Reflections: We are fearfully and wonderfully made

Recently, I heard an interview that talked about the nature of our tears. I knew that our tears kept our eyes moist and helped wash out a speck of dust (that feels like a boulder). We may shed them when we are happy, sad, angry and perhaps when we peel onions. However, I did not realize the ...

Reflections: Which is greater: Good or evil?

Our world is full of contrasts. We teach them to our children so that they have a better understanding of the world in which they live. They learn the word “up” when they want to be carried or “down” when they want to run free. We teach them clean and dirty, in and out, hot and cold as ...

Prairie Fare: Can weeds become part of your dinner?

I braced myself and tried to pull the weed. The weed was stronger than I was, and I almost fell backward onto the ground. “I could use a little help over here,” I called out to my husband, trimming the bushes. He glanced over and saw me struggling with a plant whose leaves were the size ...
