Joshua 6 records the conquest of Jericho, which teaches the major theme that in the interval between our glorification in Heaven and the time that we receive Christ there stands a holy war. In Joshua 6 Israel learned the lesson that the Lord, not their human effort or skills, produces the victories. Jericho was an obstacle, but the Lord removed it to prove the battle is the Lord's. In Joshua chapter 7 we note the terrible failure and defeat of Israel at Ai. The reason they failed was due to unconfessed sin in their camp and the fact that... Full story

A bird's eye view of the Slippery Gulch egg toss. The four-man color guard stood straight, sun shining on billowing flags at the start of the Slippery Gulch Days parade in Tekoa.

One of the key ways to stimulate innovative life sciences research is the Life Sciences Discovery Fund (LSDF). Established in May 2005 to help attract life sciences res... Full story

Bad Road My wife and I have lived here at 401 Draper/Brown Road for twenty nine years, and we don’t remember this road being this bad. I would believe it is from a lack of attention, rather than storm damage. Although I believe that has happened elsewhere. Our road is so washboarded now we have to hold on to our back teeth to keep them in. The problem I see with most Whitman County roads is they have no base except bedrock. Gravel will not stay put. It moves to the barrow pits in no time at all. I hate to think we have to drive over our road a... Full story
