FAITH: Remaining faithful and keeping first things first
I was thinking about this verse in John 10:10 – “The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” I wondered just how abundantly do I live or divide my attention to the things that matter the most. In this verse, the thief referred to here is the devil, Satan. He wants to kill, steal and destroy your living, your abundant living, your joy....

CENTRAL OREGON HISTORY: Pioneer rancher settles in the John Day Valley

MCLANE: Home is far and away the best vacation
It seems like the standard social question this time of year, whether I'm having dinner with friends or sitting in the dentist's chair, is, "Do you have any big travel plans this summer?" I used to feel intense, self-inflicted pressure to have an exciting answer to this friendly inquiry, like I'm going skydiving or planning a big family vacation to some exotic location or building an orphanage in a third-world country. But then I decided to start being honest, both with myself and others. My...
Movie Review: James Bond fights ‘Spectre’ in Daniel Craig’s fourth 007 caper
Arguably the best thing about “Spectre” is that Daniel Craig is still James Bond in it. On the other side of that coin, perhaps the worst thing about the 2015 adventure is that it spends a little too much time looking backward rather than forward. Longtime Bond fans may be a little too critical of these movies, but too often, “Spectre” — which MGM+ shows Monday, July 22, with MGM+...

National news has you feeling anxious? Join the club
Try looking up the term “community anxiety” and you’ll have trouble pinning down a definition. People who see a psychiatrist might get a quizzical look if they ask about it. The term doesn’t appear in the DSM-5, also known as the all-important “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.” But after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13, and in the midst of one of the most vitriol-filled and impactful elections in memory, a lot of people...
