“If you’re offered food, and you decide to accept it and take a bite, you’d better finish eating the entire offering.” Now, I’m not sure if that preceding line was a commandment in other homes, but it sure was in mine as I was growing up. My mom would add, “It’s rude to taste something that a woman bakes and then not finish eating it.” As I grew older, I deduced that my parents were not only concerned about hurting others’ feelings, but their thoughts on the consumption of food were also a result of them growing up during the Great Depression w...
Breeanna Lindstrom received an envelope in the mail. It was obviously from Jonathon Wellington, her friend Jade’s husband. Perhaps it was a thank you note. Jade had just passed away. Breeanna, Jade, Lizzie, and Susie and Marybell had been close friends. They were writers and had formed a close bond over writing. Each had received an envelope. Breeanna ripped her envelope open. It was not a thank you but a check for $10,000. Each had received a check in their envelope. Jade wanted them to use the money to finally make their dream trip to I...

Imagine: You just said or did something very hurtful to your dearest loved one. What is worse is you knew it would be hurtful and even intended it to be so. But, you did it anyway, then left in a huff and were gone all day. It was a miserable day. You could not even call to apologize. Calling would not be best anyway. You need to do this in person, face to face. You were going to see this loved one tonight. As soon as you caught sight of them across the room, you went right to them and began to apologize. Perhaps tears came to your eyes and to...

Many years ago when I was young, I ran into a couple of men who spent a great deal of time outdoors. They especially enjoyed rifle deer season, spending as much time in pursuit of whitetails as they could throughout the season. They would have been heroes to today’s deer managers, who advocate the slaughter of deer. However, at that time, hunters could legally kill only one deer per year. Another of their favorite activities involved questionable fishing. They told tales of catching huge trout from large reservoirs. They did this fishing at n...
The 2023-24 deer seasons ended months ago as did the busiest time for chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance. CWD, a fatal neurological disease, is a threat to both white-tailed deer and elk and has been detected within the wild deer population in several areas of Pennsylvania. While the most intense efforts revolve around Pennsylvania’s deer hunting seasons, monitoring for CWD is a year-round endeavor. The public can view the results of these efforts on the CWD Surveillance Dashboard available online at https://pgcdatac...

I hope that you are in a good mood as you begin to read this article. That is because today I’m going to look at quotations on an interesting topic. Maybe it’s appropriate because the school year is just around the corner. And for my fellow Pittsburgh Pirate fans it is certainly a topic worth discussing. Whether you are a school teacher, student or long-suffering Bucco fan, perhaps you are feeling a little sad as summer fades. Sadness is something that I want to consider. Please note that some of the quotations I will refer to today are not...
This summer, some sermons in our Sunday morning worship were devoted to attempting to sort out an issue which can be confusing and frightening for many – transgenderism. As followers of Jesus we want to be loyal to the Bible and to interpret it accurately, doing our best to honor what it meant to the original audience, and not trying to read new meanings into the words on the page. And we also know we want to love people and show compassion without compromising the positions represented in Holy Scripture. Psalm 119:105 says to God, “Your Wor...
