For at least 20 years my camera bag has included a spare battery for my camera body. Every time I changed my gear the first thing I checked was which battery the camera itself used. If it was different from what I was currently using, my first purchase was a second battery.

When I think of concussions, my mind goes back to being a high school football cheerleader witnessing one of our players being taken down hard. He ended up not knowing which year it was for a little while.

Halloween 2023 On Halloween morning Saralee Hoselton went with the PCMT van to Grafton. Later in the afternoon she walked over to the Kevin and Kristy Juhl Halloween decorated yard which, due to the snow, wasn’t quite as spectacular as pictures in last week’s Valley News and Views.

It is probably true of every person that there are things they have done they wish they had never done. Some of those things are just foolish or unwise decisions/acts. Others, however, are what God calls sin. In I John 3:4 sin is defined as, “transgression[s] of the law” (God's law).
