Keep Thanksgiving, family and friends alive

Dear Editor, Joe Biden or Donald Trump will never visit me in my home, stand beside me at the funeral home or dance at my wedding. I will not be receiving any calls from either of them to pray for me during sickness or to check on how my children are doing. I probably will never sit in a room with them to visit, laugh and tell funny stories or just to hang out over a cup of coffee. I do not personally know either one. I welcome the opportunity to visit with either of them, but doubt it will…

After 30 minutes I called 911 and talked the a dispatcher, and I was transferred. Within about 10 minutes a fire…

The Sun is Shining

Dear Editor, The Sun is shining today and will rise tomorrow. For more years than we know the Sun has followed this same pattern. The rising Sun is a good pattern for all of us. We know each day we can count on the Sun. Somedays the Sun is hidden by clouds but it’s there. Too often we forget to notice the Sun. Often it feels too hot or we wish it would warm up. We are never completely satisfied with the job the Sun does. Too hot, not hot enough. Too bright. Through all of our life’s discontents with…
