Every now and then I come across a statement that shakes me to my core and really puts things into perspective for me.
It happened just today when I read a quote from a man named Leonard Ravenhill, who was a British Christian evangelist. His ministry was focused on the revival of God’s church, as spoken of in his most notable book, “Why Revival Tarries.”

The beginning of every year is a great time to start fresh, set goals, and begin something new. In fact, it’s the perfect time to evaluate our spiritual health and set some goals for growth.
While we can not bring our spiritual growth, we can make the efforts needed to achieve it. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to transform us into the image of Christ 2 Cor 3:18. But God does expect our obedient and active cooperation 1 Cor 9:24-27.

Are you seeking the approval of men, or God (Gal. 1:10)? Christians, let us not forget we serve an omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient God. Using selective thinking, humans often forget “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other” (Matt. 6:24). Celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the new year with a decision to serve God or man. So, I pose the same question Elijah posed to his people, “How long are you going to struggle with the two choices?

Opinions of President Trump’s decision to capture the president of Venezuela and bring him to the United States to face drug charges will vary. Those who support the president will think he’s doing right for America, and those who oppose him will question the legality of the overnight military operation.

Several months ago, I wrote an article regarding the status of waterfowl populations across the country. Not to digress, but in a nutshell, the numbers overall have been in a downward trend for many years. Again, I won’t go into the reasons, but I will reemphasize some points in this article. Since we are in the last few weeks of the 2025-2026 waterfowl season, I thought it would be interesting to poll hunters in various regions across the state to get their thoughts on how the season is going thus far.

A recent Gallup poll found 85 percent of respondents disapprove of Congress’ work. Reports suggest about 90 percent of people think term limits will align Congresspersons’ incentives with the common good. They won’t.
In the 2024 general election, incumbents won reelection more than 90 percent of the time; it’s 100 percent in some election cycles. If elections were truly competitive, incumbents would not win at that rate. Freed from competition, legislators’ incentives to are not aligned with the public good.

Apparently, the DC Santa Claus did NOT visit Linda Berry this year. All she got were clean MAGA lumps of coal along with $2.25 gas. So sad. Nor can anyone in DC make her happy (“Democrats Must Make Their Case,” Northside Sun, 12/12/25). Yet she believes the Democrats have the better solutions to govern if they would but take it on. That assumes that the Democrat leadership has ability to function like a normal political party. Nevertheless, she’s a real Democrat believer. In what, I would like to know.

As I write this on 1/4/26 most news reports state that the United States has carried out a flawless military mission early yesterday to arrest the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in his home (aka fortress) in Caracas. Our military personnel forced their way into his house before Maduro could enter his steel walled safe room and arrested him and his wife before they could escape. The assault had been meticulously planned for months. No Americans were killed, and only one helicopter was hit but was able to continue flying. A total of about 150 aircraft were used.

“Who you gonna’ believe? Me or your lying eyes.” Substitute Entergy’s spokesperson for Chico Marx, and you have the current gaslighting telling you don’t believe what you see happening in other states and what common sense tells you will happen here. Just trust Entergy not to raise electric rates for small customers to benefit Amazon’s data centers.

Every year has its challenges and this one is no different. On the opposite page, Jonathan Kettler writes about the start of 1949 and all the challenges faced that year. It provides a real sense of perspective.
The Sun is a community newspaper so we like to focus on local news but the decimation of local news by Big Tech has caused more focus on national and international news. It is human nature to focus on what’s there.
