By Emily Mayer One of the traits I love and admire about the people of this area is our propensity to give. We give our time to causes we believe are important, our resources to improve our community, funds to make life better for many, and, for those who are believers, our faith in God to pull us through the bad times and praise Him for the good times. We have a long history of giving in this prairie town, and Christmastide of 1924 was awash with community members’ generosity and commaraderie. There were so many entries this...
Matthew 7:15 Out our way, as I have written many times before, a cowboy's hat is his ID and history. Now most folks are respectable enough to have two hats - a respectable one for being in public; and the worn out one for when riding fences and working the herd. It is the second hat that tells the tale of the wearer. THAT is the real Cowboy hat ... the wearer's true ID. The other day I was in my work clothes as I ran into the store - and a guy called out "Nice hat, cowboy!" I...

Matthew 7:15 'Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inside are ravenous wolves' Out our way, most of the folks who look like cowhands actually ARE cowhands. They seldom are seen with clanking spurs in town, normally do not go about with their jeans tucked into their boots, and their hats are generally beat up and weather worn. Of course one can have all that and still not be much more than a dust eater like me - relegated to ride drag on drives and...
Planning for Advent is one of the most difficult tasks for the preacher, particularly for those of us who have preached a lot of Advents over the years. It's that time of year when your local Walmart store has been stocking Christmas items since late September, when Christmas carols play 24-7 on certain radio stations, and when shopping ramps up to a frenetic pace. People in church clamor for Christmas carols during Advent services. That bouncy song "We Need a Little...
You know, Lord, another friend shared about a prayerful 'blurb' she'd recently read which reminded her of where she'd lived or visited. 'Jenny' mention that she was having morning devotions near a window that looked out over a peaceful pond; which is way South; out of our state. Anyway, she heard the birdies singing, saw the sky was dusted with soft shades of blue and white which made her aware of Jesus's presence. But she'd lived in other places, where views were less serene...
