There are realities that are easy to ignore. We ignore somethings because it makes us uncomfortable in a “I just can’t deal with that” way. And yet, we get reminded every so often. Black holes are those unbelievable dense places in space which gobble up anything that falls within their range.

This process accelerates radiation and particles at clos...

To vote or not to vote. That is the dilemma among some Christians. Some staunchly defend one or another candidate while believing such a candidate can remedy our nation’s problems. Of course, Christ followers know that Jesus is the answer. But until He returns, we remain — like it or not — a part of the body politic. Every four years comes the appeal for Christians to do their civic duty and vote. And every four years, millions do not. According to www.myfaithvotes.org, 25 million Christians registered to vote do not vote. Another 65 milli...
The #2 ranked Belt Huskies traveled south to Cascade on Saturday for some late-night football action. The Badgers won the toss and elected to kick.
