It is a challenge today to raise a family today. It is the hardest and scariest thing I have ever done. I know myself. I can take the simple and make it complex. I can take the functioning and create dysfunction. I know this feeling all too well when considering my father's role. I remember when I launched out my last child. As I drove back from dropping her off at college, all I could think about was the untaught lessons, my mistakes and the deep desire that she would do well despite me. Now, I look into the faces of each of my grandchildren...
How long is forever? Can anyone really understand eternity? We, as Christians, want to live forever, but do we really understand just how long or even what that is? I have talked to many people over the years and the definitions I get of eternity vary from “it’s a very long time” to “it’s forever, man!” Here’s something very interesting, I read in an article from the National Institutes of Health that it is estimated that well over 100 billion people have lived on this planet since it was created. I like to define eternity this way. As a Chr...

The Lite-N-Nite convenience store on the west end of Alva caught fire this week, and that was where I met some of my friends and got drinks. It will take more fuel to get to the other watering holes. As usual, the Alva rumor mills are working overtime. The best theory is that someone robbed it and then set the fire to cover up their crime. Sadly, they weren't found in the rubble. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers regardless of why you have the title! Double duty dads, stepmothers and grandpa...
As we saw previously, one of the big advantages the North had during the Civil War was that it had many more people available for military service than did the South. Ultimately, this disparity in population was a key factor in the North winning. Historians often describe the conflict as a war of attrition. Basically, they believe that the outcome of the war was determined by the fact that the South ran out of soldiers. The Confederacy being able to stave off defeat from northern attacks helped...
I don’t know about your God, but MY God sends me reminders every day – reminders of what I am supposed to be doing, who I am supposed to be listening to and who I am not. Sometimes I listen so intently that I hear every word; however, most of the time I don’t listen that well. Then he sends red-letter reminders. Apparently, I haven’t been listening for a month or so, and, on last Wednesday, he sent one of the red-letter reminders. I can hear it ever so clear and concise out of his mouth now. The caring but no-nonsense tone of his voice telling...
One of the topics I have wanted to write about is my thoughts about bullies. From first glance, a bully is an intimidating person. Usually they appear strong, have a loud and/or menacing voice, wear clothing that supports their desire to look menacing and seem ready to fight at the drop of a hat, if not actively seeking out a physical confrontation. Normal people around a bully are often intimidated, feel threatened and discuss amongst themselves how tough the bully is. They may want to become...
One of Andy’s fondest memories is early morning coffee with his mom. Coming in from doing farm chores, he would find her pouring for both of them. Then when he went off to college, he would return on the weekends and continue their habit of having coffee together before all the others got out of bed. Even after marriage, when we would go back home to visit his mother, he still enjoyed having that first cup of coffee with her in the early morning. Great time for me to sleep in! The following w...
“Chicken in the bread pan pickin’ out dough, Granny does your dog bite? No child, no.” – Charlie Daniels. Have you ever pondered animal capacity to perceive environment, feel pain and experience emotions? Anyone who has pets will say “Certainly,” but the question remains one of the most challenging topics in neuro and behavioral science. Sentience is the capacity to have feelings both pleasant and unpleasant. According to an article in National Geographic, Alex Schnell advocates compassion and h...
