The Times Dispatch Blogs

I stumbled onto a great website for parents called Common Sense Media. The focus of the site is providing parents with the info they need to judge whether or not a particular movie, television show, website, book or game is suitable for their child.

The site gives the pros and cons for a particular piece of media and includes ideas for discussing it with your child.

I appreciate the openness of the site and that they provide the information a parent needs to make their own judgment call about whether their child should have access to a particular piece of media.

The website is located at www.commonsensemedia.org

I am so pleased that Lawrence County will be an Angel Food distribution point. Thanks to all the hard working volunteers the group no longer has to travel to Jonesboro to pick up the food. What a time saver that will be.

Angel Food Ministries is a fantastic resource for those on a fixed income. A box of food containing meat, vegetables and other food items is available for just $25. If you haven't heard about this wonderful program contact Debbie Spangler at 759-0135
