Liberal's leading source for news and views
Leading up to Christmas, we're focusing on God's words spoken through the prophet named Isaiah. Last week we learned that we can hope for change, because Jesus the Messiah brings light to a darkened world. This week, given the turmoil internationally and individually, we'll look at hope for healing in a damaged world.
Ah, deja vu all over again! I read the paper. Our “new” board members are the old guard in a new paint job. I’ll quote you a sentence from a feather merchant’s of “educational programs” sales pitch for another program. You tell me what it says:
“This year, we have focused on developing administrators’ instructional lens while providing specific feedback in bite-sized, actionable steps through observational feedback.”
“They don’t want us to say, ‘Merry Christmas.’”
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. Often, I just shake my head and ignore the statement. However, from time to time, I’ll indulge the individual and inquire: “Who is ‘they’?”
Usually, I am met with a blank scoff.
While Republicans suffered through several stages of grief four years ago when Donald Trump was not re-elected, Democrats are now facing their own grief a month after losing control of the White House.
I’m not sure what stage they are in, but many have accepted the fact that Trump will be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025.
This season’s first calf arrived a little over four weeks early this year. For humans this may not seem that impossible, but calves born more than four weeks early rarely live past a day or two. The little guy weighed in at 35 pounds, half the size of a typical newborn.
Our mama cows have great instincts and we typically don’t interfere unless they need help. Our premature calf was born to a heifer who was monitored more closely for her first delivery. Since the baby was tiny, it was a quick and uncomplicated birth.
