  • Jolly looking to grow Crittenden Christian

    Shayanna Jolly wasn’t always sure she wanted to be a pastor.
    “I was originally a drama major,” said the Transylvania University graduate. “I didn’t really want to be an actor, but I loved the arts and I wanted to be involved in non-profits in someway. Then, about the third year during my college experience, I got very involved in a church in Lexington called Central Christian Church. I started leading youth group programs there and getting really involved in the ministry.”

  • Best gift is forgiveness

    Well? Did you do it? Did you have a Merry Christmas? Did Santa bring you everything you wanted? Did you spend lots of time with loved ones? Did you eat too much? Most importantly, did you take time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas? Did you ask yourself, “What’s the greatest gift I got this year?” I hope that you did. If not, why not do it now?

  • Follow your instinct

    If there was anything that I came to understand more profoundly this year it would have to be the power of instinct: mine, our animals and the forces of ideologies of which I agree and disagree.  I reread my year end column from 2011 which reminded me of where I was 12 months ago; it helps me better appreciate where I am today.  It seems we didn’t do too badly, after all, and it’s all because both Andy and I recognize the power of instinct.

  • Starlings flock

    Last Sunday I felt like I was under siege!  There were starlings everywhere; so much so that I feared being splattered with poop at every turn.  The surprising thing about starlings is that they are everywhere yet not from here.  It’s another story of one good intention going bad. Apparently back in 1890, in honor of a Shakespeare festival in New York City’s Central Park, 60 European starlings were released.  The following year another 40 were released and today the bird is one of the most numerous species in North America.
