  • View from the North 40: My apologies for the cuteness overload

    Pam Burke|Updated Mar 31, 2023

    I was going to move on from the whole drama of my illness, but I have one more thing to say about being sick and then I’ll let it go — my pets deserve a shout out for their cuteness during my time of need. It all started with the cat, Tony-O, who thought my having a fever was about the best thing ever, like having a cushioned furnace tucked into “his” bed, which, as a bonus, had a quilt and a down comforter add under his fuzzy blanket to give it extra cushiness. His life co...

  • Teachers on the Front Lines

    Updated Mar 31, 2023

    School shootings and the bloody murders of totally innocent children and their teacher caretakers is a societal tragedy that Americans have become numb to. Without the common sense outlawing of the assault weapons used in most of these atrocities, the preventable horror will relentlessly continue, in our schools, most of them public schools. On the front line of the onslaught are the teachers. Until recently those who had an affinity for kids, and enjoyed learning and sharing with young people the joys of learning, entered...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: Old, Used and Flawed

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Mar 31, 2023

    A few weeks ago, well, several weeks ago, well, a whole lot of weeks ago, Michelle ordered a throw or small bedspread made from pieces of used saris. She spread out the throw for show and tell, differently patterned on each side, stitched together with white cotton thread, in a long running stitch, lines spaced a half inch apart, a very light quilt. I guessed the sari throw to be about 60 by 90 inches. Despite being made with used saris, the colors were vibrant, the patterns...

  • Out Our Way: The Feather - Isaiah 40:31

    Updated Mar 31, 2023

    "And they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength and rise up on eagle's wings, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." Out our way, you see a lot of wildlife while riding fence. I have seen rattlesnakes, antelope, mule deer and white tails, coyotes, even the occasional lion, and many types of birds. The meadowlark is my favorite, but a close second is the golden eagle. Years ago, I was riding in the Nebraska sandhills on the Empire Ranch...

  • Pastors Corner: Where does 'Maundy' Thursday originate?

    Updated Mar 31, 2023

    Next Thursday, April 6, many Christian churches host a "Maundy Thursday" worship which remembers the events of the last meal Jesus of Nazareth ate with his disciples, popularly called the Last Supper. Preceding their Passover meal, Jesus washed the disciples' feet as an example of servant leadership and love he expected from each of them toward others (John 13). Then, Jesus used the Passover meal's bread and wine to explain the meaning of his anticipated death on the cross,...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Mar 31, 2023

    You know, Lord, "D.S." shared about both Palm Sunday and Easter! She said, "Thinking back some years ago about Easter time, we remember that we stood in church on Palm Sunday watching the children parade through the aisles, waving their palm branches. It was enjoyable watching the youngest ones hold onto a 'cord' secured to their Sunday School teacher so they could follow her through the jam-packed sanctuary because they were too small to see where they were going; they could...
