     The ancient idea of “Cleanliness is next to godliness” is found in Babylonian and Hebrew literary work. The phrase was first recorded in a sermon by the Methodist pastor, John Wesley, in 1778. Being clean was supposed to be a sign of spiritual purity or goodness; we sure have gotten a long way from that.

     Advocates to protect the vote have been pushing Biden and Congress to move ahead affirmatively for months. On December 21, officials in Lincoln County Georgia, a county that is nearly one-third Black, proposed closing 6 polling sites for 2022.

AOC told her more than 12.8 million followers that the GOP’s obsession with her is “starting to get old, ignoring the very obvious, strange and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, LGBT, and people in general.”    

     Going into year three of Covid-19 can cause some people to be quite anxious about when it will come close to an end. Though the chance of getting Covid-19 is still very prevalent, vaccinations and boosters, along with protective behaviors like social distancing and mask-wearing, can reduce the risk of infection and severe illness.

     Yes, it is a New Year filled with hopes, dreams, and goals. Paradoxically, as we age and find ourselves needing to take more care of our health, we might also find ourselves burnt out on the idea of New Year’s Resolutions. But most of us still want to improve your health, right?

     Terry Ann Williams Edden has been very very good in doing so as she let the voters know why she qualifies as the best person for the State Senate for district 33. In matters of morality, a trustworthy person doesn’t feel the need to dim the light of others to make their light shine.
