BRACK: Recalling an early memory of a favorite Gospel song in church

One of my earlier recollections came when about age 4-5-6, when going to church with my parents. It was at Walnut Creek Baptist Church, still a vibrant congregation near Allentown, Ga.

For some reason, at that young age, my favorite hymn was No. 70. Now what the name of that song was, I just don’t remember. But it might have been “I Feel Like Traveling On.”  You remember the lyrics.

BRACK: Bridge over I-16 to be named for fallen firefighter from Gwinnett

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Many of us do not recognize how many government services we have. For instance, when motorists are driving down Interstate 16 toward Savannah, south of Macon you see a sign for the town of Allentown. Motorists along about a 20-mile section of this interstate are under the protection of the Allentown Volunteer Fire Department. The department often makes emergency runs — about 16 percent of its calls — for accidents or auto fires on the Interstate.
