Remembering Craig Hare: Jolt Into Reality

Craig's passing is a reminder . . . that life is precious. Life is a gift. - JOEY TUCKER

When I think back on how we are when we are young, I can't help but see how naive we are. When we are in our teens, we know it all, know how to do it all, and nobody can tell us anything. We also in our infinite knowledge think we are immortal.

I attended Adair County High and was in the same class as Craig Hare. I have to say that as an entire class, we were all very close. We had our little clicks, but everyone was pretty much friends with everyone else. I can recall some of the teachers saying that it was remarkable how well we all got along.

Now playing at the Columbian Theater: 2 great PG's

Two wonderful movies, both rated PG, are now playing at the Columbia Theater on the Square in Downtown Columbia:

Facing the Giants, rated PG. 8:00pm nightly; Sunday at 4:00pm only
A movie about a football coach who discovers a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, the coach and his team discover how faith plays out on the field and off, that, with God, all things are possible.

Happy Feet, rated PG. 6:00pm nightly; Sunday at 2:00pm only
The movie about Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica, where you're nobody unless you can sing, which is unfortunate for Mumble, who is the worst singer in the world. But he can dance, a cute habit his dad, Memphis, says "just ain't penguin." Mumble is cast out, leaves with his friend Gloria, the best singer around, and their later adventures prove that, by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
