In Hill County, election results typically take only a few hours. However, during the 2026 Primary Election, it took more than 24 hours following the close of polls for unofficial results to be confirmed. We reached out to Ryleigh Keeler, Hill County Election Deputy, to find out what happened and why the results were not available sooner. Keeler said the day began like a typical election day. Absentee ballots were either mailed in advance or delivered directly by absentee voters to the Hill County Courthouse. Ballots from polling locations were...

The recent rains across Blaine County have been a welcome sight not only for crops and pasture, but also for lawns, gardens, trees, and landscapes.

Now is a good time to think about irrigation and water management strategies that will help plants remain healthy as temperatures rise and...

In Joplin, a 55-year story of weeds, wind and community pride reaches a new milestone with the dedication of a Veterans Wall of Honor. It started with a troop of unruly boys and a field full of weeds. Fifty-five years ago, Priscilla Pimley, a Scout leader looking for a way to burn off her boys' excess energy and teach them to work for the good of the town, marched them over to an empty lot in the center of Joplin and put them to work pulling weeds. She didn't know it then, but she was planting...

Awhile ago I preached a message titled “I Am Healed.” Here are some highlights from that message: We have to be careful not to draw conclusions about the will of God based on bad experiences. Bad things happen all the time that God doesn’t desire.

The earthly reality of something doesn’t change God’s will. Most often something else is at work. As an illustra...
