  • View from the North 40: Some things quell panic better than others

    Pam Burke|Updated Mar 13, 2020

    If you want to know who to blame about this toilet paper hoarding craze in the midst of a pandemic that does not affect your gastrointestinal tract, blame a gang of knife-wielding men in Hong Kong. The Agence France-Presse reported the theft Feb. 17. Hong Kong, at the time, was experiencing shortages of many household staples, including hand sanitizers and some foods, due to panic-buying in Hong Kong early in February. I don’t know what fueled the theft of 600 rolls of t...

  • Out Our Way: Gabriel sings - Phillipians 4:4-7

    Updated Mar 13, 2020

    Out our way, the voice of God can be heard daily, but only if we take the time to listen. That is one of the great secrets of the "Big Open." God is everywhere and speaks to us in so many "voices." He calls to us through the huge vistas that one sees up on the Tiger Ridge. He speaks through the breeze that pushes your hat back and the smell of the sage. He converses in the living connection between horse and rider. And for me, at least, He speaks directly to my soul through...

  • Pastor's Corner: The Lord is near

    Updated Mar 13, 2020

    In his letter to the Philippians, Paul writes “rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (4:4-7). As Christians, it is part of our calling to be a prophetic voice for our brothers and sisters suffering around the...

  • Roping Religion: Get a good start. Take a good throw

    Updated Mar 13, 2020

    Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God wants You to Win!” by world champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Of all the stories in Jeff Copenhaver’s devotional the one that sticks in my mind is the roping advice he was given while he was developing his skills. A mentor told him, “Get a good start. Take a good throw.” I would like to adapt that saying for us. My saying comes from Jesus. “Love God and love one another.” If we would say that to ourselves every morning it would help us get a...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Mar 13, 2020

    A while back we had the privilege to read a grade school kid's speech on staying active and fit. That brought back some childhood memories. As a farm/ranch kid, whoever thought about anorexia or obesity? We didn't have time for that and we certainly never heard of all the electronics that folks have at their fingertips today. Most of those items weren't even invented, way back then. We had chores to do outside in the fresh air - all four seasons: winter cold, summer heat and d...

  • Grief Poem - Strength and Hope

    Updated Mar 13, 2020

    We’re feeling sad this sunny day, we miss your tales and smile. Things sure have changed, but just you wait, we’ll see you after while! We’re told we need a healing time, and share our darkest pain, We laugh and cry, our sorrow shared, as we walk on Grief Lane. Loved one and I have a secret that no one else shall know, For only ‘we’ can see their face at night in candle glow. And as we walk the busy streets, alone – just any time, From time to time we swear we feel ‘your’ hand slip into mine. Though you’ve left earth, life...
