My favorite spot in our cabin is in front of the heater on my fuzzy carpet; I find it relaxing to watch wildlife in the woods right outside those double windows. There’s a squirrel nest that especially holds my attention. It’s way up in a hickory tree. I watch as the wind howls and blows over that nest. It’s situated on branches, not all that thick, looking less than safe or stable. I look at it, then again and again. Somehow that nest gives me a sense of being understood. Isn’t that how life is right now- set out on a limb, a 35 feet from the ground, enduring clouds, sun, and rain? And you know, every day when I go back to the cabin for my time alone with God, that nest is still there! The branches hold that nest as sure as if it were concreted in. I ask myself, “Am I that concreted into trusting Jesus through storm and sun?”

One of the simplest ways to define politics is as a struggle for power. This power struggle has flared up again.
Fitting for one of the lowest-scoring Newton Invitational Tournament girls’ basketball tournament in recent years, the championship game of the 47th edition was a defensive struggle. The 10th-ranked (KBCA, Class 5A) Andover Central Jaguars held top-seeded and second-ranked Bishop Carroll Golden Eagles to two field goals in the second half to claim a 41-34 win Saturday at Ravenscroft Gym.
