Another popular week at www.sierramountaintimes.com. Here is what readers had to say:

“How true! You can’t force it, and certainly shouldn’t dwell on it. Once the bug returns, whether it’s painting or writing, you can’t avoid it. It takes you over. I paint and write, as well, and find that when one demon is “sleeping” the other is well awake!” – Fran Caldwell, in response to the November 28th Writer’s Corner column about writer’s block.

“Pastor Craig, I want to tell you how much I appreciated your answer to the question about America being founded on Christian principals. I do not see questions like that asked in the national press and I would guess that if someone did ask, there would be no answer. Some time ago I wrote an editorial to a local newspaper quoting George Washington. “I am sure there never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States: and I should be pained to believe, that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God, who is alone able to protect them.” The editorial was not published. As a grandfather of sixteen grandchildren, I consider that the greatest threat to my grandchildren is that the country will fail to consider the omnipotence of that God, who is alone able to protect them. To me that threat is greater than any terrorist attack.” – Dallas Bobp, in response to the November 28th Tough Questions column about the foundations of America.

“Well done. It needed to be said.” – V.Landolina, in response to the November 28th Tough Questions column about the foundations of America.

“The United States Bill of Rights, First Amendment, line one: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Otherwise known as separation of church and state.” – James Madison, in response to the November 28th Tough Questions column about the foundations of America.

“Mmmm. I’m hungry now. That is a sweet looking place.” – George Vegas, in response Thomas Atkins’ November 21st article on Alicia’s Sugar Shack.
