“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11

That verse reminds me of the song Sylvia (Blooding) Weeks used to sing. One year at a Veteran’s Day program at school as she sang the song, “Everything Beautiful in His Time” while her classmates passed out those words they had copied to slim sheets of paper to the students in the Assembly. In those years we also had skits on the Viet Nam topic and concerns of teenagers.

This weekend there is a major patriotic parade and program in Lamar Saturday,

EVIL INTENT 

“The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable – how much more so when brought with evil intent!” Proverbs 21:27

The other night it was hot. Hot during the day, hot at night. Heat seems to define summer for us, in many ways.

But in spite of that, after a day in the outdoors, we built a fire. A small fire. A "hat" fire, which mountain people define as one you can put in your hat. Why so small? Because it was hot and we didn't need the heat. Why the fire? Because we need the fire.

Public input is being sought by Colorado Parks and Wildlife about how it manages the Tobe pronghorn herd over the next 10 years.

CPW staff has spent months drafting a proposed management plan for pronghorn in the Tobe herd, which spans Game Management Units (GMUs) 130, 136, 137, 138, 143, 144 and 146 in Baca, Bent, Las Animas, Otero and Prowers Counties.
