One of the Christmas radio stations I listen to on Sirius XM asks listeners to name their three favorite Christmas songs. Most of the time one of the songs is of course “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby. My three choices are a bit different, although I do like the Crosby version, which is the original. […]
Matthew 2:1-2 (NIV) –After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” It’s that time of […]

Time flies. I don’t know who the first person was to say that, but, OMG, they were so right! Thanksgiving is just around the corner. If you’re like me, there are still many things you want to complete before Thanksgiving turns into the end of the year. Being a time of Thanksgiving, I thank all […]
Now that the midterm election period is behind us, I would like to say that I hope in the future there will be no political signs displayed on the Village Hall and Police department property. Prior to the election, I was dismayed to see a dozen political signs advertising only candidates belonging to the GOP […]

Wrapping up Halloween was different this year. Could be my imagination, but it seems like our fall temperatures have been warmer than usual. This gave me a chance to spend more time outside, enjoying fall, than in prior Octobers. Walking a puppy in the late hours of the night, I appreciated the better weather and […]
