Scripture References: Matthew 4: 1-11 and 5: 38-41 Let me see if I can get a tune stuck in your head. Read the following lyrics and try not to think of the common tune that they go with: “This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine! This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine! This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine… Let it shine… Let it shine… Let it shine! Did it work? Could you shut the tune out of your mind, or did you naturally start reading these words to that simple and joyous tune? If the tune is now stuck in you...
An identifiable character in the New Testament is a man named Zacchaeus, who, in order to get a glimpse of the Lord Jesus, climbed up a sycamore tree. A large crowd had gathered to see Jesus as he was coming into Jericho. Zacchaeus was a rather short individual, and he wanted to but could not get a good look at the savior. We don’t know exactly how short or tall Zacchaeus was, depending on your perspective, or how old he was. But I can tell you that climbing a tree at any time past the teen years could be a little hazardous to one’s hea...

Aging is a privilege that some of my friends have not had. When we are young, we enter a complex rollercoaster of change that is characterized by various stages, each marked by distinct physical, psychological and social milestones. According to Alex Janin in Wall Street Journal, “A growing body of research says the aging process might resemble rolling hills more than a slow and steady decline. Instead of assigning the process to groups of years, it may come instead in waves at age 44 and 60.” M...
You’ve surely seen them. The people in your life that rarely look at the glass as half empty. To them, having a half-empty glass just means they can go fill it to the brim with whatever they choose. But to a person who is discouraged, depressed and feeling victimized by endless defeats, a Constantly Contented Connie can be absolutely irritating to be around. We commonly refer to the two attitudes as Victor and Victim mindsets. Victors. They have decided to be just that. They have already d...
It is amazing how much we take for granted – simple things like running water. Earlier this week our family was personally reminded of that when we had a water line leak that caused us to be without running water to our house for a couple of days. It can bring your life to a stop. For decades, most people in the civilized world have had access to running water to cook with, wash with and drink. We just take it for granted, or, actually, we don’t even think about not having this luxury. How...
As a council member who has observed and now actively participates in city government, I completely understand the frustration many of you feel toward the city council, mayor and administration. Believe me, I've been in your shoes. Like many of you, I once felt disillusioned, thinking the council didn't care about the people they were elected to represent. It seemed like there had to be a better way to run things, and I was convinced that, if given the chance, I could make a real difference....
Sometimes, when you least expect it, Jesus will slap you upside the head with a blessing. I have been abundantly blessed by our Savior. There have been times when I recognized it straight off and there are many times when I didn’t realize the blessing till much later. There have also been times when Jesus has slapped me up against the head with a 2x4, trying to get me to snap out of the funk I was in. This past week, he hit me upside the head with a railroad tie. I have been fighting high blood pressure issues for quite a while, but since M...
Men greatly outnumbered women in the American West in the late 19th century. In some places, in fact, women were almost nonexistent. In farming regions, like the Great Plains, settlers were often married couples with children, so the number of males and females were close to being equal. But that was not the case in some other western areas. Mining camps, ranches and military forts, for example, had numerous male workers but very few females. The same was true in places where railroad, lumber...
I hope everyone has a great time. I'm not sure if brother Jack is going to make it because he has family visiting. I lack the energy and want to get one of my cars out this year. There are plenty of activities to go around, so enjoy it all. Cleo loved to show off her "Pie Wagon," the Model T C-cab. Unfortunately, it has been out of commission for years, and she got to where she could not get in it to ride. I hope everyone has a fun weekend. Don't forget the free food this evening. I had an...

ALVA – Jaci Traul put a little more student into her role as a student-athlete during her performance this past weekend at the Colby (Kansas) Community College rodeo. Traul took a cerebral approach to her job and came away with the breakaway roping championship. She roped her first calf in 2.5 seconds to finish the opening round in a three-way tie for fifth place, then stopped the clock in 2.3 seconds to win the championship round and the aggregate title. The 130 points she earned in northwest Kansas pushed her to a tie for second place in t...
