in Church” (still available in paperback and Kindle formats on Amazon), but the subject is indeed divisive. Between the judgmental churchgoers who second-guess the wardrobe choices of fellow worshippers and the slightly paranoid parishioners who ASSUME they’re under a microscope, uneas...
