For benefit of Bielema

A note to Boo-Hoo Bielema: Instead of blaming losses on the officiating crew, pointing fingers and crying about other teams’ weak schedules, or infuriating other coaches with your pompous remarks, why don’t you try something refreshingly different? Try getting your team ready for the game that is next on the schedule. Try fixing the problems that led to three losses in a row. Shut up and coach! JOHN J. ZACH

Maumelle our current president? That sounds strong, doesn’t it? Who might take his place?

Everything taking place has little to do with who is in the Oval Office. Every modern-era president has been faced with some crisis in that region. If the leaders in this country had spent more time on finding common ground instead of ways to make this president fail, perhaps our response to this matter would be framed differently. Since they did not, my advice to Obama is to say “fore” and keep on moving. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

For Ms. Carolyn Howard of Searcy, no, madam, our leaders are not sending America to hell. Instead of trying to make God a political party or some individual her idol, she should do as a Christian and let her light shine. No politician can send you to hell. You would have to reject Christ. All politicians are either sinners saved by grace or just sinners. Pray for those people and live your life so others may see the good works of Christ. Washington, D.C., will always disappoint you. Read your Bibles and find your joy. It will cure that derangement syndrome. CLEMEL PHILLIPS
