Dr. Ben Carson Is Leading the Fight for America’s Strongest Asset–The Family

“We Are in a Battle For the Very Soul of Our Nation,” Says Carson
Carson’s New Book, The Perilous Fight, Offers Solutions to Reverse Negative Culture Trends
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities that go on to build a stronger nation as a whole. Unfortunately, widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference in our daily lives are resulting in a breakdown of the family, robbing us of the country we love. Dr. Ben Carson says it doesn’t have to be this way. Recent polls show a large proportion of the country agree and are signaling a move back to conservative principles rooted in faith and family, of which Dr. Carson is a foremost proponent.
In his new book, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture’s War on the American Family (Zondervan, May 14, 2024), one of the most influential conservative voices, Dr. Carson offers inspiration and action-packed answers needed to restore the family as America’s key foundation. Like many of us, Dr. Carson fears we are losing the country we love and encourages readers to return to the biblical and familial values on which our nation was founded.

An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code but does require customers to dial the area code to complete local calls.
The rollout of this area code will begin in mid-2024 and, to prepare, 10-digit dialing will be introduced into the Upstate. The timeline follows:

We Didn't Have the "Green Thing" Back In My Day

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to me I should bring my own shopping bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
I apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.”
The cashier responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
