For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church Steve Hauer read “Is The Bible The Inspired Word of God?” The sermon topic was “A Friend’s Denial” referring to Peter. All four gospels tell about Peter when he denied knowing Jesus.

That is what we must do, too. When we make mistakes, we need to repent and ask forgive... Full story
There sure is a lot of nonsense going on. Leprechauns, pots of gold and such and on top of all of the that mother nature has been pretty wacky.

Although we have been enjoying the girls’ traveling basketball team competitions I am unashamed to say that I am happy that they are about to come to an end for this year. Our girls will play in Chadron this weekend, so you know what I will be up to! T...

The daughter of a successful children’s book writer, she helped edit her mother’s manuscripts from an early age but was not published herself until she was 57.
