Every time we go to church we pass by a herd of red and black angus cattle grazing contentedly in their pasture. These cows are in tip top shape. Their shining red and black coats glisten in the sun. When we had an angus herd when I was a kid, my dad mixed linseed oil in with their feed, which brought a beautiful shine to their hides. That shine is a sign of good health. It’s fun to observe the neighbor’s cattle as we drive by. As winter gives way to spring the cows drop calves and they gro...
So have you been watching the Olympics? I have truly enjoyed watching when I could, but have also been frustrated by the coverage schedule. Specifically, I wish the medias wouldn’t spoil the outcome of some events by telling you what happened before they air it. I mean, I just finished watching the USA Women’s Volleyball team squeak out a win over Turkey, when they went back to the studio. Later that night, the Women’s All Around Gymnastics final would be held, but the woman in the studio went a...

Oh, so you're a Chicago Bear fan! Please, tell me more about 1985. Green Bay Packer fans are furious after a controversial call in last night's game robbed the Packers of a victory. Some are calling it the worst call in NFL history, since the Black Eyed Peas were invited to play the Super Bowl. Apple is inventing a new Mike Tyson computer – it has two bytes and no memory.

State Sen. Brian Stewart (R-Freeport) is calling for a full audit of the Pritzker Administration’s mismanagement of Illinois’ unemployment benefits system, based on a scathing report released July 28 by the Illinois Auditor General.
