  • Rice recipe adds taste of mango, papaya to dish

    My husband loves rice.  Through the almost 40 years that we have been together, he has not missed telling his beloved rice story every time I make rice.

    When he was a boy in South Dakota, his parents would go to town (they lived on a farm) and leave Bob behind with his grandfather. The story goes like this: “I like rice, my Grandpa liked rice and when my parents went to town, he would fix himself some rice in a copper bottom pan, just like the one we have and never offer me any of it. He would eat it right out of the pan. I like rice.”

  • Look to the Lord for strength, inspiration

    “House, Albert!  House, Albert!  House, Albert!”  If you spend much time in our home, there is a decent chance that you will hear these words spoken with great enthusiasm.

    They come from the mouth of our two-year-old daughter Adeline who is becoming more and more effective in verbalizing her feelings and desires. At this point, there is not much that she wants that she cannot figure out a way to communicate with both passion and persuasion. As a pastor and preacher, I would be wise to mimic her technique.

  • Pre-planning important in case of emergencies

    It is difficult to be completely prepared for some of the severe weather in Kentucky, especially the recent tornado outbreak.  However, advanced planning can help ensure your loved ones and your property will be as safe as possible if disaster strikes.

    The same concept of preparation applies to woodland owners managing their property after storm damage.

    Kentucky woodland owners should learn about safety in storm-damaged woods, storm timber assessment, types of damage and locations that can affect salvage intensity and timing.
