It’s easy these days to focus on worries. The 24 hour news cycle constantly reminds us of troubles. In the old days of journalism there was a saying, “If it bleeds, it leads.” In other words, if it’s bad or dramatic news it gets priority. Sometimes in the deluge of negatives I find it useful to take note of things for which I can be grateful. I’m always grateful for family and friends. I’ve recently begun getting to know a new person, a new friend, which always gives me the feeling I’ve just s...
This past weekend was a great time for our church family to show love and appreciation to each other, to the community, and to strangers who took a chance to come hang out with us at the Wolf Creek School Saturday evening. As you know from my past several “Musings”, life has been a challenge for me and Lisa. But we are so thankful that we have a family that extends way beyond our genetic blood relatives. It is the family of God. If you think that church is nothing but boredom, crabby peo...
Researchers estimate that 100,000 churches will close in the next few decades1. Another source estimates that at least 1,000,000 are attending churches that are declining or plateaued2. The question that needs to be asked by you is “Am I currently attending a church at risk of closing, or a plateaued church?” If the answer is yes, there’s something you can do. The early church described in Acts 2 in the Bible serves as the best model. It was a growing church, a serving church, a connected church, a worshiping church and a church going out to sp...

This past Saturday, the Badgers traveled to Ft. Benton to battle the perennial-ranked Longhorns. The Badgers had prepared all week, knowing this contest would be a knock-down, drag-out fight. The Longhorns won the toss and deferred to the second half, sending the opening kickoff to the Badgers. Peyton Hauk returned the kick to the 15-yard line, and the Badger offense took the field. After three hard runs, the Badgers came up short on yardage and punted back to the Longhorns. The Longhorns...

We hear it on the radio. We see it on TV. We get the fliers in the mail. We see the billboards. And you know, through time the mudslinging and questionable actions have always been a tad bit ugly and often quite malicious at times. If you think it is bad now, try taking a look at the viciousness of the past. Alexander Hamilton, the man whose image graces our ten-dollar bill, was born out of wedlock in 1755. A number of his political opponents made sure to remind the world of the circumstances of his birth. Perhaps foremost among these...
