As we make our Christmas lists and check them twice, the majority of this experience is caught up in the chaos of shopping and the stress of paying for it in the new year. But there are gifts that we can give that avoid all of that and keep on blessing the person perpetually.

Anthony Chancelor: We take our kids each year to the Christmas Eve service at the St. Mary’s Episcopal on St. John’s Street in Enterprise. It’s a beautiful candlelight service, and we started taking the kids a few years ago. During this time of year, it’s easy to get so busy and caught up in the things that really don’t matter.

Do you know what “spelunking” is? It’s not the sort of hobby that I would be interested in. Spelunking is the hobby (or career) of exploring caves. Not just the large, cavernous things with stalagmites and stalactites jutting out in all directions; but spaces that you must crawl through – squeeze through – often with little streams of water that could (if a flash flood suddenly occurred) turn into raging torrents.

****UPDATE****

According to Space.com, the loud noise was simply the sound of SpaceX’s 31st Dragon cargo capsule reentering the atmosphere and splashing down off the Florida coast at around 12:39 today.

They stated on their site, “SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule splashed down off the Florida coast at 1:39 p.m. EDT (1839 GMT) today (Dec. 17), a day after undocking from the International Space Station (ISS). CRS-31 returned to Earth with thousands of pounds of equipment and experiment specimens from ongoing microgravity research aboard the space station. Dragon is currently the only ISS cargo spacecraft capable of returning equipment and experiments safely to Earth.”

We are getting reports of a loud boom being heard all across Clarke County. We are unsure what the sound was but are checking with officials to find out. We will update as we get more information.
