At the time of this writing, gunmen had killed at least 15 people at a celebration of Hanukkah! What a horrible beginning to Hanukkah, a time that is to be one of \u201cjoyous victory\u201d for the Jewish community.\u00a0 Also, Christians are recognizing the Advent Season in preparation for the Christmas season celebrating Jesus\u2019 birth. Pray that our world can find safety and peace for all people.\u00a0 Please everyone, \u201cLove your neighbor as yourself\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the lighter side, football is in the air at the college and professional levels.\u00a0 The FCS division is moving into its semifinal week while the FBS begins its first-round week.\u00a0 The NFL had key matchups over the weekend clarifying some playoff spots and making some others more cluttered.\u00a0 A great time for \u201cFootball Junkies\u201d, enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday lighting is prevalent around town, folks have done nice jobs decorating their properties.\u00a0 Thank you all for beautifying Valley City and remember \u201cThe reason for the season\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 Winter Solstice of the Northern Hemisphere is Sunday December 21st.\u00a0 With that, our time of daylight increases beginning Monday the 22nd, WOO HOO!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1958 there was an electrical power shortage, somewhat like today.\u00a0 Thus, the Mid-West Electric Consumer Association (MWECA) was formed.\u00a0 The coalition served rural co-ops and public power districts that purchase federal hydropower from Missouri River Dams (Pick-Sloan Program) to ensure fair rates and reliable power.\u00a0 Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), as an MWECA member, represents us in the coalition which is still working today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise is critical for us, young and old alike.\u00a0 If it is too cold for you to get outside and exercise, Google \u201cChair Exercises\u201d.\u00a0 They have beneficial exercises shown for all, why not try them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiving up doesn\u2019t always mean you\u2019re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and move on.\u201d<\/strong>~ Surprise Church<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings, Prayer, Respect and Gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
