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...

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...

I Remember I will remember you Even when the sky is blue Though the storm has ceased You remain in my heart.

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 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.

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 know, Lord, a friend shared about seeing goodness of folks while out shopping. If we’re paying attention, we might also see a ‘helping hand’. Last week, a short elderly lady, tried to reach a box of pasta off the top shelf in the grocery store; no way could she reach it. A lad near her, turned, asked if she needed help. She smiled, pointed to a certain ‘box’ – he grabbed it, handed it to her; she thanked him. He actually looked a bit surprised to hear her say, ‘THANK YOU!’ He smiled, nodded and walked off. To give a helping hand, to be a p...

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 with a littered alley in a crime-ridden neighborhood as a backdrop ...

You know, Lord, had to ‘eavesdrop’ a bit when a small group gathered. One lad said, “Auntie, some lady gave my mom a silly calendar with weird things written by each day. Mom opened it, looked things over, then started to laugh and said, ‘Laddy, would you believe on your birthday, in March, it shows that your day, the 23rd, it’s ‘Chip and Dip Day’ and neighbor, Helen’s day, the 1st, is Peanut Butter Lover’s Day.’ And look at this, the 3rd – which is Uncle John’s birthday, it shows that one is supposed to wear red?
