ANOTHER VIEW: Giving Albert’s loved ones a sense of calm

By Tommy Purser  |  We said our last goodbyes to the good wife’s brother this week. It was a sad time but not an unexpected time. We knew it was coming. Dementia …. Alzheimer’s …. whatever it was — there are few things pleasant about the condition.

FOCUS: Editor gets discouraged at courthouse Day of Prayer event

By Tommy Purser, editor and publisher, Jeff Davis (Co.) Ledger | Several years ago, I made the decision to stop going to the Day of Prayer event held each year at the courthouse. I haven’t been in several years because I don’t feel welcome there.

What caused my feelings took three years to develop. At the very first Day of Prayer event, I went to take photos and participate in a time set aside to pray for our government, our leaders, our country, our schools, our county and city, etc. And, by the way, also for the media.
