Sarah Meisinger, a Clinical Social Worker at St. Cloud State University, is obviously very excited to be sharing a space at Bead Gypsy with Rebecca Rosenkrans, who also happens to be her mother....
Former Roseau resident Alex Bjerk, 29, couldn't have scripted a better scenario. Twice, the veteran amateur goalie didn't get the starting nod in two of the biggest sporting events in high school and college. That was then and this is now. He's out in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the biggest game in town isn't at the Golden Nugget or at Caesars Palace. It's at T-Mobile Arena. Bjerk, a 2007 Roseau High School graduate and 2013 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire graduate, possibly wouldn't take all...
My father, who was born in Badger, Minnesota, in 1900, wasn't fond of the Japanese, Italians, and Germans. He only said "Japs" when I was a kid. Blame that on World War II, even though he never served a single day in the military. Pop had his prejudices. My mother never once said a derogatory word about any minority, probably because she had been the daughter of German-speaking immigrants, who were considered the bottom of the barrel in the early Twentieth Century in Minneapolis. Her parents...
It seams to me that there are 3 primary responses to the Bible: (1) Those who are committed to it as “the Word of God.” The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 119: 105, “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” (2) Those who criticize It or at least reduce it to the same level as other religious reference books, and (3) Those who simply ignore it or patronize it. Now if the apostle Paul was correct as I quoted him in Part I of this series, “All Scripture is inspired by God….” then those holding the second two positions put themselves at...

It was a fine finish for Ram senior Gina Wensloff, who had two great rounds this past Monday and Tuesday at the Section 8AA Girls Golf Championship at the Bemidji Town & Country Club.
