God is truth and the greatest comforter; why deny someone in recovery this encouragement

Dear Editor: In response to the article in the Wednesday, October 12, 2022, Tribune article on page A3, regarding leaving Christ-centered part out of Cody’s House, I would like to make the following comments. It is apparent the author has not considered the source of the air she breaths or the complexity of her eyes which she uses every waking minute of her day and night, or many other complexities around us.

My memories of New York City

One of the greatest benefits of driving a truck is that you get to see some unbelievable sights. New York City is one of the places that I could have spent my time lost, which I was and loved every minute of it.

Making reading a good habit

One of my favorite pastel portraits, done many years ago, features two children who now have children of their own, reading. When I do children’s portraits, I like to ask them to select a favorite toy, or in this case, a favorite book.

Fear can sometimes get the best of us

Last week, on a sunny mid-morning, I went back home for something I had forgotten when I left earlier that day for work.

Look at that wolf!

The Macksville Mustangs took on the Skyline Thunderbirds last Friday, and used a multi-talented offense to rip off 50 unanswered points and booth their record to 7-0 for the season. “Well they did a nice job of stopping our rushing attack so we were able to throw the ball,” said Macksville head coach Kyle Bright.

Men’s soccer defend home field against Allen County

Pratt, Kan. - On Wednesday, October 12, the Pratt Community College Beavers hosted the #12 Red Devils of Allen County Community College. In what has become a rivalry between the two teams, last night’s match was not only for jockeying in the conference standings, but one where the Beavers were looking for revenge after having lost at Allen County 2-1 back on September 21.

LENEXA, KAN. – The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a solicitation for nominations to serve on its Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC), which advises EPA on critical environmental issues impacting local governments.

God speaks to us so we can share the blessing

Those of us who believe God created man tend to also believe that God also wants to communicate with us. It is sad that those who created their own god have a god who is deaf and dumb. They can not answer prayers or comfort or lead. What a sorry excuse for a god. But for us who follow a God who is personal, it is a true joy to experience a relationship with our very Creator.
