Bleckley Co. Remembers Tornado Victims in Bible Reading

Unlike much of the southeast BleckleyCounty was spared of severe storm damage. Heavy hearts and bowed heads filled the front lawn of the BleckleyCounty courthouse Friday night as thankful voices read the bible, with hope of better days for those who need it most.

More than 100 people started a weeklong bible reading marathon, a presentation they believe, is even more valuable in light of possibly the worst tornado destruction the southeast has ever seen.

“In wake of everything that’s been happening around us, the terrible weather, just the economic times that we live in it’s been great for us to focus on what should be the focus of every community and that’s the bible,” said Cochran Mayor, Cliff Avant.
