The last several weeks in Columbia and Myrtle Beach have been very cold! We have had snow and/or ice on two occasions, and prospects for the next few days appear to be more of the same! I must confess as I get older, I am more averse to cold weather, and am looking forward to Springtime. My outdoor activities will resume, flowers will bloom, and the State of South Carolina will rise and shine with the warmer weather!

I especially worry about the homeless during these cold nights. I salute the various agencies around our two key cities of MKLG, Columbia and Myrtle Beach, for their efforts to keep those on the street warm, fed, and safe. I closely follow what happens at Transitions, which is right up the street from me, and I think they do an excellent job dealing with this critical situation.

Please remember these non-profit agencies during these times with your volunteerism, your treasure, and your prayers. I am looking forward to warming up soon!
