The Anderson County Legislative Delegation will have a sub committee hearing concerning the Anderson County Fire Commission. The meeting is open to the public. It will be at the Anderson County Library on Wednesday, September 18th, at 6:30-8:30.

There have been some differences of opinion of operation practices between members of the delegation, the fire commission, taxpayers, and the network of volunteer firemen across the County. We hope to have an open discussion of these differences and hope to work towards solutions. It will be an open forum for anyone that has something to say, Y’all come!

I’ve been invited to speak at Community Bible Church’s Men’s ministry, Man 2 Man. Topic: “Responsibility in an Irresponsible World”.

CBC desires to see the men in our church family examine their lives and take courageous steps to embrace authentic manhood on a journey to become the men God intends for them to be. It is our firm belief that when men connect in life-changing ways, it causes a powerful ripple effect that touches our families, our workplace, and our church. Be on the lookout for studies, events, and conferences that will help you move beyond the walls of isolation and toward a Biblical viewpoint…toward building integrity, boldness, and compassion together.
