I’m so excited! Jacob will be home in a little over a week. I’m not sure if he will stay at the house this visit, but it will be nice to see him in person and give him a big long hug. I do hope that he and his wifey will stay a night or two, but if...

In the days before children’s attention was drawn to playing computer games and they had their faces buried in their cell phones, there were some pretty interesting youth games played. Growing up, some of my generation played many physical games t...

Q: What does the Bible have to say about anger? Is it a sin to be angry? A: The Christian’s ultimate standard for right and wrong is the character of God Himself (see Matthew 5:48 for one example). This gives us a solid basis for saying that it is n...

I have attended what I consider “my fair share” of funerals over the years. There are several that stand out to me for one reason or another. Funerals of family members, of course, maybe stand out the most, but one of the first one I remember was...

It’s a nice warm blustery Monday and I’m waiting for the weather radio to tell me we are in one type of severe weather watch or the other for it feels like that kind of day. I was hoping for more spring-like weather, like 60 degrees during the day...

Rural entertainment has picked up on the Schlaefli farmstead. A few days ago our neighbor turned his cow-calf herd out in the field directly across the road from our house. The cows seem content as there is plenty to eat as they are stationed in a...

There are things about my memories that I don’t understand. In recent days I have been researching the history of two Commercial Avenue buildings, the former Carnegie Public Library building at Fourth and Commercial and the former Masonic Lodge b...

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BAD NEWS IS NOT THE ONLY NEWS I introduced you to the phrase above last week. I did not come up with the format of the phrase, I just came across it recently and wanted all of you to have an understanding of it before the...

I completely overdid this weekend and have myself feeling like crud again. We were hosting Easter dinner, and the dust bunnies were beginning to get somewhat aggressive. The last thing I wanted was to serve mashed potatoes a’la’cat hair, so I sta...

As a young lad my father always wanted a pony. The family owned a summer house on the ocean with a fair–sized lot. The lot was at the edge of town with a sheep farm across the road from the house and a large field beside it. The main problem with hav...

Last week’s entries in this space about the building of the Simic roller skating rink caused readers to ask about previous roller skating rinks. I don’t have the answers to all their questions but here is some information I gathered from the new...

We have been talking about ways to keep a car cool in the hot weather before air conditioning came into use. Of course, the easiest way to feel the breeze was to own a convertible (often known as a “Rag Top”) because it had a cover which could be...

Q: Is it sinful to have doubts or questions about God? If so, how can I get rid of them? A: It is not sinful to have doubts or questions about God. There are far too many examples in Scripture of godly believers sharing their struggles with God and...

I’ve watched my share of basketball lately, most of it being high school and college action. Last week, as I was watching the Cornhuskers play, a thought came to mind after watching those “big” men bump into each other. Many years ago, I remem...

I was hoping to avoid the spring crud that I typically get this time of year, but unfortunately, it found me. I was feeling tired and run down for several days. Then over the weekend into Monday, I was having dizzy spells and had an upset tummy. I’m...

This week I attended a memorial service honoring a fellow club member and friend of my mother’s. As her obituary was read, it was said she was a member of the Young Matron’s Club. Chuckles went up from those in attendance as a remark was made abo...
