Observing Memorial Day

Memorial Day was born out of our nation’s most fractured and pivotal moment: the Civil War.Battered and worn after four years of internal strife, America nonetheless emerged intact in 1865, the dream of the Union preserved.

An ode to farmers

Spring in Nebraska brings the sight and sounds of tractors in the fields and the smell of freshly tilled earth. The truly oldest profession is farming! Right away in Genesis 2:15, God puts Adam in the garden to “work it and take care of it.

Reflections on the National Day of Prayer

Last Thursday May 2 was the National Day of Prayer and I was privileged to be asked to participate in a prayer breakfast that day in our district. It is laudable that we, as a nation, designate a day to focus on prayers to the God of Heaven.
