OPINION: Seeding memories for tomorrow
Well, it's finally over. Where did it go? How and why did we have to endure a year like the last one? Maybe, just maybe, we're in for a change and will see the good old USA get back to what it's meant to be.

OPINION: Don't shoot the cow until you try her one more time!
We still have the steers, and they are to be loaded this weekend. All the family has been here and are wanting to come back for the day since it will be on a Saturday, but sometimes wanting to and doing are miles apart. That is the story with the college grand, and I am sorry but his education is for other than producing beef! My close relative has put the word out about a chili dinner with pie desserts and that sure suits me.

Collusion with socialist Russia is nothing new in U.S.
Most understand that socialism conquered its first country, Russia, in 1917 under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and has always been a revolutionary doctrine never content to allow any people to choose another way. Eighteen months later it was organized to do the same in America. Yes, colluding with Russia has been a part of our history for more than 100 years, but it has been the socialists who colluded. We see three times in the 20th century when its imprint was most evident: after World War I, after World War II and during the Vietnam War. Space permits only a brief summation of each.

Are you about your heavenly Father's business?
"Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, 'Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.' And He said to them, 'Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?' But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them." Luke 2:46-50 (Read Luke 2:41-52)

RELIGION: Christmas can bring unending joy
Though Christmas of 2019 is now history, church services and celebrations are over, gifts have been opened -- some broken and others exchanged or packed away -- and children are back in school and the rest of us back to full workweeks, the real reason for Christmas can bring us joy which lasts the whole year through.

RELIGION: How do you respond to Jesus' coming?
"Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." Matthew 2:1-2 (read verses 1-23)
