My Fellow Freepers, I request your prayers on a life-changing decision. Within the next couple of weeks, my wife and I will be moving from Chicago, Illinois to Greenville, South Carolina. We have both worked for more than a decade at our current jobs, she as a techer and I as a Laboratory Technician. It is difficult for us, but we feel that God is pushing us to do this. Among other reasons, we have family in South Carolina - nearly all of the family. My mother-in-law has had one knee replacement, and it is only a matter of time...

Republican Sen. John McCain says he would consider speaking at Bob Jones University, a school he criticized during the 2000 presidential campaign for its ban on interracial dating and anti-Catholic views. "I can't remember when I've turned down a speaking invitation. I think I'd have to look at it," McCain told The State newspaper in South Carolina. The potential 2008 presidential candidate and Arizona senator said he would have to look at Bob Jones University's latest policy statements. "I understand they have made considerable progress," he said. In 2000, McCain assailed the Christian fundamentalist school for its policies and rival...

I'm thinking of the Carolina mountains as my next place to live. Would you consider Asheville, with its art deco feel as the place to live or would you go for Greenville with its more settled ambience? I've lived in California on the coast all my life and I'd like to try something different. Low cost of living, affordable housing, a safe place to live and having that view outside the window without the price tag. I know Colorado is expensive because every one goes there but no one seems to know the Blue Ridge Mountains are just as stunning....

The town of Greenville is fast becoming an unlikely source of political debate. After returning from a golf trip to the city, a U.S. senator from Wisconsin criticized the city in an article on-line. Democratic Senator Russ Feingold wrote that the city made the wrong choice for president based on its economic troubles. "I wonder why people sometimes don't vote on the basis of that issue as opposed to issues that might divide us - issues like abortion and gay marriage, which I'm told some people made the basis of their decision for president." Of course, the senator's sentiments aren't...

Tuesday, Council Chairwoman Phyllis Henderson joined the other seven Republican members in upholding that decision....
