I confess-I’m reading the July-August issue of the AARP Bulletin. I’ve just listened to the NBC Nightly News, and all of the major newspapers are defaulting and shutting down printing presses. The Chicago Tribune is closing, and their high rise office building is for sale as well as the Chicago Cubs! Someone said, “If you [...]

“We’re just kind of at God’s mercy right now. My hope is that people that never prayed before might start now,” Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller said late Thursday. “We’re going to need a lot of prayers and people are going to need a lot of patience and understanding.” Linn County Sheriff Don [...]

As we approach Father’s Day, I’m reminded of a recent conversation with a young friend who is the father of two small children. He’s married to a wonderful woman, has a job, and is very involved in his church. His wife has developed some health issues and can no longer work. So my friend has [...]
