‘Oh, Canada’
The gloominess underscores the question that takes me aback every time I think about it, and that is, “Why are we fighting Canada?”

Lucas: Run, Darline, run
I don’t think it is an understatement to suggest that when Gov. McMaster put forth Darline Graham’s name to fulfill the remainder of her late brother’s term in the U.S. Senate, it was intended to be a nod to the memory of Lindsey Graham.

Lucas: Order in the court
As I sit at my computer and attempt to write this week’s article, I find myself challenged. That challenge is magnified 10 times over by the fact that it is Monday. By now (usually), I would have written on Saturday, proofread for the second time on Sunday, and submitted by Sunday evening.

Lucas: Back to ‘The Real Food Show’ – Beyond the boundaries of ‘taste’
Did you ever have one of those moments when it seems that everything around you is so off kilter, so removed from the norm that you say to yourself, “You simply cannot make up this stuff”?

Lucas: Remembering Senator Graham
While I never am gleeful at the news of anyone’s death, there are certain things I trust are God’s way of intervening … whether we like it or not. And to that end, I am going to talk about what became my total disappointment with Sen. Graham.

Lucas: Happy July 4th, dear readers
As we move toward July 4 and the celebration of our country, there is so much to be recognized about where we were, where we are, and where we appear to be going. You, dear reader, will be deluged with television programs, written treatises, and personal interaction with friends as to what this date means and how it should be celebrated.

Lucas: Why not debate?
Recently a friend asked, “What does trust mean to you?”
I had to pause and think about that. I could have given some standard definition that includes such descriptors as honesty, reliability, safety. Somehow those seem mundane in a larger sense.
Is trust a gut feeling that should be listened to? Maybe. I know that often I am too trusting, and I pay the price later. That said, I have always erred on the side of giving someone a chance until he/she shows himself to be otherwise. And if that person has indicated such from the beginning, and you have missed the clues, then shame on you.

Lucas: Kudos to those who found their moral core
So much has been happening on the national level that I fear we may have lost track of a significant event in May in South Carolina. That James Clyburn was the target was evident. The attempt to redraw the voting districts of our state met with defeat, however, thanks to a crossover by five senators. But more on those heroes later.
