Rejoice in the fact Jesus is the Way
The term Christian was a pejorative term that the enemies of Christ coined for His followers. According to Acts 11:26, the followers of Christ were first called Christians at Antioch. Originally, believers were called the “People of the Way” because Jesus said He was The Way. In John chapter 14, Jesus declares He is The Way to God. This statement leaves His followers with several questions. ...

WNBA ticket sales on StubHub are up 93 percent
The wave of incoming rookies such as Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso and the return of popular players A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum of the defending champion Las Vegas Aces have led to unprecedented demand for WNBA games on one of the world’s largest ticket resale platforms. StubHub announced its sales for WNBA games as of Wednesday were up 93% compared with last season. The increase followed StubHub’s record sales for the women’s NCAA Tournament and for the 2023 WNBA Finals, spokesperson Adam...
Spring palette dishes add vibrancy and flavor
I love the colors and flavors of spring. The variations of flowering hues and the bright chartreuse leaves of trees inspire me to create dishes in a spring palette. Beautiful spring vegetables such as asparagus, artichokes and peas add such fresh vibrancy and flavor to a meal. And with undertones of cool evenings still lingering a nice spring vegetable soup makes a wonderful beginning to dinner or a main course at lunch with a little crusty bread and a salad. ...
Holden Thorp shares his diagnosis and more
Holden Thorp, former chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and one of the smartest people I have ever known, made a startling announcement last week. In the April 28 edition of “Science,” the magazine he edits, he wrote: “I am autistic. I have had had my diagnosis for several years but have only come to the conclusion to be public about it over the last year.” ...
Let Eisner make the choice
It’s bewildering to me how anyone in Martin County can expect a resolution to Martin General Hospital’s dilemma while the county commissioners cannot fulfill their responsibilities and decide on a county manager. Professional providers of any stature would be amiss to commit to a longterm situation not knowing who is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the government. Would you bet the farm on a company without a CEO?...
Goldsboro: Start with yoga then enjoy brews and cues
Goldsboro is just the place in eastern North Carolina for a great experience thanks to the unique mix of Southern charm and tranquil outdoor spaces. Driving through town one might not even realize it, but there are a lot of fun things to do in Goldsboro. Some of these fun activities include spending time in the town’s thriving downtown scene, trying an upcoming craft beer and eating delicious BBQ. Goldsboro...
Williamston food truck ordinance clarified
The recent announcement that food trucks would be allowed at the Music on Main concert series and that food may possibly be served at other stage held venues has caused confusion among area businesses and residents. “Part of the confusion is the difference between a food truck and simply providing food at the location. A food truck permit is not needed if a person is bringing food to the location, such as the Community Stage, and setting up a table inside the fencing,” said Williamston...
Industrial History: W&W Truss Builders Inc.
Both of my parents grew up in Martin Co and, like many families “back in the day,” during the late forties and early fifties, times were difficult. Farming was a way of life that kept families fed and it also allowed them a way of earning a living. Families were often large, mechanized equipment like tractors were around, but just not affordable at the time; especially for small family-owned and...
On to Iowa: Odyssey of the Mind team excels
Odyssey of the Mind may be new to Martin County Schools this year, but that did not stop team members from qualifying for the 2024 OM World Games in Iowa. Odyssey of the Mind, open to elementary through high school-age children, teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. Multiple groups within the Martin County Schools teams began competing earlier this school year. ...
Topsail Island takes the 'crab cake'
The idea of a day trip to Topsail Island is both exciting and a tiny bit frustrating. The excitement is obvious — it is a wonderful place to spend a day — and the frustration is simply owing to the fact you’ll never cover all the fun things to do in Surf City, North Topsail and the other wonderful communities around the island. My family has spent so much time...
Growers can have successful peanut production
Successful production of quality peanuts requires growers to plan an effective production and marketing program and to implement that program on a timely basis during the season. Each cultural practice and marketing decision must be effectively integrated into the total farm management plan to produce optimum profits from the whole farm. A bag of seed peanuts contains thousands of potential plants. To grow a uniform stand of healthy plants, you need genetically pure seed that has been produced under a management system that maximizes seed...
