In light of the recent tragic events across the nation over the last few months I’ve been asking myself many questions, primarily- am I prepared enough to protect myself and my loved ones for the evil that pervades our society? It’s a horrible reality that we can no longer go to the grocery store or to church without the possibility of something terrible happening. Now I won’t get into the politics of it all because that’s simply not my place. But I do want to encourage each and every one of you to thoughtfully consider how you want to prepare...

You could spend two, or even three, decades in retirement. So, to pay for all those years, you’ll probably need to take full advantage of your retirement accounts. And in 2022, you may have expanded opportunities to deduct retirement plan contributions on your tax return.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. James 2:14, 17 (NIV) “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” There are those who do everything they can to prove that the Bible is a contradictory work. They believe that if the Word counters itself, it is fallible,...

As an investor, you can easily feel frustrated to see short-term drops in your investment statements. But while you cannot control the market, you may find it helpful to review the factors you can control. Many forces affect the financial markets, including geopolitical events, corporate profits and interest rate movements – forces beyond the control of most individual investors. In any case, it’s important to focus on the things you can control, such as these: • Your ability to define your goals – One area in which you have total control...
Next Sunday (June 5, 2022), in most of our Churches, if not all, we celebrate the feast of Pentecost. Celebrating Pentecost is keeping the birthday of Christianity. It is a day on which we have the realization of a new life given to us by the Holy Spirit. Two visible symbols that manifested the power of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost are the strong wind and the flames of fire. “And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were” (Acts 2:2). God’s presence is revealed in a...

However, last June there were some fields in Kimball County that had reported heavy infestations of Russian wheat aphid in their fields and some required treatment. Additionally, we...

For those of you who are new to shooting or who don’t have a lot of experience, this article will walk through the fundamentals of shooting, including proper stance, grip, sight alignment, and trigger squeeze. I published this last summer but it’s always good to have a refresher on these basics! Stance: Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and in line with each other or with one foot slightly in front of the other, like a fighter’s stance. Make sure you have a slight bend in your knees. Your torso should be leaning forward, hinging from...

You might enjoy owning your home – but the mortgage? Not so much. In fact, you might want to do everything you can to pay it off as quickly as possible. But is that always the best strategy? In one sense, your mortgage can be considered a “good” debt because it’s backed by a tangible asset – your home – that has real value and may even gain further value. Furthermore, by historical standards, you’re probably paying a pretty low interest rate on your mortgage, so you’re getting a lot of benefit – a place to live and a potentially appre...
Memorial Day Weekend is coming. Some look at it as the first part of summer, with the annual trip to the Lake, fun in the sun, reunions and family fellowship. Some celebrate it as a holiday from working, a break in the monotony of making a living. Memorial Day is traditionally marked by parades, speeches, and ceremonies, and a time set aside for the decoration of the graves with flowers and flags, to honor and remember the nearly 1.1 million of our nation’s armed services personnel killed in wartime. And many families also remember those loved...
