Truth

Dear NP
Dear NP, My primary care provider has offered me the bivalent COVID booster. Should I get it if I have already had COVID and multiple COVID vaccines? Are there any different side effects than the...

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, I’m finding it harder and harder to understand what has happened to the politics in this country and our county especially. I understand being passionate for a candidate or a cause but I don’t understand the hate for the opposing...
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, I appreciate Buck Bock’s letter to the editor in last week’s Sundance Times. There are a few factual errors that perhaps need to be addressed. First, when Senator Driskill met with the Crook County Republican Central Committee on...
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Recently, Hu Jintao was escorted from The Great Hall of the People during the Chinese Communist Party Congress for, apparently, speaking out against the Party. How sad for the 79-year-old to lose the support of the party he has belonged...

I write to you this week as a true American. Yes, I can guess what you're thinking, but it's true. I know I already pledged to the flag and took my tests and learned lots of new things, and I already hung my first flag. You're right, I've been...
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, Once upon a time the Crook County Republican Party reflected the custom and culture of the citizens it represented. The Central Committee was made up of people with strong personalities, and the precinct people who represented their...

Versed
There are roughly over 31,100 verses in the Bible and of those I do have a few favorites or “life verses.” I never set out to make this list, they found me and took off the “rough edges” in my soul. A few of my favorites in no particular...

Dear Editor, The fifth graders did not get to march in the homecoming parade. I interpreted that as some sort of discrimination. I went to the grade school to talk to someone. I was told that several of the fifth grade class were involved in other...

A tiny building hit the news last week when it went on sale for more than the price of a family home. The structure in question is a beach hut in my home county of Dorset, and to explain why it’s...

It’s always nice to hear that one of my compatriots has been enjoying a dish from my homeland, even when they didn’t know that was where it was from. I’d thought the clue was in the name, but even a feature so defining doesn’t work if...

Last week, we said our final goodbye to a woman who has been a constant presence throughout most of our lives – whether you come from the UK or not. Until that moment, I couldn’t have told you...

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death – Rev. 1:18 Keys are important. They are essential to both opening and closing. Be it a door, concept or heart. The following are...
