Pet of the Week: Pepper is a beautiful Tortoiseshell domestic short hair

Pepper is a 6-month-old Tortoiseshell domestic short hair cat. Not only is she beautiful, but she's playful, too! She gets along well with the other cats and would love a new home of her own. Pepper is house trained and her vaccinations are up to date. She has been spayed.

Elizabeth Woodworth: Summer fire pit is perfect for a new spin on s'mores

The Turtle hatching Moon is full today. This could contribute to unseasonably cold and unstable meteorological conditions. Don't know about the cold, but unstable weather is a given. The final weather system of June is often followed by the Corn Tassel Rains, a two-week period of intermittent precipitation that accompanies the Dog Days of Middle Sumner. The final two days of June are something of the colder of the year's midsection; highs below 80 degrees coming more than half the time above the border states.

David Otten: The importance of St. John the Baptist

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. This last Sunday was the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist. Christians through the ages have reserved churchwide celebration of birthdays to only two other individuals, Mary and Jesus.

Nation's first wheelchair-accessible ballon coming to Lisle's Eyes to the Skies festival

When you visit Lisle's Eyes to the Skies festival this weekend, you're pretty much guaranteed to see hot-air balloons of all shapes and sizes. But there's one balloon that will be on display in Community Park near Route 53 and Short Stteet that's just a little more special. It's called Serena's Song.

David Otten: You can take the teeth out of your stress

Stress is a common concern; it can be detrimental to one's health, mental state and spiritual life, yet stress can also have positive results, such as pushing you forward to complete a job. Stress can be managed whether you are a Christian or not. Stress management classes, both Christian and non-Christian, will have several similarities, but I believe the Christian has resources available to them that non-Christians do not. Note the following stress reducers:

Elizabeth Woodworth: Forgo the straw to minimize littering

The summer solstice occurs on June 21. (Always hate to see come, it means that the days are going to get shorter and winter is on the way. I hate dark!) The Sun is entering the Middle Summer sign of Cancer at the same time. The moon enters its weak second quarter today, favorable for vacations and outing of all kinds, because it minimizes lunar stress. Strawberry season ends at average elevations along the 40th Parallel while domestic red raspberries and wild black one ripen. The June 23 high-pressure system is typically cool, and it's often followed by some of the sunniest and driest days of all the year. The wheat harvest begins in the lower Midwest, bright orange butterfly weed reaches full bloom, and acorns become fully formed. In the upcoming six to seven weeks, of Middle Summer, approximately an hour is lost from the day's length along the 40th Parallel, and the year turns toward autumn. After Summer Solstice, the percentage of totally sunny days is the highest of the year through out the nation. (Countryside)

Cris Corzine-McCloskey: Blessed are the broken and the screw-ups!

I don't think there is any greater miracle than a stubborn, prideful person bending his/her knee to God. Luckily, with my job, that's a miracle I see on a regular basis. Why? I am the one people come to when they have run their lives off into a ditch. It's funny how a colossal blunder makes us aware of our need for God.

Matters of faith: We can have a glorious future in Jesus Christ

During his first Roman imprisonment, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Church at Colossae. In that letter he said, "We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. "Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing -- as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth." (Col. 1:3-7 ESV).

David Otten: For better or worse, fathers are examples to their children

Greetings from Faith Lutheran Church in Eldorado. I was going to continue a discussion on worship but then realized when Father's Day is.
