A year ago, an unknown virus entered America.


Covid 19 is on every headline throughout the world.


Air flights are banned too and from other countries. You can no longer leave your state.

Stocks are at an almost all-time low.


People cannot find toilet paper anywhere. Grocery shelves are bare.


Hospitals stop elective surgeries.


People are dying from the virus.


Amazon hires 100,000 people to keep up with online sales.


School sports are stopped, students are forced to learn from home.


Churches, businesses are all required to close.


Jobs are being lost. Anxiety rises.


The world was in a crisis.

Yet, families are home eating supper together for the first time in a long while.


Families are playing games.


We are learning how to do church on zoom.


People are seeking God; they are checking out church services online.

We all have memories from last year.

We all have memories from last year. Some we’ll hold dear, some tragic.


Our community knows all that was lost.


Despite the losses, our family gained two beautiful granddaughters and a lovely daughter-in-law.

What are your memories?


Did this past year change us in any way?


Have we grown closer to the Lord?


Is much of the USA still in a crisis?


Malachi’s introduction in the message states, ” Most of life is not lived in crisis-which is a good thing. Not many of us would be able to sustain a life of perpetual pain or loss, or challenge. But crisis has this to say for it: In a time of crisis, everything, absolutely everything, is important and significant. Life itself is on the line. No word is casual, no action marginal. And almost always, God and our relationship with God is on the front page.”


Why do we wait until a crisis, before God and our relationship is important?


“But during the humdrum times, when things are, as we say, “normal,” our interest in God is crowded to the margins of our lives, and we become preoccupied with ourselves. We manage our own personal affairs, disregarding what God has to say about them, going about our usual activities as if God were not involved in such dailiness.”


Can we let God into the dailiness of each day?


Until next time, Pam

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.

Most of the world’s discussion about peace today centers around the absence of wars between nations. We are past the anniversary of the Ukraine war; this world does not seem peaceful. But the Bible focuses on a different kind of peace. A personal peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us.
