Few plants are identified with Christmas as the Christmas cactus is. Growing up I really had no idea what a Christmas cactus was. My grandmother had one, but to me it was just "that plant over there". It was pretty for a few weeks out of the year and I never understood why it was so special to her. It was only after I met Linda that I got an idea of what the Christmas cactus was and why it was so special to people. Her mom had several and one was absolutely HUGE. It dominated the bedroom it was...

This Christmas is more poignant than most for me. I have a nephew just entering the Air Force and facing his first Christmas away from home. It’s caused me to think back to when I went to basic training so long ago. I left just before Thanksgiving so I missed two holidays. Since I was a little older than most trainees it wasn’t as bad for me but I recall the distress that so many of the others felt. They were all fresh out of high school and most were pretty homesick. This is only one of many sacrifices that military members are called upo...
Christmas comes with a lot of beautiful things to help celebrate the season. Christmas trees, ornaments, wreaths and lights. Again, one way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! (Buddy the Elf) To accomplish this a group of dedicated ladies set out to go caroling. Last year it was so windy it was hard to even walk. But this year the Pine Bluffs United Methodist church had gotten a trailer and some hay bales. There were only six people but it sure was fun. The ladies knocked...

It doesn’t matter if you like the other person or not. What matters is that you treat them with respect as a human being and, in some cases, as a peer. That’s one of the reasons we use Robert’s Rules of Order to conduct public meetings, to keep them civil and respectful of others. We have a free society because our system encourages civil discourse and frown...
