What good is radio if you can’t hear Braves’ games?

The birds are singing, the soil is warming up and the leaves are filling out the trees.

It’s opening day. I tune in to my favorite station to hear the Atlanta Braves and guess what? I hear music. “What the heck?” I say to myself.

I adjust the station  and still no Braves — only music.

Since I had already sent an email to the station (no response), I decided to do it by phone.

“Hello, Radio Station,” says she.

I asked,  “Are you going to carry the Braves game?”

“No,” said she.

“Well,” said I,  “no more listening to your station.”

So now I stream the games. Sorry, guys, but baseball is baseball. No fooling around. Thirty-year listener gone.

We’re better than that

Kudos to the Salisbury Post for Todd Paris’s article “Religious Freedom goes over the cliff.”  Mr. Paris hit the subject right in the heart.

When will Christians realize that this is exactly what the Founding Fathers were fighting for — freedom from religion, not  freedom for religion? They felt it improper and very arrogant for anyone to impose their beliefs on all of us.

I don’t want to go back to the pre-Constitution era, when you couldn’t even be an owner of a business or an elected official unless you were a member of a church.  That is a “persecution syndrome” we can do without.

My values are also Christian, but not to discriminate  Our nation is bigger and better than that.
