When we think of something that is pure, we usually think of it as the real deal, authentic, or genuine. This next Beatitude states that the “pure in heart” will see God. Christians are many times labeled as hypocrites because people may see them not living the way of righteousness that the Lord teaches us. Being a hypocrite about any ideology can often be categorized as not being true to that way of thinking. People would see such a person as not the real deal, not authentic, or not true to the type of person they claim to be. Jesus, in the...

“Didn’t need no welfare state, everybody pulled their weight, gee our old LaSalle ran great, those were the days.” –All In The Family, 1971. The LaSalle was a great car, easy to work on and long lasting, unlike today’s cars and appliances that don’t stay serviceable as long or are as user friendly for repairs. What are the factors that have led appliances to the list of disposable products? You may remember Jesse White who portrayed the lonely Maytag Repairman from 1967 to 1988. “Maytag, th...
Remember the old TV cartoon “Popeye The Sailor Man?” He had a favorite saying: “I yam what I yam and dat’s all I yam.” And poor old Olive Oyl could never get him to see himself any other way. A popular song put out in the last few years made me remember Popeye and how wrong he was. The lyrics have a repeating line in the chorus: “I am who I am because the I AM tells me who I am.” Word salad? Not at all. Broken down, that one sentence says so much about you. Those seven little words are say...
While my articles often touch on moral and/or societal issues, I usually try to avoid explicitly discussing religion. However, as we have just begun a new year and are expected to have forgiveness in our hearts and good will toward our fellow man, it seems appropriate. Today, I do want to discuss religion, and in particular, challenges to one’s spirituality. When you know what you are supposed to do according to the Bible, but that guidance is in direct conflict with what you feel and think a...
The elm trees at home are budding out, so spring has officially sprung, right? I don’t know if I believe that 100 percent, but we started some tomato and pepper seeds this weekend and man it felt good. The winter blues seem to drag on sometimes, probably because the lack of Vitamin D, but before we know it spring really will have sprung and grass will be greening up and it will be time to get plants in the ground. It is my favorite time of the year on the farm. The biggest bunch of calves will start to be born. The grass and other vegetation wi...
When members of the rock group The Cyrkle began making music in 1966, fame came quickly. The band’s first album peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard charts while producing two hit singles. Their first hit song, “Red Rubber Ball,” went to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 rock charts, and “Turn-Down Day” rose to No. 16. Things could hardly have looked much rosier for the quartet’s young male bandmates. Before 1966 ended, the group released a second album which did not do as well as their first effor...
