I had a similar experience: Sunday school teacher said people could only get to heaven if they accepted Christ, and I asked about all those kids who lived in places where they'd never hag a chance to even hear about Jesus. "I guess they go to Hell," she said. I was 10, but I knew that wasn't right.

Off to my father's funeral. He died suddenly on Feb. 22, after a car accident. The past week has been filled with the busy red tape of estate stuff and "arrangements," bursting in after the first few days of shock. I anticipate that today will be the hardest yet.

Why McKay's used bookstore is closing in Knoxville - what we know The beloved store that sells used books, music, movies and electronics has been in business in Knoxville for 40 years.

McKay's is closing its Knoxville store -- it's the end of an era. I wonder how much their years-long labor dispute had to do with it? (No mention of that in the announcement or news stories.) www.knoxnews.com/story/money/...

Also, I suspect that immigrants and their children / grandchildren love this country more than other folks
