On Monday, the Lady Tigers golf team took a trip down Highway 32 to participate in the Bolivar Invitational Golf Tournament. 26 teams participated, giving the Lady Tigers ample competition. Due to illness, only four golfers were able to make the trip so the team competed only on the individual level. It was a tough day for the ladies as none of the Lady Tigers were able to place in the Top Ten. Carli Burchett paced the Lady Tigers over 18 holes, scoring a 101. She was followed by Kendra Bishop with a 111 and Vanessa Nail with a 117.

I actually had high hopes going into “Transformers One.” Not because I’m a big fan of the toys or really anything about the property, but because this movie promised to correct some of the mistakes made by its predecessors. Namely, I was excited that there wouldn’t be any live-action actors. For some reason, this franchise has never shied away from shoving human Shia LeBeouf or Mark Wahlberg characters down our throats when we all know it’s the giant robots that sell tickets. This time, no humans, all robots. Also, animated versions of previously-live-action franchises have been pleasing me lately. Both “Spider-Verse” movies are outstanding, and last year for the first time I found myself liking a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie with “Mutant Mayhem.” Could “Transformers One” turn me around on another property that I had previously dismissed as a series of glorified toy commercials? Sadly, no.

Jesus did what many of us fail to do. He kept his life on course. Jesus could have been a political revolutionary. He could have been content with being a teacher or physician healing bodies. God used Him to be a Savior and save souls.
