Dusty Last week, Daniel and LaRena Draper almost ran over a dog on Highway 26. They picked him up to prevent him from being hit and tried to find his owner. He was a well-behaved hound type dog but due to allergies, they couldn’t keep him. Darrel Claassen took him on a show-and–hopefully–claim tour of Dusty but no one knew where he belonged. The Claassens finally took him to Pullman to a rescue center. This information is for the many who have wondered about the outcome of the search.

Demands of those unwilling to give It is not easy to follow Jesus - not because Christ is unable to bear our burdens and to give us rest, - nor because Jesus does not have the power to make us new and turn us into the salt of the earth and the light of the world. It is not easy because it demands of us more than most people are willing to give.

While health care costs have slowed their growth in the last few years, they are still very high, driven partly by consumer choices.
