I didn't find Jesus. He was never lost, but I sure was. Jesus found me and saved me from myself. On this day, which appears to be a dark day of blood bath and death, becomes a Good Friday of the greatest love imaginable, because nothing could ever surpass this goodness. God gave his only Son to die for our sins and transgressions. Jesus borne our griefs and carried our sorrows with him to the cross so that we may have peace in life.

The South Carolina Senate 35 Republican primary race that is currently in a run-off between Kershaw County businessman Mike Jones and Richland School District 2 board member Lindsay Agostini will be decided at the polls today, and the amount of muddy water voters have had to wade through from the mudslinger has made it difficult to decipher truth from fiction and smears from fact. The Lindsay Agostini campaign released a press release on June 19 that claims Mike Jones was found guilty of misdemeanor and felony charges from more than a decade ago and "has no business running for any public office, much less the South Carolina Senate.
