    Is there any habit harder to break than harboring a grudge against an old adversary? Yet burying hatchets is exactly what it might take to conserve our wildlife, in the face of ever-increasing pressures on the places they need to survive. Consider grizzly bears. In 1973, grizzlies were on a steep decline and headed for the list of threatened species. Wolves were almost extirpated from the West. As that story was told, its villains were often the folks in the cowboy hats. It was an old tale that cattle and predators didn’t mix. E...

  • Just Ask Georgia: 2/14/2024

    GEORGIA|Feb 14, 2024

    Georgia, I have a question, I’m a mom to a little girl named Jubilee Sunflower Fern and I wanted to get her her first pet. I’m stuck between if I should get her a raccoon or a badger. She’s three years old so I think those would be my best options as she was born out in the woods, and has always loved wildlife. My friends tell me I’m being dumb and that I should just get a kitten.

  • CONNECTING POINT: The Proper Prescription

    BILL LANES|Feb 14, 2024

    A large percentage of us are used to hospital trips, either regular doctor’s appointments or even periodic emergency room visits. As a pastor, I’m accustomed to visiting people in these circumstances, some for routine care and others in serious condition. Although this is a familiar practice, I wouldn’t dare say I’m comfortable, mostly recognizing that those I visit are experiencing pain and discomfort. To be candid, there are times when I don’t have what seems to be the “right” words, however, being present can be a source of comfort for t...
