Grateful for Local Hospital

My holidays were ruined by a nasty bug - Bacterial Pneumonia. The last time I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia was in February of 1997.

The Monday before Christmas I started getting a sore throat. Then I started coughing. By Christmas Eve, I was not feeling well at all. I opted to stay home Christmas Eve even though I knew my oxygen was extremely low.  I thought, “Oh, a good night’s rest and I will be better.”

The Unsung Volunteers

The Saratoga Planning Commission should be commended for completing their work on one of the largest sections of town code.

Jesus' Inaugural Address

In Luke’s Gospel Chapter 4:14-21, Jesus is launching his public ministry. After teaching in several synagogues around Galilee, he arrives in Nazareth, “where he had been brought up.” As Luke tells the story, this is the first place we hear Jesus’ teaching — it’s his inaugural address as he begins to preach and teach and heal.

Living on Purpose: Having a covenant relationship with God

The Almighty is always faithful, He never fails, and if we take a closer look throughout our past, we notice that He has been working in our lives even when it did not seem like it.

Invest in, don't divest from, public education

When looking at the amount of education related bills in the 68th Wyoming Legislature, it’s hard not to believe that a number of our legislators aren’t invested in our public education system.

The amount of bills introduced this session—more than 700—is enough to make my head spin some days. Yet, what makes my head spin even more are the bills introduced which almost seem to try to undercut Wyoming’s public education system.

Storytelling is the heart of journalism

It’s been literally decades since I’ve been in elementary school. And while life as a working adult is just so much fun all the time, sometimes you need to hear from children to put things into perspective.

This week, three of my coworkers and I were invited to speak with some third-grade students at Wagonwheel Elementary about the newspaper business. I knew that there would be questions.

The Mysteries of the Faith

Though many churches today no longer teach that the Holy Scriptures, as originally written are inerrant (without error). The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, the Southern Baptist Church, the Assemblies of God, and other conservative Churches still hold to this very important teaching of the Bible.
