Despite the hopes of public health, government officials at every level and just about everyone else, the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and, for the second year in a row, was the biggest story in the region and around the globe. The virus, despite efforts on the part of public health to vaccinate as many people as possible, killed almost as many people this year as last year in Hill County, and hospitalized dozens locally, but beyond the direct impact of the virus, it and the...

Not since the Renaissance has Italy led the world so clearly in the culture wars, but this time we’re not talking about arts, and certainly not sciences, we’re talking about the great COVID vaccine resistance of 2021. Those Italians put some skin in the game. Even with a pretty high 73% full-vaccination rate in the country, on Dec. 6 Italy started requiring a health pass to prove vaccination for some professions and for entrance into many venues. The Thursday before the law...
Farm Report: Tomatoes are up and everything else is down. More or less. I’m not sure what it is about tomatoes here but they insist on growing under extreme conditions, such as winter.

My neighbors are glad to relieve me of the excess. Herbs are year round. Flowers are forever. But the...

Out our way, dawn is especially welcome in winter. The sun sets early and the sun rises late - and in between it gets really cold! More than once I have wondered if it was ever coming as I stomped my feet, ribbed my hands and even ole Doc shivered as I sat watching with hopeful eyes the eastern ridges. As many of you know, the date we celebrate Christmas was chosen by the early Church during the time of great persecution. The pagans hunted down, abused, robbed and even killed...
Today, I am pulling out my 2022 calendars and writing down events taking place during this first month of the new year. As I do this, I can't help but wonder, what is this year of 2022 going to be like? Will it be like 2021? Will it be like 2020? In a very real way, I hope the answer to both of those questions is a resounding no! And yet, we really do not know what this year (or any other year) will bring. So, what do we really know? We know that God loves us continuously....
You know, Lord, New Year's can be like a fresh start! Our Mom delighted in opening up a new diary/journal which she faithfully kept until You called her home.

All too soon the neatly arranged rows of squares are filled with various appointments, or as one gal said, 'filled with the living of o...
