County commissioners narrowly approved a state grant to allow the Young County Historical Commission to pay for a use study for the 1921 jail in Graham’s town center. The commissioners split their votes, 3-11, on the $14,600 grant, which the historical commission will match with funds it has raised from private donors, said YCHC co-director Susan Smith.

I can hardly believe Christmas is almost here. It’s my absolute favorite month of the whole year, and I’m excited about all of the stuff that will be going on. There’s no doubt that things can get a little wild during December, especially when you have kids and you have forty different parties and programs and events to go to. And, as much as I love all of that, I have been known to let the busy-ness get in the way of having the kind of Christmas that I really WANT to have: the kind that is focused on Jesus, on glorifying His name, and on enjoying the time with my children during these too-short years.
