Thank you from Oak Grove VFD

Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank everyone that came out in support of our Annual Ice Cream Social held this year on Aug. 7. This year we featured the band Phase 2, our famous chicken dinners that included potato salad and baked beans, homemade desserts from our community, hot dogs, pizza, lemon shakes, inflatables, and gun raffles. We also had several beautiful quilts made & donated by talented quilters in our area that were raffled off. As a department many of our members work tirelessly to make this event an enjoyable experience, however, our social would not ...

COVID locally

A new COVID conspiracy has surfaced: It seems that biochemists Hilary and Joe have, in their secret pizza restaurant basement laboratory, invented and developed the Coronavirus. Their nefarious plan was for the virus to spread, infect and kill more than 500,000 American citizens. Hilary and Joe also invented a corona vaccine which, if taken, would protect against the disease. Cleverly, they also planned, and knew, that former President Trump would object to anything that would help Americans, and that this vaccine worked. And that they knew, correctly, that cult members would always ...

Get the vaccine

Sometime before 1933, my mother developed a spot on her arm and had a fever. She got better and then her mother got very sick. Grandpa called the doctor. When the doctor arrived and examined her he determined that she had small pox and it was necessary to vaccinate the entire family for smallpox.

When the doctor returned to check on Mary, Martha and Clement and her Dad, Fred, he could not figure out why Mary did not have a mark on her arm like the others. He ...

God in charge

It appears that most, perhaps not all, of the Climate Change enthusiasts, do not believe in God. Perhaps they think HE does not exist. They do not trust God to handle all things. Genesis 8:22 (KJV) plainly says, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” The seasons and day and night will continue until God decides, all by Himself, with no advice or help needed or wanted from us. There have always been fluctuations of temperature and weather. We have had really hot summers before and really cold ...

Support Your Volunteer Fire Departments

George Washington, Sam Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, and my grandfather all had one thing in common. They all served as volunteer firefighters. As recently as the year 2000, over 75% of our nation’s firefighters were volunteers who answered the call at a moment’s notice, leaving their families and choosing to put their lives on the line to serve their fellow citizens. The volunteer firefighting tradition goes back to ancient Rome where brigades were organized to protect a city that was once largely built of wood. In the United States, the first ...
