INDIAN PROVERB

Trust in the Great Spirit with all your heart. In all that you do, know that He is always with you. Acknowledge and talk to Him at sunrise. Thank Him every day at sunset, and He will make straight your path.

I believe that now, more than ever, is a time for a vision quest. We need to go into the room, shut the door, and then talk to The Creator for a little while.

Then shut up and listen! That’s the hard part.

Thank you to our community news sponsors!

We have got to find a way to turn off the chatter in our minds and our spirits so that we will hear and know, without a shadow of a doubt, that we have been to the mountaintop for our vision quest. And when we open the door to our room, we may be speechless for a moment as we become blessed by the Holy Spirit.

Go in Peace.

Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing

Paperboy Voted The ‘Lost Job’ Hoosiers Miss Most
Every year, the U.S. Labor Department quietly updates its list of professions that have officially vanished — those too small to even count in the nation’s monthly jobs report. Once upon a time, the lineup included blacksmiths, shoemakers, screen printers, and hardwood-veneer makers; now, it is breakfast cereal manufacturers that are casualties of progress. But in ...
Who You Calling Santa Claus?
Did you know that it was Saint Nicholas, a generous fourth-century Greek bishop, who gradually evolved into the figure we know as Santa Claus?

Mistletoe Traditions: The History of Ordinary Things
Mistletoe comes from two Anglo Saxon words ‘mistel’ which means dung and ‘tan’ which means twig or stick. Translated, mistletoe is ‘poo on a stick’.
