This is Chrys Holley. What a heartwarming column on your co-worker’s miraculous recovery after three month’s hospitalization. And getting off kidney dialysis confirms our awesome God is still performing miracles contrary to what I hear about John McArthur’s book, “Strangefire”. God Bless your co-worker, Tracie, the “angel” whom you mentioned. Her faithfulness in visiting and daily praying for the patient reflects Christ’s everlasting love and mercy !

Hey, this is Dennis.  Tonight's mega jackpot is $636 million.  I wonder how much money was taken in by the lottery agency for this jackpot.  I can only guess.  6 to 12 trillion dollars?  Whatever the amount which no one tells us. No one tells us.   Who gets this excessive amount of money?  I'm sure some goes to the state and education, but who pockets most of the rest of the money?  I wonder.

I say East Milton for the new courthouse.  I encourage everyone to call in to the newspaper and call your county commissioner and tell them East Milton.  From what I hear most people think East Milton is the only place because of the high number of trips the Sheriff's Department making, taking inmates to and fro. We know that to be a definite factor of where the courthouse will be. It will save the county money the closer to the jail it is.  Anyone else needing to go to the courthouse, let them foot their own bill.  Thank you.

This is Joyce.  I was at the Redneck Christmas Parade this year and I thought it was wonderful.  The man in the paper who states there are too many rebel flags at the parade, remind him they are Confederate flags not rebel flags and if he doesn't like it, don't go to Chumuckla, stay away from the parade.  The parade has been going on for 18 years and it's about time someone does something silly.

Editor’s note to Jeff about the fence at Hickory Hammock Rd. We are told the fence has been installed to keep wildlife off the highway. It was paid for by the State of Florida, Florida Department of Transportation.
