Rev. Joey N. Welch essay to read while Chris finishes Chapter Six As we wait for Chris Bennett to put the finishing touches on: Chapter Six of Rivermen of the Cumberland. Last week he left readers in the worst state of suspension since the good guy's were holed up behind a rock, surrounded by villainous outlaws at a Saturday night Rialto Theatre serial, and we were left in a panic to make sure we had the 15 cents for a ticket to see how the good guys escaped. "I was at a loss for words, we were out of gas, it was getting late in the day and we had nowhere to stay the night. We had three choices; we could camp out at their gas pumps until they opened the next morning. We could go through the lock and hope to find gas closer to Nashville, or we could try to make it back to Lake Wood Marina, a few miles upstream. We decided to go with the latter. We would try and make it back to Lake Wood. I started the boat and headed northeast not knowing how the day's adventure would end."In the meantime, there's a somewhat related Sunday article about William Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, and the memory of his name. It was first published in the Hart County Herald, written by and reprinted with permission of the author in CM, first on April 27, 2007, and again today: Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Cumberland, Sweet William, and more ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor HOW WILL YOUR NAME BE REMEMBERED? By Rev. Joey N. Welsh How often do people in our age take the long view of life decisions and their consequences? How often do we look beyond our current needs, or even our current desires and cravings? I fear the answer is that many people give little heed to what the immediate costs of their decisions might be, let alone how the consequences can continue to echo even beyond the bounds of their mortal lives. Every time I read a tragic story of personal or family destruction related to addiction to methamphetamines or Oxycontin, I wonder how the folks involved could ever have imagined that chapter in their lives ending happily. And when I read about people blown to bits in meth lab explosions, I wonder if they ever thought about the name they would leave behind for any kids lucky enough to survive the trauma. Click: Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Cumberland, Sweet William, and more to continue essay. This story was posted on 2008-09-28 10:26:56
