Currently our country roads are sloppy, mushy and rutty making it difficult to travel on. All the rain followed by snow, then freezing temperatures and now receiving warmer temperatures have the roads thawing, snow melting and for the next few days...

When I began work at The Express, several pieces of equipment more than 70 years old were still in use. Typesetting equipment in daily use ranged from 40 to 50 years old but the process had begun to update the typesetting department. I remember...

Q: I’m having a hard time forgiving someone in my life; is there anything in the Bible that can help me? The word forgiveness in the Bible is a financial term that refers to the cancellation of a debt. If you sin against someone else, the Bible s...

I don’t have the records to check but I’m guessing January, 2024, has to be unique in some way. Our days of below zero temperatures and consecutive foggy days has to be some sort of record. That’s how I feel but every year is different and there...

What a crummy week I’ve had. It all started last Wednesday after picking up my deliveries. A mile and a half south of Nelson, my car broke down. Our family car has never given us any problems, never even a check engine light, so it was a big s...

The moment the doors are opened to the shoppe, one can breathe in the heavenly aroma of cinnamon rolls. Packaged in clear containers are individual sizes and pans with four jumbo cinnamon rolls. All looking too good to eat with the cinnamon peering t...

Sunday morning did not work out as planned. My farmer husband had gone another direction than I was wanting to go. I prepared to attend church up north. Since church had been called off last Sunday because of the weather, I was looking forward to...

Many of the elderly frail ones die in the winter time. Grandpa A. J. always said, “If I can make it through March, I can live another year.” There were five deaths all in their eighties in one week. Rose, 83, has had Alzheimer’s disease and has b...

Q: What does the phrase “’Vengeance is Mine,’ says the Lord.” really mean? A: “Vengeance is mine,” Is an oft repeated promise from God to right the wrongs that surround us in this world (Deuteronomy 32:35; Psalm 94:1; Romans 12:19). Any time we see...

While gathering information for this week’s installment of the First National Bank failure series an advertisement placed in the Nuckolls County Herald in 1904 caught my attention. I don’t know about you but I am tired of winter and having to dea...

Every so often a person reads, or hears, or sees something that strikes him in a particular way. It may be humorous, serious, or just plain interesting. A couple of items caught my attention this past weekend which I’d like to pass on. You may t...

Now that it’s warmed up just a bit, Duke is enjoying the snow. I’m surprised he doesn’t have tunnels burrowed in the backyard, as sometimes all I see of him is his rear end sticking up out of the snow drifts. Unfortunately, he doesn’t stay still l...

This week there seems to be three main subjects being considered. They are the results of the Iowa Caucus, who will the Chiefs be playing in the next division game, and snow...when will it quit, when will school be held again, and if the country...

Our house in Pennsylvania was in a valley at the foot of three large hills (probably considered mountains out here on the prairie.) The one to the east had a gentle slope with several rolling hills. Behind the house, facing south, was a hill with...

Q: The Bible says, “Blessed are the meek.” When I look around at real life it doesn’t seem like the meek are being blessed, it seems like they’re getting passed over. How can this verse be true when experience seems to show the opposite? A: The tru...

Something to talk about . . . The weather . . . This was one of the major things that impressed my sister-in-law who was born and raised in Chicago. On one of her first trips to Nebraska, she was impressed with how people talked about the weather....

Last Wednesday, while I was making my paper deliveries, I slipped and fell. Falling on ice is so weird, one second you are upright, walking, minding your own business, and the next you’re on the ground looking at the sky. I thought I had broken my f...

Monday, looking out the window, there was snow covering everything, even the country roads. It was a much needed wet snow and floating down were the biggest snowflakes. The limbs of the trees were covered, the roofs of the farm outbuildings were...

As you know, I’ve used statements from books I’ve read that somehow relate to our current living conditions. I’m currently coming to the end of a good book called “The Universe Behind Barbed Wire.” The book is the memoirs of a Ukrainian Soviet dissid...

We got a ton of the heavy, wet, fluffy, white stuff yesterday morning. I’m not sure how much though. I scooped about three inches off the sidewalk around 11 a.m., and a couple more filled in its place, so my best guess was about five inches. I...

Q: What does it really mean to love God? A: The first thing to know about love is that the Bible sets God Himself forward as the ultimate example of what it means to love (I John 4:8). This is one reason why love is so difficult to define: to...

I was shocked this week when an 18-year-old woman visiting the newspaper office asked if she could touch and closely examine the Burroughs cash register that sits on our front counter. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with that machine since I j...

After Christmas thoughts turned to remembering special Christmas gifts from the past, including childhood years. It was during the week after Christmas while still on school vacation, that children got the chance to enjoy and play with their new...
