As we finish up this week on the Beatitudes, we find that the last one is a little lengthier in description than the previous ones. One reason might be because, as the Christian lives out these calls to be Christ like, the world rejects any teaching that is tied to the son of God. Remember what Jesus said in all four of the gospels, twice in Matthew and John, that we will be hated by the world. Matthew 10:22 says, “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” This theme of being hated and...

“Everybody needs somebody to lean on.” – Traveling Wilburys (Roy Orbison/Tom Petty) 1988. Lean has multiple meanings from meat with little fat to efficient with little waste, but the Wilburys were talking about a verb, not an adjective. Their lyrics are a universal truth, a reminder of the beauty of inherent human connection. “Lean on me when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend and help you carry on.” – Bill Withers, 1972. This sentiment includes animals, who, though untamed, exhibit emotion...
Ever suddenly been transported back in time by just a whiff of a lingering smell in the air? The sight of a house?

Unless you suffer with complete amnesia, you have memories. Memories can flare instantly, caused by the basic human senses of taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing. All of us know what it is like to...
I was recently having a conversation with my son regarding my mother’s ancestors and how they came from Denmark to settle in Oklahoma. In thinking not just about my great-grandparents but also the others so similar to them, I noted how many of them struggled to bring with them some of the finer things, such as their china and silverware. They brought their possessions not just across the ocean, but also across the country. I think most modern people would consider these items to be extremely f...
Do you ever wonder why your ancestors settled where they did? Somewhere around here is an old article out of the Clark County Clipper about my great-great-grandfather, William Little. Now I’ve heard some stories about him that probably shouldn’t be repeated, but the story about why he settled in this part of the country is pretty interesting to me. He was an orphan from Illinois that originally came down to the Ashland area to homestead. On a trip he rode a horse down to what has become Ditch Valley and was enamored with the fertile valley of...
In 1931, Albert Brumley married Goldie Schell and the couple settled in her hometown of Powell, Missouri.

On several occasions, Albert was an employee of various music companies so that he earned a salary in addition to royalties from the recordings of his songs and from the hundreds of thousands of copies of song books that contained his com...
No pills will help this condition. This is the name for someone with fears about the number 13. What a good question to pose on game night. I was at Walmart the other evening, and when I came out there was a young lady putting oil in her truck. She seemed a little puzzled, so I asked if she needed any help. She told me no; her brother was going to help her. About then she answered the phone, put it on speaker, and was showing the engine to him by way of the camera, and he was giving her instruct...

What originally started as a plan to check off another box for the FFA National 3-Star Award Chapter has turned into so much...
