Important Ways to Fight
Allergens This Season
By Joe Brady, Editor
for
The Times
During allergy season, having a haven from the triggers that make you sneeze, and wheeze
is essential. While you can’t completely control your surroundings in the great outdoors, you
can take steps at home to reduce allergens and feel your best.
• Fresh, cool air: The right air conditioning unit can help you breathe better indoors.
• Smart steps: When you get home from spending time outdoors, take off outer layers
that have contacted pollen, such as jackets and shoes. Having a mud room or other area to
remove and store these items, preferably attached to or close to your laundry room, will help
you avoid tracking and spreading allergens throughout your home.
• Screened doors and windows: Even if you suffer from allergies, you may enjoy throwing
open your windows on a nice day for a cross breeze. Just be sure all the screens on your
windows and doors are in
good condition and free
of tears and holes. Special
pollen-blocking screens are
easy to install and go a step
further than standard insect
screens to keep out smaller,
particulate matter, including
pollen, dust and other small
irritants and allergens.
• Whole-home cleaning:
Regular vacuuming will
make a world of difference
in the way you feel. For
maximum relief, use a
vacuum with complete seal
HEPA filtration. This means it’s EPA-certified to do the job, based on the standard test
method, which indicates it can trap 99.9% of dust, dander, and allergen particles 0.3 microns
and larger.
There is no need to suffer in your own home this season. With some smart strategies and
the right tools, you can keep allergens at bay indoors.
McBath, Ossoff introduce
prison bill
Dave Williams, Special Contributor
for
The Times
Two Democratic
members of Georgia’s
congressional delegation
introduced legislation
Wednesday to overhaul
oversight of the federal
prison system.
The bill, sponsored
in the U.S. House of
Representatives by Rep.
Lucy McBath, D-Marietta,
and in the U.S. Senate
by Sen. Jon Ossoff,
would require the Justice
Department’s inspector
general to inspect all 122
U.S. Bureau of Prisons
facilities and make
recommendations for
fixing problems.
The inspector general
must report findings and
recommendations to
Congress and the public,
and the bureau must
respond to all inspection
reports within 60 days with
a corrective action plan.
The legislation also
would establish an
independent ombudsman
to investigate the health,
safety, welfare, and rights
of incarcerated people and
staff. The ombudsman
would create a secure
hotline and online form for
family members, friends,
and representatives of
incarcerated people to
submit complaints and
inquiries.
“Incarcerated Americans
should not fear death
when they enter our
federal prison system,
and correctional officers
should not fear for their
safety in their workplace,”
McBath said Wednesday.
“Our federal prisons must
serve as institutions that
rehabilitate and prepare
Americans for reentry into
society, and that cannot
happen without putting
meaningful accountability
measures in place.”
Ossoff chairs the Senate
Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations, which
held hearings last year on
conditions inside federal
prisons. The senator
introduced a prisons
oversight bill late last year,
but the Senate didn’t act on
it before time ran out on
the 2021-22 congressional
term.
“My bipartisan
investigations of
corruption, abuse, and
misconduct in the federal
prison system revealed an
urgent need to overhaul
federal prison oversight,”
Ossoff said. “I am
bringing Republicans and
Democrats together to
crack down on corruption,
strengthen public safety,
and protect civil rights.”
The legislation has
bipartisan backing.
Cosponsors in the House
include Rep. Kelly
Armstrong, R-N.D., while
Ossoff’s Senate bill is
being cosponsored by Sen.
Mike Braun, R-Ind.

"What wondrous love is this"
While reading some
scriptures this week, I was
reminded that God loves
ALL of his Children. No
matter what color you are,
no matter what your status
in life is, nor what your
orientation, God still loves
everyone.
Scripture tells us in many
places that God is Love. In
John 4, verse 10 he states,
"Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is from
God, and whoever loves
has been bom of God and
knows God. Anyone who
does not love does not
know God, because God
is love. 1 John 4:10. ESV.
Scripture goes on to say in
Romans 3, verse 23, "But
God shows his love for us
in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us."
Christ died for each and
everyone of us. Again, no
matter what or who you
are. He gave us his love.
In all of the scriptures
on God's love for us, we
all can see it is very clear
that we all should love each
other.
Lately, I have witnessed
some things in the news
and sometimes even
at Church where some
profess to be Christians ,
but do not adhere to the
word .It seems lately we
have forgotten to "Love
One Another".
Scripture also tells us to
"Judge not, lest you be
judged". I believe this
falls in line perfectly with
loving and not judging
each other.
One of my pastor's
would often tell me. "If
you simply take time to
listen to a person it would
make all the difference.
Ask them, what is your
story?" and then listen.
Which is something most
of us do not do. We would
understand each other
better if instead of judging,
we just simply "listen and
love".
I challenge you this week
to read all the scriptures
that God gives us on love.
Who knows God may
speak to you and
change your heart
about others and give
you a "listen and
love" mentality. All
of this reminds me of
a wonderful hymn,
"What wondrous
love it this".
"What Wondrous
Love Is" was written
by, Charles F. Bryan
in 1811. It began as
an American folk
hymn, which was
passed down from
one generation to
another through the
course of time.
Folk songs usually
consist of the repetition
of key phrases, to assist in
learning the song, which is
passed down aurally, not
being written down. This
is tme for this hymn in
which such phrases as “O
my soul” and “I’ll sing on”
are repeated repetitiously.
Many sources attribute
the melody to the 1701
English song the “Ballad
of Captain Kidd”, although
the melody itself predates
the Kidd song.
The hymn first appeared
in a collection William
Walker’s Southern
Harmony, first published in
1835. Walker later noted
the tune is a “very popular
old Southern tune”. The
three part harmony found
in the hymnal was arranged
by James Christopher, who
was from Spartanburg,
By Sam Eades, Publisher/Writer
for
The Times
South Carolina.
The composer Charles F.
Bryan included this hymn
in his 1952 folk opera,
Singin’ Billy.
In 1966, the United
Methodist Book of Hymns
became the first mainstream
hymnal to incorporate this
hymn. The song can now
be found in many hymnals.
Sing with me...
What wondrous love is
this, O my soul, O my soul
What wondrous love is
this, O my soul
What wondrous love is
this that caused the Lord
of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
for my soul, for my soul
To bear the dreadful curse
for my soul
When I was sinking down,
sinking down, sinking
down
When I was sinking down,
sinking down
When I was sinking down
beneath God's righteous
frown
Christ laid aside his crown
for my soul, for my soul
Christ laid aside his crown
for my soul
To God and to the Lamb, I
will sing, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb, I
will sing
To God and to the Lamb,
who is the great I Am
While millions join the
theme, I will sing, I will
sing
While millions join the
theme, I will sing
And when from death I'm
free. I'll sing on. I'll sing
on
And when from death I'm
free. I'll sing on
And when from death I'm
free. I'll sing and joyful be
And through eternity I'll
sing on. I'll sing on
And through eternity I'll
sing on
