Abortion – when life begins

EDITOR: There is a lot of confusion about when life begins. Some think it begins with conception, others when the heart starts beating, others when the baby’s head pops out. There is one who knows the answer - the God of creation! He is the one we ought to go to for the answer, which he provides in His Bible. In Ephesians 1:3 God says that he knew us from before creation, thousands of years before. In Jeremiah 1:4 God tells Jeremiah that He knew him before Jeremiah was even conceived and in his mother’s belly. Thousands of years before each of us was born, God had us solidly in ...

Remember when?

EDITOR: Remember when? Back in the day, we could go to McDonalds, Burger King, Hardees, Wendy’s and KFC and sit down inside and eat. If you were a late night person, or needed something for a sick loved one or just liked shopping at night, you could go to Elmer’s, Walmart or Meijer because they were open 24 hours.

There was a time, way back in the old days of 2019 when you could go into ...

Rights of the individual

Isn’t there enough killing and bloodshed in the world already? Why are we not teaching our children a love and respect for all life especially where we live, in the great U.P. of Michigan called “God’s Country”? Please refrain from publishing the sickening slaughter of our wildlife. Live and let live. Diana Peach Cedar River

Call to Stabenow

EDITOR: I called our Congressional representatives, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, on September 20th. Left a message and did not receive a call-back. I called Stabenow’s local office in Marquette yesterday. Someone answered, which shocked me. I explained I wanted to talk to someone on some issues I was concerned about, such as illegal southern boarder crossings, infrastructure bill, debt ceiling, monitoring banking information, COVID vaccine mandates, and other issues. I asked how she felt about these issues, and how she was going to vote. The man who answered was rude from the ...
