  • Didn’t hear you

    To the editor:
    A.D. 30- 33: “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38 NKJ)
    Jan.20, 1961: “And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” (John F. Kennedy)
    A.D. 30-33: “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” (John 7:24 NKJ)

  • The power is with the people

    To the editor:
    Do we, the citizens of this nation, have the right to abolish our country’s government? The answer is we most certainly do.
    This right to overthrow our country’s government is defined and guaranteed in our country’s founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
    It is the right derived from our nature as free human beings endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  • Thanks for story about church

    To the editor:
    Many thanks to Laura Lewis for the wonderful article she wrote on the church (Concord Methodist Church) and choir in the Feb. 7 edition.
    We were elated to see it on the front page. We enjoyed Laura’s attendance.

  • Dentist is a blessing to many

    To the editor:
    We are blessed and have so many people in Brunswick County who have a heart to help people and never get recognition, mainly by their own choosing.
    I read with interest about local dentist Dr. John Madison, who reached out to pay-it-forward and help Joyce Davis, a cancer patient with a painful dental problem. He took away the pain without thought of monetary consideration.

  • Send the cats somewhere else

    To the editor:
    I recently read a Brunswick Beacon article about feral cats released on Holden Beach.
    A couple of things caught my attention: 1. Of nine cats placed on the island, six are missing in action. 2. The cats were brought in to eradicate rats and so far, that is working, according to officials.

  • Streetreach wants to help

    To the editor:
    Brunswick County Streetreach makes a promise to people in crisis. We will do all we can to help them improve their lives. We will try to the best of our ability to use local resources and to provide overnight emergency shelter during the coldest months of the year (Nov. 1-March 1).
    Behind this promise is a dedicated board of directors, our president, churches and many volunteers who fuel the mission of our organization.

  • Thanks for helping BSRI

    To the editor:
    I would like to thank everyone who stepped forward with their generosity and support and answered our plea for donations that made it possible for Brunswick Senior Resources Inc. (BSRI) to purchase four much-needed Meals on Wheels trailers.
    With the addition of these trailers, BSRI will now be able to deliver additional services and resources to seniors in Brunswick County.

  • Fitness program could help others

    To the editor:
    I was just reading Elsa Bonstein’s article on Dr. Glenn Lunday, called “Chiropractor discusses fitness, weight loss and golf.”
    It is a good, helpful article for anyone who reads it; however, I had also seen the picture of the law enforcement officers on the front page of your paper. It looks like most of them have weight problems.

  • What’s your beef, reader?

    To the editor:
    In response to Mr. Kuthe’s opinion, “What is your beef?” Is it gun owners? Christians? Perhaps gun regulations?
    You mentioned founding-father slave-owners. Hey, pick a topic and stick to it and focus on whatever it is you want to rail about.
    The shortcomings in your argument are pathetically apparent. Hopefully, the tides change and you and your blanket-bombing with no specific target drift north with the tide to the shores of Teddy Kennedy and not southwest to Sunset Beach, or maybe to D.C.

  • Writer needs to get real

    To the editor:
    I am amazed at the letter that states gun owners are out of their minds and are afraid of someone stealing their Bibles. I really don’t see the connection, unless the writer works for Obama.
    According to a Gallup poll in 2011, 47 percent of the people in this country owned guns. Seems unlikely we are all as out of our minds as the writer.
    I suppose he believes that drug laws have stopped drug sales, prostitution no longer exists, and everyone obeys the speed limit and doesn’t fudge their tax returns.
