Praise the Lord for conealed carry


The son of a well-known Alcoa, Georgia pastor has taken out an order of protection against his father, claiming he was threatened with a gun during an argument at a church over his lack of church attendance. The order of protection was filed by 32-year-old Michael Louis Colquitt against 60-year-old Joe Colquitt, pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church.

The younger man told police his father pulled out a handgun when they met at the church to discuss church attendance. He told officers his father pointed the gun at him and threatened to kill him, his wife and family.

My pick for next Supreme


Leah Ward Sears is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the U.S. state of Georgia. She is also Chair of the Judicial Council of Georgia, the 200 million dollar agency in charge of the state judicial system. When sworn in on June 28, 2005, Sears became the first African-American female Chief Justice in the United States. When she was first appointed as justice in 1992 by then Governor Zell Miller, she became the first woman and youngest person to sit on the Supreme Court of Georgia.

She announced in October of 2008, that she would leave the court at the end of June 2009, to "explore another chapter in my life". At 53, with a career filled with "first", she is well positioned to succeed retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter and become the first African-American female Supreme Court Justice.
