My Grandma Buche passed away back in 1977. My Grandpa Buche passed in 1985. My father would have been 44 years old at the time and I would have been just 17. I remember Dad working through his grief, and he made the observation, only half joking - he said, "I'm an orphan." At the time, with my very limited life experience...
A Police department in Georgia posted on Facebook that while Valentine's Day is traditionally set aside to celebrate with the special "love in your life," residents shouldn't "forget those ex's that did you wrong either!" They wrote, "Do you have an ex-Valentine and know they have outstanding warrants? Do you have information that they are driving...
I found a news story from back in 2014, "Today, the Ebola virus spreads only through direct contact with bodily fluids... But some of the nation's top infectious disease experts worry that this deadly virus could mutate." Dr. Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research in Minnesota, said, "It's the single greatest concern......
What is the Church? And what's it supposed to do? The Church experience has changed drastically for many in the last two years. We started live streaming here for 'shut-ins' a few years before the pandemic and had no idea that for months it would be for all of us. And many have made their way back, but many have ...
I'm pretty sure over the last two years you've heard the phrase, "Follow the science." We've been told to, 'trust the science'. But 'science' in and of itself is not an authority. 'Science' is merely a tool that we use to discover facts about this world in which we're living. The Authority is The One who created this world....
So, the chaos of the last two years has continued to amplify divisions. We've been physically separated and small ideological differences have become huge differences. Ideas or opinions that were important - but weren't previously controversial - have become massive wedges between people. The differences were real - but in the past they didn't end...
According to scientist's calculations, every second, more than four million tons of matter is converted into energy within our Sun's core. They say our sun today is roughly halfway through its 'life cycle' and will remain fairly stable for four billion more years.
I've heard several radio and TV shows doing a 'year in review'. I've gotta say, this is the second year in a row that I'm not all that much interested in looking back at the last year. I remember preacher's being all excited with the theme of '20/20 vision' back when 2020 rolled around. We had no idea how good we had it back in ...
Well, we made it through another Christmas! I hope you had a good one. Christmas mornings are a lot different from what I remember as a kid. When you're a kid, you're not worried about all the holiday preparation and crazy schedules and last minute gifts. You just go to bed and wake up on Christmas morning...
"It's a Wonderful Life" is a 1946 film starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, directed by Frank Capra. Two of the writers called the finished film "horrid" and refused to see it when it was released. And despite the fact that it was initially a box office flop - it's of course become a Christmas Classic. How many of you have watched it this year?...
