CHAMPS AGAIN! Cards win state title for second time in five seasons
On Saturday, March 21, for the third time in four games, the George Rogers Clark High School boys basketball team trailed at halftime in the KHSAA Sweet 16®. This time, a state championship was on the line.
Yet, for what Head Coach Josh Cook considers one of the toughest teams he’s ever coached, the game was far from over. It took an extra four minutes, but the Cards ensured that victory, and championship glory, was not...
The lament of a once cherished toy
It’s dark in here. And dusty. And smelly. This place must once have been used to house chickens.
I can’t remember when I was put in here, but it was a long time ago.
I also can’t recall why I was relegated to this loathsome place.
I was active, useful. In the prime of life, with many, many years left to me.
Now I just sit here in the darkness, wondering about these things and about when, if ever,...

Marked at the threshold: Old doorway blessings for tender faith
There are places where the soul slows down without being asked.
The porch step.
The creek crossing.
That narrow bend in the road where your foot lifts off the gas, even though you’ve driven it a hundred times.

Our teacher, Dewey Finn (Jack Black), is an unemployed musician who was recently booted from his band, No Vacancy, and is staying with his best friend, Ned Schneebly (Mike White). Ned once had dreams of being a rock star, but has settled into the role of being a substitute teacher. Also sharing the apartment is Ned’s girlfriend, Patty Di Marco (Sarah Silverman). She sees Dewey more as a leech and is constantly trying to get Ned to throw Dewey out. Dewey...
A silence that isn’t peace
There are moments when the quiet feels louder than shouting.
Lately, I have been listening to that quiet.
I live in a small town. I sit in social groups, committees, and auditoriums. I stand in line at the grocery store and make polite conversation about the weather. And underneath all of it — underneath the casseroles and committee meetings and Friday night lights — there is something else humming.
It is not hysteria.
It is not drama.
It is not politics.
It is rage.
