Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
Spiritual decline is not typically an overnight phenomenon. The life of devotion suffers when the “salt” of gracelessness poisons our foundation.
Heard a preacher lately talk about “ghost forests.”

Robert St. John says when you’re his age, travel makes you stop counting the days and just count the trips.
Seven weeks ago, I stood in snow 200 miles above the Arctic Circle in Tromso, Norway watching the sky turn green. Tomorrow I will stand on a cliff in the Algarve 200 miles above Africa, looking at the last stretch of the Atlantic before it runs east to Gibraltar.
In between was Tuscany, three groups, an Easter off, and a suitcase packed for three seasons in two months.

Message of the week 04-23-2026
LOST BECAUSE OF WILLFULNESS
If you have your Bible handy you might want to turn to Luke 15. Thus far in our study we have seen one can be “ lost from carelessness.” That is seen in the “Parable of the Lost Sheep.” One can also be “lost from uselessness” seen in the “Parable of the Lost Coin.” In this article we will focus on “The Parable of the Lost Son” from Luke 15:11-24. Remember, a parable is often defined as an “earthly story with a heavenly meaning.”
