One of my husband’s favorite travel shows to watch on the television is “Adventures with a Purpose.” It got me to thinking about what a farm wife’s “Adventures with a Purpose” would be. Adventure means an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. Thinking back to my farm wife “Adventures with a Purpose,” through the years those adventures would be numerous. There are the times when called to come outside to the hog pens and help separate and load hogs in order to get them into the truck or trailer would certainly be a...

However, should I decide to risk life and limb at the rink, I still have the shoe skates I purchased when the Simic opened in 1979. As...
Q: If someone hasn’t heard what the Bible says about what it takes to be saved, how can that be their fault? Will they go to heaven anyway? A: Before we can understand the answer to this question, I have to lay some groundwork about God, His rules, and our fallen nature.

Because God made us, He gets to make the rules that govern our lives and He decides the consequences for breaking them. The rules are fairly simple: those who do good are rewarded and thos...
“Bigger is Better!” How often have we heard that phrase? I thought of it on Thanksgiving Day while watching the parade in New York. If I remember correctly, that Thanksgiving Day Parade has always be noted at “the” parade in beauty, length and enjoyment. I have not watched every year, but I did see most of the parade this year. And . . . I was disappointed. It was not a “parade,” it was an event organized for a T V audience and for that purpose, and I was not impressed. I have also witnessed many a high school parade, usually for the homecom...
