The Nashville Police Department continues to investigate shots fired in the parking lot of Hardee's at 361 W. Washington Street in Nashville on May 14 at 2 p.m.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired at the Hardee's location. While en route, a citizen flagged down an officer and reported observing an individual running several blocks from the scene. Officers quickly located the individual in the area of Sixth Street and Brooklyn Boulevard, where he was detained without incident. A firearm recovered at that time later found and believed to be the weapon involved in the incident, as well as wearing a work uniform consistent with the shooters apparel captured on camera at the original incident location.

NASHVILLE - The proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget for Nash County has been worked out- with a planned June 1st public hearing - but at least one item is still on the drawing board after the May 18th Nash County commissioners' meeting: that being whether or not to add about $500,000 from the General Fund to buy eight more requested vehicles for the Nash County Sheriff's Office. Should that money be drawn, it would not affect the Sheriff's Office budget's operational budget.
NCSO asked for 18. Ten were in an initial budget draft, with three added for three new school resource officers, but the buck stopped there.

Scientists tell us that the value of the human body in today's market is around $160.00. In other words, the chemicals and minerals found in our bodies have very little over-the-counter value.
Obviously, our lives are priceless to our families, even though our bodies are not worth very much at all. The soul, however, is a whole different story. Notice in the above verse what Jesus said.

Christians hold that the eight survivors of The Great Flood (Noah and his wife, their three sons, and their wives) disembarked the Ark on Mount Ararat and then migrated to the Plains of Shinar in ancient Mesopotamia. There, rather than multiply and spread throughout the entire earth as God had commanded, this remnant of humanity collectively built a city and a great tower that "reached up to the heavens" and attempted to compete with God. It was there and then that the entire human race was gathered as one race, one people, speaking one language, all the while disobeying God's command to disperse.

Sometimes we accomplish a certain task and we think our work is done.
I have noticed over my years as a Pastor that one task done is just the beginning of something greater. Such was the case in Nehemiah 7.
The people had worked hard for 52 days. The wall around Jerusalem had been reduced to rubble but after much ridicule and taunting, the wall is complete and the gates are hung. But Nehemiah realizes God is not finished.
