Editor, Health care experts across the board have all stated that practicing social distancing, adequate hygiene, and good medical care are crucial in combating the spread of COVID-19.

There needs to be a coordinated effort across the state to mitigate, or...

Knowledge gives me comfort — but I think that’s true of everyone. Think about parents with their first child. Everything the child does is interesting or worrisome, and studied for understanding. The second child is a lot more boring, and if they get up to, say, six children then that last one can be running feral in the street with grapes stuffed in its nostrils and pencil firmly grasped in one hand, and the parents are, like, “Meh, it’s OK. Kids are resilient. Remarka...

On a hillside near the city, a grove of olives grew — Gethsemane means “oil press” — its nuance Jesus knew. This Garden Grove, a place of prayer — a happ’ning there one night, near press for oil — the press of sin, our sins on Christ, not light. So — what happened in that garden, where heavy weights press oil? Affliction and anxiety, to us they are a foil. The first man, Adam, by his choice disjoined(1) God by his sin. The second Adam, Jesus Christ, forgives us from within. He knew He was the sacrifice, He sweat real drop...
Today we find ourselves in the middle of Holy Week as we make that sacred pilgrimage with Jesus to the cross of Good Friday and the empty tomb of Easter morning.

Out our way, there are many things that give a lift to the heart. The smell of lilacs in May, the sight of Saddle Butte in the early morning, Charlie and me riding the Tiger Ridge looking for strays, and, of course, the sound of the meadowlarks. Some of you may recall that story I tell about being caught in a blizzard down in Wyoming on a back road. The nearest town was 50 miles away and my car started having engine problems. Turns out the highway patrol had closed the road after I had turned on it just after leaving...
