COMMENTARY: A pat on the back
It is productive and right to give pats on the back to those who we think have done us a good deed. By all means, community members and workers who contribute to the betterment of our community deserve a note of thanks.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: The unstoppable Church
God has a purpose for you to be here. Like Peter, you, too, can walk on water, even though the Lord, after Peter had taken only a few steps, had also had to reach out, grab his hand, and then help him back into the boat.

As Primary Election season draws to a conclusion, we will very quickly be focusing on the General Election, which will, at its conclusion, tell us who and what the Tribal Council will look like for the next two years.
