  • How Did So Much Stuff Pile Up?

    RICH WANDSCHNEIDER, Writers on the Range|May 1, 2024

    A few years ago, I turned a carport into a bedroom. But first, I had to empty the carport of books, papers, furniture, rugs, and tools. Then, I took it all to a storage unit, where rent was $50 a month. After three years of thinking about it, and only occasionally pawing through the storage unit for a lost item, I finally sorted out a handful of books and items that meant something—I could have fit them in a suitcase!—and held a yard sale for the rest. I think about that when I see storage facilities spreading and expanding nationwide. At lea...

While grilled cheese may seem like simple fare, there are some techniques to make it even more delicious. This includes strategies to make it golden brown with perfectly melted cheese. When preparing grilled cheese, you do not want to rush the process and end up with burnt bread. Try placing the grilled cheese in a cold pan and then...

  • Just Ask Georgia: 5/1/2024

    GEORGIA|May 1, 2024

    Georgia, I have a question, I have a relative whom we always invite to dinner parties, whether for a holiday or just for fun. She always replies that she’d be happy to attend. My issue is that she doesn’t eat our meals. She will place a small amount of food on her plate and maybe eat half. Her excuse is always that she’s not hungry at the moment. She behaves this way at the homes of other relatives, too. Also, when we go to restaurants, she never finishes her plate. I think she’s being rude in accepting a dinner invitation and never eating....

  • CONNECTING POINT: The Character Test

    BILL LANES|May 1, 2024

    We all have good days and bad days, but our character is constantly tested through every experience. I would say the test is much more difficult in the latter. Life is good when you’re on “Cloud 9.” Jesus makes this point in his teachings about loving one’s enemy and the danger of being hypercritical of others. We must be cautious about lambasting others, sometimes the plank is in our own eye. There is a place for correct judgment while incorrect or harsh judgment is off the table. Within the context of the church Paul states that judgmen...
