The leader of the adult Lenten study course asked the class, “Who wants to read Luke 9: 57 to 62?” “I will,” one woman said, and read aloud, ”Someone said to Jesus, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ “And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but [I] have nowhere to lay [my] head.’ “To another he said, ‘Follow me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ “But Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ “Another said, ‘I will foll...
Tomorrow is Sunday and there is no football. I volunteered at church to usher for awhile hoping that shock would chase away the shock of no football. But things are still going on. Let’s look at some standings. That is a good place to start. In the Frontier League it is on the women’s side of things Lewis and Clark in first followed by Carroll. Northern is fourth followed by Rocky in fifth place. On the men’s side, it is Lewis and Clark in first followed by Carroll. Rocky is in fourth and Northern is in fifth. Looking at the woman’s side in the...
Not yet. We’re still wandering around this beautiful campus looking for the art museum. These streets are not streets; they are simply beautifully designed and maintained brick walkways which students can march down ten abreast and not feel crowded. It is not clear where the walkway goes but it is not to the parking lot of the art museum. We’ll turn around here and hope not to back over any students or into the concrete posts that make it clear that we can’t drive any farther. The map of the campus seems to say that the art museum is just...
This is a month of columns to send away the winter blues. One thing I do to feel better about winter is to eat Oriental take out once a week. That all started many years ago. When I was working part time at the Lou Lucke Company I would go to lunch once a week with Willie Garrahan at Tommy Woo’s Boston Café. There the Chop Souy was unbelievably good! I would ask Tommy what made it so good. He always said it was the gravy. I believed him. Many years later Laened Black made Chow Mein that tasted like the Chop Souy at the Boston. I asked her fo...
Have you had the experience that you hear a song once or twice and it runs through your head for days, or weeks? It is not a rare occurrence, yet I have never heard or read an explanation for it. The hymn, “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” has been my constant companion for over a year. It doesn’t leave me alone. Actually, I am not sure I want it to. The melody is beautiful and the words are loaded with poetry and Christian meaning. They were written by John Newton who also wrote “Amazing Grace.” Perhaps it is the mental images the words...

Although the month of January is usually much colder, this year's almost balmy weather played right into the scenario surrounding Harlem Elementary's Winter Luau showcase.

The Super Bowl is over and I am already into serious football withdrawal but there are other things happening that are neat to observe and write about. I don’t know at this writing who won the Super Bowl. More about that next week. For now I do know that some of the stories that attracted most of my attention were that Peyton Manning needed a hip replacement (can you imagine a starting quarterback in the NFL needing a hip replacement?) Probably that was not a true story although time will tell for sure. Then there was the strange fate of the P...

I had some good prime rib in the freezer since Christmas. I decided to cut it up and turn it into a Saturday night supper of beef Stroganoff. In the middle of my cutting the prime rib into strips, I got an inspiration. I remembered a meal that I had forgotten for years. It was my mother’s meal and one that we had in our family home at least once every two weeks for years and years. Mother called barbecued sirloin tops over rice. I call it barbecued prime rib tips over noodles. A word about the noodles. I prefer them to rice for this dish and f...

The American Red Cross has an emergency need for blood and platelet donors.
