It is a strange biological condition that air is the most crucial element for sustaining life, but wind — a form of air — is an agent of nature whose primary purpose is to wreak havoc and, if at all possible, to kill us. Wind is, of course, just air in motion, but it is the moment that air gains movement which changes everything, like feeding a gremlin after midnight. At 30 below zero my insulated outer layers and my hood pulled snug around my face hold my body heat aro...

Out our way, for most folks, quitting time comes when the job is done and not before. Nowhere is that more clear than in agriculture. Now, some of you may recall the story of "Junior," that Charolais bull that went missing one day. In case you missed it or have forgotten the story, here it is in brief. It was time to move the herd from summer to winter pasture and after we had the herd rounded up and on the move, it was my job to go collect the bulls. This was not a big deal...
Some 2,000-plus years ago an event took place that changed the course of humanity. The event I refer to is the Incarnation - God coming to earth, becoming human and living among us. This event was meant to change the way humanity related to God. It was meant to restore a broken relationship that existed between God and the people he loved. The Son of God was born and given the name Jesus. We all know the story; how he was baptized and through the power of the Holy Spirit...
You know, Lord, humor is everywhere. We can look at health, exercise and even Alzheimer's, which, we're told, that even dogs can get! One way to slow Alzheimer's, is to go for a walk - with your dog. Fresh air and exercise help the walker as well as the dog. No wonder neighbors are out there walking their dogs. They probably read that, too, and want to keep their pets and themselves healthy. Friends had some deer that "visited" their place. Neighbor kids got together and...
