Church Member Arrested With $394,462 In Back Child Support Fees

Just because your neighbor is a regular church-goer doesn’t mean they pay all their taxes.

Lyman R. Rea was just arrested by Greenville County Sheriff’s for failure to pay child support, a search that’s been going on for over 3 years in a case that originated in Missouri.

The member of the 2nd Baptist Church on East Camperdown Way has finally been caught and required to pay $37,000 before his eligibility for release in 6 months.

Curious minds want to know, so: $394,462 / 13 = $30,343.23 per child, proof that crime doesn’t pay.

South Carolina Drought Does Have Advantages

It’d be hard to think right off-hand exactly what the advantages to a drought would be, but as this short video from the DNR explains, certain plants thrive on drought conditions in order to regerminate their species - two of them being cypress and tupelo.

Gov. Sanford is hoping for a break in the drought, but we should remember that this is all part of the grand design, and things will work out in the long run.

While that may not be of much comfort to many right now, we will make it through this drought like we have with so many before it.
