The knowledge of good and evil
As Christians, we often think the world does not know about God and this is the reason they go 
about their merry way being captivated by sin. This may be partly true, as they do not understand all the details about the Bible and what God wants from them, however every human has inherited the ability to know right from wrong.
Originally, Adam and Eve were not concerned about sin and were not controlled by their Maker, but were given free will to make their own decisions. After they fell from the Garden of Eden and were told they would

The Return in Pickens
Dear Editor,
The conversation around Pickens is about our country morally eroding, heading toward a point of no return. Our Constitution is in jeopardy on our present course, away from our forefathers’ vision for the freedoms we enjoy to have. God had been the foundation of our country’s liberties. Some

Four ways to use up your green tomatoes
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
This is that time of year when gardeners are faced with
lots of green tomatoes that probably won’t be able to get ripe. So, what do you do with them? Of course you can always fry them. And that’s one way.
These four recipes offer a little more variety. We like 
the chow chow as an accompaniment to field peas in the winter. Use it any way you like.
None of these are difficult, but some do take a little more prep time than others. It’s important to use green tomatoes before they begin to lighten in color and soften. The firmer, the better.
For the pickles, I use the smaller ones, about the size of a golf ball. For the chow chow, I always ask for a little chopping help. Please enjoy these.
