  • View from the North 40: Not all Signs from the Universe are created equally

    Pam Burke|Updated Nov 19, 2021

    I don’t acknowledge signs, those supposed metaphysical, philosophical and esoteric Signs from the Universe that require interpretation to guide me through life’s journey. Those signs are a hard no from me. Signs from the Universe are pointless for over-thinkers. Let’s say you’re working hard to make a dream come true. Your first break comes along and you garner some success from it, but not without some problems and painful sacrifices. You feel this momentous moment is a si...

  • Out Our Way: And the skies are not cloudy all day - Colossians 3:1-4

    Updated Nov 19, 2021

    Out our way, clear skies are pretty common. As a native westerner, I grew up with the song "Home on the Range" and thought the phrase "and the skies are not cloudy all day" to be a bit ridiculous. "Of course the skies are not cloudy all day - they never are!" Then, God played a trick on me and called me into the ministry. At that time, as a Presbyterian, I was required to attend a Presbyterian seminary. Thus I ended up moving east to New Jersey. It was there I discovered...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Nov 19, 2021

    You know, Lord, sometimes we need a bit of help to understand all about God's creation and His gift of wisdom for us. Several of us stood on the side-line, observing some incidences, as JoeJoe zoomed by on his "wheely" while his buddy warned him to drive more carefully, do not run over Grandma, he loudly called.
