“That You May Believe”
“That You May Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” That is the goal of John in writing his Gospel and it’s the theme of his Gospel and it’s the goal of the Holy Spirit in inspiring the Book to be written. Every account written for us in the Gospels has but one goal – and that is faith – and faith has but one goal – and that is salvation! But the faith is not an empty willingness to believe without evidence.
Paid Election Letter
I had long considered myself what would be described today as an “old school” South Dakota Moderate Democrat with my maternal side of the family especially having deep roots in the state party with volunteering and also being devout Roman Catholics. Many of us including myself were educated in Catholic schools taught by priests along with Presentation and Benedictine nuns who to me epitomized service to others.
Hans Zahrbock, Campaign Chair
I’m extremely excited to be sending a letter to the editor about something I really care about, and that is the United Way of Southwest Minnesota (UWSWMN). My wife Shana and I moved to Marshall in 1994 and raised two great kids Sadie Zahrbock Schaeffer and Simon Zahrbock, and we are proud to call this area HOME.
Faye Harms
I attended a funeral for my niece at Trinity Lutheran Church in Montevideo last Saturday. I was completely appalled and disturbed by the message.
Beyond Reason
My Daughter Friends have asked why I haven’t written about my four-year-old daughter. Some know me as a doting dad and conjectured that I was too deeply in love to make fun of her.
Prairie Notebook
While trying to find ways to rescue my failed effort to make apple jelly, I came across several simple, but clever hacks that can be used to pull off some of our seasonal cooking projects. I’m sure many life-long prairie kitchen cooks already know these, but I thought I’d share them just the same.
RECIPE
OF THE WEEK Note from Myrna: This recipe as taught to me by a Latina friend. Use the long grain rice because short grain is sticky.
