Monday night’s Creation Days session used trains as a teaching tool (PK – "And why not?"). He noted that many don’t talk about trains any longer to which I rose in protest: “Not at SSB - trains are a big deal here!” - at least in my mind! Bill told about the race to build a ribbon...

Creation Days 2021: Carnival Musings
SSB had another Creation Days Carnival on Saturday that went very well. We served up hundreds of snow cones, cotton candy sticks, and sacks of popcorn to many ages over the course of four hours. The weather was warm but not hot and there was a gentle breeze. Perfect! Thanks to the planning and organizing team. There was... Continue Reading →
Trains
Friday, August 6 Hiroshima, Japan, experienced a most horrible day on August 6th, that led to the end of the war with Japan that had already cost thousands of lives on both sides and promised masses to be yet killed, except for that day and the 9th (Nagasaki) which suddenly brought Japan to surrender. On... Continue Reading →
Montana Notes
We drove 3,486 miles to Kalispell, MT for a memorial service for Janet’s only sibling and basically the last of her family line. We drove the first 1500 miles in two days with an overnight in Billings, MT. It was a joy to take in the beauty of God’s creation. Winds across South Dakota on Thursday the... Continue Reading →

So why PK’s musings and why so many? The truth is that you are being discipled! And so are you children! Constantly - daily - hour by hour! And to what end? Under what philosophy? By what kind of men /characters? Beware! I make no apology nor seek to hide the fact that I am about discipling you. Matthew 28:19-20, …make... Continue Reading →
Turn Your Eyes
Gayle reminded me after the service today that we formed a circle around the sanctuary after Matthew's visitation on May 17, 2007 and sang, "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." So we sang "The Stand" this morning which we sang for the first time on one of the two Sundays that Matt was with us in... Continue Reading →

321 So. 6 in 68028
I love the piece of dirt that we call ours (321 So Hwy 6 in Gretna). I think of our spot as - as was said by Augustine in a different application - a city set on a hill. We have it here – location, location, location! The new parking area and east entrance/exit is a... Continue Reading →
April Days
Four April days stand out to me (and a number of secondary days such as my sister’s birthday, the OK City bombing, the Columbine slaughter, Saigon falling, and others): 1. On April 8, 1966, Time magazine’s cover asked the question: “Is God Dead?” It was a shocker! Who’d even think such a thing in the USA, let... Continue Reading →
