Columnists

I encountered two pieces of good luck this week which stick in my mind as I write this column. One, I attended a “fine arts” show at the civic center in Mankato. I went specifically to see a friend, a talented artist with the first name Annie who had a booth there. The two of us had taken care...
“Young people are the church of tomorrow.” is a phrase I have often heard repeated over and over again. In a way, this phrase is true. After all, unless the Lord calls them home, the young people of today who have received faith in Jesus Christ will also be the church of tomorrow. But young...
