Bob Knight is an idiot.

Sorry to be so straight-forward and crass, but there is no other way to put it.

Bob Knight is an idiot.

The former Indiana University and Texas Tech basketball coach recently continued his seemingly annual war of words against the University of Kentucky.

A couple years ago, Knight spoke at an event where he criticized UK Coach John Calipari when arguing that there was no more integrity in college basketball.

In the song, ‘Amazing Grace’, the words ‘I once was lost, but now I am found,’ speaks volumes to me now.

I recently became a member of my fiancé’s church, Asbury United Methodist Church in Highland Heights.

The road to that moment was a long path in my Christian life.

I was baptized Lutheran in October 1985 at St. John’s in Aurora, Ind. This church was a part of my family with my Grandma Warren and my immediate family all being members.

I’m fortunate enough to not have any friends or family members whose lives have  been wrecked by meth.
Like most, I only knew about the drug from reading story after story about statistics of how big a problem it is in Kentucky.
My only first-hand experience was going to take photos of a couple meth lab cleanups, as men in Haz-Mat suits collected the remnants of what was a working lab right in the middle of an apartment complex.

I may have the best job in the world, because I get to go on a treasure hunt, and I’ve already started. What I’ve found so far has been priceless.
As part of an ongoing series, we will be presenting Grant County’s Living Treasures.
Recently, I sat down with Anna Mary Gordon who turned 100 on March 19. I was humbled to be entrusted with her story.
She prospered by hard work, creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit in a time when it was difficult just to do the daily chores required to function and to get from one place to another.
