David Otten: The father-child relationship in prayer

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. For just shy of 2,000 years, Christians of all flavors have prayed the Lord's Prayer. Thomas O'Loughlin author of the book, "The Didache: A Window on the Earliest Christians," writes, "It is one of the few elements in Christians' worship today where one can get widespread agreement (more or less) about what to do or say: at the suggestion that a group recite the Lord's Prayer, most will both agree to the suggestion and be able to say it." (Page 76).

Elizabeth Woodworth: Why is corn supposed to be knee high by the Fourth?

Light frost is only four weeks away along the Canadian border, seven weeks away in the lower Midwest, and 12 weeks away in the South. (By my reckoning that is the first week in September. I hope not, am not yet ready for fall and winter.) In late July the day's length falls below 14 hours. The Sun has entered the Late Summer sign of Leo. In the eastern sky, the stars of the Summer Triangle move into position for Late Summer. The easiest of these three stars to find is Deneb, which is the larger "tail" star of Cygnus the swan (shaped like a large bird in flight, its long neck pointing to the south.) To the right of Deneb lies Vega, the brightest star overhead these nights. The third corner of the triangle is Altair, below and about halfway between the two corners. The nights of July 28 and 29 bring the Delta Aquarids after midnight in Aquarius. This shower can bring up to 20 meteors in and hour. (Countryside) Reminder: The summer lunch program will run through Friday, Aug. 3.

David Otten: Sanctify your time

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. Mary and Martha were two sisters who knew Jesus, and in Luke 10 we read that Jesus makes a call on them. Their reaction to Jesus is different. Mary wishes to listen to Jesus while Martha's older sister traits kick in and she begins to prepare a meal. Martha grows frustrated with the fact that she is doing all the work while Mary is just sitting there. Martha politely asks Jesus to have Mary help her, but Jesus tells her that she is too anxious about many things and Mary has chosen the "good portion" and it shall not be taken from her.

David Otten: Religion is part of our heritage of freedom

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. Our nation celebrates her birthday this week and the theme which will be heard the loudest is "freedom." America has in many ways become the standard that other nations and peoples have used to judge how freedom is understood and practiced in their own lands.

Elizabeth Woodworth: Still eating the southern Illinois way

Today on July 3, the Earth reaches aphelion, the point at which it is farthest from the Sun. On the 4th the Moon reaches perigee, its position closest to Earth. July 4 is Independence Day in the U.S. Early black raspberries, mulberries, elderberries and the first wave of summer apples, peaches, and wild grapes should be appearing on bush, tree and in the market. Under the dark moon of July's first week, seed or set out the autumn garden with carrots, turnips, beets, collards, kale and broccoli. Fertilize and water your pansies and mums for late August and September blooms. Don't cut the lawn too short, while the summer is at its peak; let it rest a little longer than you would in May or June. (Countryside) For a simple twist on s'mores, no campfire or stove needed. Fill a large mug or treat bag with a mix of Golden Grahams cereal, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Easy and will delight the kids, but long time Girl Scouts will be disappointed. Mom wouldn't like them. I learned from her to toast marshmallows over a gas burner, or to put a pie pan full of them in the oven until brown and gooey.
