You know, Lord, recently, having just read Psalms 16:11, “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy”; we were reminded of that verse when we went in a ‘Fast Food Place’ where the gal at the counter saw a couple come in the door, behind us; she smiled and said, “Hi Joy – what are you having today, the same as last week?” They then spoke so quietly, no other words were heard. Then an older gal came through a backroom door, looked, smiled and also said, “Hi, Joy, nice to see you again this week! Jenny will take care...
You know, Lord, friend, Adam, shared how he wanted to stay close to You, Lord. He’d written: “I work at a hospital with Mike, who said he’d prayed for patients and every one of them has died, even the baby who died on Christmas; why would God allow such a thing? You know, Adam, after that I just couldn’t believe anymore. But not believing gave me real peace, because I don’t have to figure out God anymore; I don’t have to give anyone an account for why God does anything, right?” “Mike got a phone call and left – so alone, I tried to process...
You know, Lord, one day, a list-writer’s name popped up; years BACK, C.B. and I were friends – she’s gone off to be with Jesus, but back then, she said; “Guess what. I’m a list writer; ‘LISTS’ help me feel like I’m more organized than I really am. So, just sharing – that’s if you have a few moments, kiddo. Remember every Monday morning I’d call; we’d talk about five things we hoped to accomplish that week? The first four were always the same: 1. Make progress on a current writing project. 2. Bible Study. 3. Progress on my current knitting pro...
You know, Lord, two of us buzzed downtown to shop. The parking lot was full as well as the store. As we walked in, an older man was ready to put his cart in the cart-well. Along came a lady who to us, seemed to need a cane. The man paused, looked at the lady, suggested she take his cart and said, ‘I’ve used this a bit so the handle is nice and warm.” She smiled, thanked him, took the cart and went in the store. [A blessing!] One walkway near the candy aisle was full but down at the end near the exit door, we heard some kids and saw a man and l...
You know, Lord, a while back a gal shared a letter her friend had sent to her, sharing about a note to Dear Abby. Not sure of time or date given but it was pretty cool, so, just sharing for April – so here goes: “Dear Abby: A friend of mine sent this to me. He’d torn it from his church bulletin. He says the author is unknown. Too bad, because I’d like to give this contemporary a big hug. Just sign me ... GETTING THERE ... “OLD FOLKS ARE WORTH A FORTUNE: Old folks are worth a fortune: With silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in...
Bear Paw School, a K-8 rural school currently serving eight students. In our classroom, we prioritize agricultural education to help students relate the curriculum to their lived experiences and apply learning to real-world skills. To support this, we have been wanting a greenhouse, as our current classroom environment is not conducive to growing plants. This addition will allow us to conduct farm-to-table lessons and help students make meaningful connections with their studies. I am pleased to...
Gently gliding down a flowing river The wind blowing through surrounding trees Bringing the applause of leaves Fingers in the cool water world Leaning over the canoe Nothing to do Save feel the breeze, chilling and crisp Romance on the morning’s rays Weaving spells betwixt and between the pair Dream-light misting the air Wood-ducks oblivious to the changing hues of life A handsome suitor with wooden oars Gazing intently at flushed cheeks— Willing captive that week; Sitting quietly in the panorama of nature’s parlor...
Silken webs weave through the grass Sparkling like the sun on glass Summer on a winter day Wakens what must stir in May. Where morning hours laid the frost, Now the spiders’ strings are crossed For heated fingers of the light Melted off the breath of night....
You know, dear Lord, it was enjoyable when a long-ago school friend, Maddie, now from out of state, stopped in to visit. She shared that she’d just been ‘blindfolded’ which reminded her of when she was in high school. She said, “DO you remember meeting Sally Ann in the early 1950’s? You and I were in different ‘grades’ but we did seem to know most all the guys and gals, way back then. So, I’ll just share that ‘time’ with you now, as I’m sure you weren’t involved with the blindfolding of Sally Ann. We knocked on the door, Sally Ann was sur...
You know, dear Lord, Kathi popped over to share about a short visit she’d had with her out-of-state grandkids. She was pretty sure they didn’t know a thing about buying a shovel or checking ANYTHING IN their car, let alone waxing a car in OUR kind of winter weather as their weather was always warmer than our North Country weather. She laughed and said it had been a fun time for or WITH them making Snow Angels, and them wondering WHERE their mittens were. They had fun making a snowman, throwing snowballs, plus sledding down their kin...
I will remember you Even when the sky is blue Though the storm has ceased You remain in my heart. I can recall your smile Even through the while New faces flood my way And yet, I see you still I hear people say your name But it’s not the same When you aren’t here by me To acknowledge the address I miss you so much I ache for one more touch You’ve been gone for a time Yet I still expect you to walk through the door....
You know, Lord, a friend shared that she’d read about Food – and that THAT word FOOD, is in the lesser-known, sixth love language. We didn’t elaborate on THAT, but us girls did KNOW that food is a powerful love language. ‘Cassie’ went on to share how preparing food demonstrates our love; and receiving food prepared for us, well, how about THAT, then we also can feel loved. We giggled and thanked her for bringing some interesting Cheese Biscuits, which she’d brought to share with us. She shared a few stories about how she’d been a part of Food...
You know, Lord, it was fun to listen to friends share about their children. One gal, ‘J. C. ‘, shared that her little girl loved trees and leaves and flowers and would pause, occasionally, and look to heaven and thank the Lord for the beauty. ‘J.C.’ said that once she heard her daughter, while she was kneeling and looking up into the trees: “Lord, Grandma said that YOU have said, about 30 or more times in the Bible, that YOU know or count the hairs on our heads, that You know their number. So, Father God, I’m just asking, do You also know h...

You know, Lord, some kids nearby were sharing how they’d heard how some use the Alphabet when talking so they decided to try it, so here goes. “All I want for Breakfast is some Chocolate milk Daddy, please; eventhough Fannie next door, would prefer sharing tea.” “Hey, don’t forget GOD! Heaven is His Home; He gave us Jesus who said that He was the way, the truth and the light.” “Someone’s knocking at the door; Leila, go see who that could be. Maybe it’s the neighbor boy, he likes to come over to visit.” We heard him say, ‘PLEASE, may I quic...

This spring and into the summer, the Chinook Board of Trustees began the process of addressing lower funding levels following consecutive years of failed levies that have, historically, been authorized by voters to help the school operate. The $115,000 in lost funding normally offset facility and technology related expenses. The school district is also facing a $30,000 cut in Title related funding from the U.S. Department of Education, which covers 1 full-time support staff position. The district’s health insurance premiums increased by 7.8%, w...

After the group arrived in the city, they gathered themselves at their Airbnb rental. The group then attended dinner at Si Señor, a Mexican Restaurant, where they...
Angry Eyes You’re so right for each other, why can’t you get along? Designed to be together, yet you do each other wrong. Let go of your pride, it’s been tearing you apart! You should step up the forgiveness or you’ll both have broken hearts! Look at what you’re doing— is it worth the fight? Don’t use your words as weapons unless the reason’s right. Open up your eyes. Find the reason for the pain. Face it, embrace it, name it so it’s plain. Forget about what’s useless— don’t even waste your breath. Silent treatment, angry eyes, will drag l...
