Genuine worship or emotionalism
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
Have you ever been moved by music? Movie soundtracks often have full orchestras, so even people who think they do not like symphonies, may have a greater appreciation for the genre than they realize. Feelings of joy, fear, suspense, and awe can be evoked by music.

Murder most foul: The killing of John M. Daniel
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
The sensational case of the murder of John M. Daniel by Isaac Whitson on Dec. 12, 1832, is a rare local example of an early capital crime. John M. Daniel first appeared in the area in 1818 when he bought land near Hubble Creek just north of Jackson. In 1828 Daniel married Amantha Hector, likely his second wife. Daniel became a prominent businessman, owning nine local town lots and over 600 acres of land by 1830.

Are you planning for the future?
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
I want to speak with you about planning for your future. When someone talks about making future plans, they typically revolve around finances and time management. Certainly, to plan for future you need to have a solid financial plan. In order to make the most of your days you need to practice a time management system. However, how you use your time and resources are secondary to self-leadership. Leading yourself will have a greater impact on the quality of your life and future than any strategies for time management and financial planning.

A plant with funny blossoms
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
This is a springtime wildflower native to the eastern half of North America reaching far into Canada. It is called Dutchman’s Breeches because the plant’s flowers reminded the American naturalists who found and documented it of a Dutchman’s breeches hanging on a line to dry.

Eclipse and other memories
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
Just watched the Eclipse. Pretty darn neat. I had a good friend tell me when to start watching and when the total eclipse would be, and he was spot on. Thanks! I watched the other eclipse several years ago, but it wasn’t as cool as this was. Today Marge and I were at the picnic table eating dinner and checking on the sun that was still showing. Marge commented about what the old timers back when must have thought when something like this happened. Who knows? We enjoyed it. Our neighbor’s donkey went to braying and another’s roosters went to crowing. We can look back and brag that “We saw that.” Precious memory!

Eclipse in downtown Cape: A day the hidden gem shown to visitors from around the world
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
How do you even begin to describe something that’s both utterly breathtaking and incredibly frustrating all at once? This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind as we played host to folks from all corners — Washington State, Iowa, St. Louis, Illinois, and the East Coast — all descending upon Cape Girardeau with one mission: to witness the eclipse. They’d been planning and booking with us for months, and let me tell you, the anticipation was palpable. It felt like forever waiting for that moment to arrive, but when it did, it was nothing short of magical.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s case against Speaker Johnson
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
The first time that Republicans toppled their own speaker during this Congress, it wasn’t a particularly edifying spectacle, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is reaching for new lows. To paraphrase Marx: first as a farce, then as a more preposterous farce.

Americans are not seeking out middle ground
(Column ~ 04/13/24)
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Sen. Mitt Romney regarding the demise of the No Labels political party initiative tells us as much about Romney, and why he failed to ever become a national leader, as it does about the failure of the No Labels effort. No Labels defined its mission "to support centrism and bipartisanship."
