The truth about love
Love and truth are not always used in the same sentence, but the truth is that love and truth are one in the same for only if love is true can it truly be called love. As children we are told that God is love and that is true and it is equally true that He truly loves His children, loved them so much that he sent His only begotten son to show and speak the truth of God's love. In so doing, God allowed His son, Jesus, to be sacrificed on the cross to show the truth of how much God loves His children. This was the action, the greatest action of all, that grew out of the truth of God's love.

Union County is sponsoring the Meansville Riley Water Company's application for a $350,000 grant through the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority. The grant would enable the company to install approximately 31,000 linear feet of new water main on eight different roadways and improve water quality. If requested to do so, should the county sponsor more such grant applications by other local water companies?
