May Easter be a time of love and prayer
To the editor:
Easter — that word has a certain ring to it.
It began long ago in a far away land. On a cold winter’s night, a little baby boy was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Shepherds tending their flocks had a visit from an angel who told them of His birth. They hurried, and finding Mary, Joseph and the babe, bowed in praise and worship. Returning, they told of things they heard and things they had seen.
This child was Jesus. He grew and found favor with God and man. His life is recorded in our Holy Bible. Love, compassion and forgiveness in His teaching, preaching and countless miracles. It also records His pain and suffering as He paid the price for our sins. Yes, He died, but He rose again and is living today.
He sits in our true churches, and walks in our homes and places of education, wherever we labor. He is present in our sports arena, which is so popular today. He sees our reaction to Easter. Let ours be one of love and prayer. Not to forget, Thanksgiving.

Recycling editorial was right on target
To the editor:
Thanks for your editorial on recycling. I have been baffled by the county’s odd approach. Removing the bins instead of finding a way to make them work is short-sighted.
I and many others make an effort to use them. Once they are gone, it will be easiest to put everything in the trash — no new cost to a former recycler, but a new burden on the landfill. The county’s proposal to sponsor a trial program exclusively with a company that proposed it is lazy and foolish for not entertaining competitive alternatives.
You were gentle with the county for not lampooning this weak, no-bid idea. After some quick research, I found a better, cheaper alternative that is not dependent on the county helping generate sufficient volume.
Again, thanks for your strong comment. I would like to see your editorial pen used more often.

Easter is message of God’s perfect love
To the editor:
My sister has a beautiful rose garden in her backyard, but it does not come without a price. In order to pick the fragrant flowers, one must maneuver through the maze of sharp thorns before reaching the prize. Even after snipping the stem of a colorful bud, the prickly thorns can still be a hazard.
