Uncle Nick – a wonderful homecoming As I think back, one of the most vivid memories of my childhood was the day my Uncle Nick returned from World War II. It was only a few weeks following V-J Day, and his homecoming was spectacular. There were ticker-tape victory parades through the heart of Manhattan, but I was still considered too young to attend them. Nick’s return was the occasion for a wild and exuberant block party. I remember the music, the singing, the dancing and the sweet aroma of the many kegs of beer scattered along the street for...
Last week we introduced you to the idea of “Pattern Words” that God uses in the Bible to teach us His beautiful and perfect will. We used the example of the word “love” that is defined and more fully described by other words such as adore, cherish, compassion, etc. This week we want to explore scriptures that show us that God is using many pattern words and phrases to reveal the great mystery that He has given to us. Romans 6:17 says, “But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the...

My generation sometimes describes someone old as “long in the tooth.” You can look at a horse’s teeth to tell how old they are. As they age, their teeth grow long. Healthy teeth and gums are essential for overall well-being and play a vital role in physical health and quality of life in horses and humans. Healthy gums are important, too, as they ensure a stable bite and protect the root and the cementum, the layer that protects the root. Receding gum lines are caused by a variety of issue...
Everybody knows finances are tight today. Now, one can only hope against hope that by the time this column hits your hands, the sentence I just wrote is a lie. That by some miracle the ever-escalating balloon of inflation in our country has run into a sharp knife and rapidly became a splattered has-been on the ground. I’m hoping all of us are crowding the stores, once again stocking our pantries and keeping our credit cards smoking. Yeah, I know, the eternal optimist. But let me leave that t...
I came across an article a week or so ago that I have been contemplating whether or not to share with you. I will be honest, when I first read it I became angry, because the author seemed arrogant and dismissing of so many people. I can’t say after thinking about it that all of the anger has subsided, but I did realize that much of the anger arose because it hit a very sensitive nerve. However, I have learned oftentimes it is the stuff that hits the nerve that is the most important for us to c...
Our community lost a cornerstone of the Christian faith recently when Cathy Arnall went to rest in the arms of Jesus. Her smile was infectious and her steadfast faith and belief in our Savior was legendary. She battled cancer for over six years with a grit and determination that was described as epic. The only thing that could have possibly been more epic than her fight against cancer was her tenacity for witnessing for the Lord. Deb and I got to know Steve and Cathy several years ago as our interests in growing and raising garden vegetables...
In January 1987, Pennsylvania state treasurer Budd Dwyer held a press conference at his office on the day before he was to be sentenced and removed from office. Two months earlier, a jury had convicted Dwyer of 11 felony counts stemming from a state contract that he had awarded to an accounting firm. Although he maintained his innocence, Dwyer had been found guilty of accepting a kickback from the owner of the business. Dwyer refused to tell his closest advisors what he was going to say at the...

MILAN, Minn. – It’s been eight years since J.D. Struxness earned his first qualification to the National Finals Rodeo. From a 21-year-old college student to a family man and father of two little girls, a great deal has changed for the Minnesota cowboy who makes his living wrestling steers and chasing his rodeo dreams. “We’ve got a family all on board, and with all the family support I’ve had the last few years, I’ve made some changes to dedicate myself to trying to make these consecutive trips to the NFR,” said Struxness, 29, of Milan, now li...
PRYOR – When Coleman Proctor qualified for the National Finals Rodeo for the first time a decade ago, he was on Cloud 9, an exhilarating feeling he’d only dreamed about. So many things have changed over time, but there’s something familiar for the Pryor team roping header as he prepares for his ninth trip to ProRodeo’s grand finale, set for Dec. 5-14 at Las Vegas. “I was just talking to Jake (Long) the other day about this,” he said of the heeler who grew up in Coffeyville, Kansas, and has been a close friend since their early days in the sadd...
