When candidates don’t show up, voters shouldn’t lose out
Our job as a nonpartisan organization isn’t to tell voters who to support. It’s to make sure they have the information they need to decide for themselves.
One of the ways we do that is by hosting candidate forums. A traditional candidate forum brings candidates from the parties represented in a race together to answer questions from a moderator, with each candidate given the same questions and the same amount of time to respond.
But candidates don’t always participate. When candidates from

Should have read the Bible
In the early 1840s, a Hungarian doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis made a discovery. A doctor 
had performed an autopsy. Then he went directly to the delivery room and delivered a baby.
Soon after the delivery, the mother died. Semmelweis determined the doctors hands were covered in a substance that caused the mother’s death and insisted doctors wash their hands often and with a cleansing agent.
He presented evidence their hands were transferring

Choose to keep your face toward the light
Since before the world was made, God has known you and loved you. He has never taken His eyes away or ignored you.
If you were to write down all the blessings and victories He’s provided, they would prove He has called you, saved you, and has been guiding and helping you every day of your life. You might say, it doesn’t seem like it, but remember, many times we made decisions that were not a part of His plan.
It’s common to be filled with a mixture of emotions. Worry, stress, sadness, and anxiety are everywhere, but just because there is a tornado of events going

Beware the supplements on TV
If you’re home during the day and have spent much time with the television on, you’ve no doubt been inundated with advertising for supplements that promise to change your life.
By the time you’ve heard those ads 30 times you can probably quote them word for word. And at some point you might even be tempted to just dial that number and place an order.
Don’t do it.
Just because companies create slick ads that sound like they’ll solve all your problems doesn’t mean it’s safe for you to use their products, especially if you

The infallible Word or man’s imaginations?
The common thread of Christianity pertaining to the understanding of the Bible is that everyone who declares by faith to be born again has free access to the Holy Spirit to help them discern what it means.
At the same time, we must also consider that, with human free will, each individual has the opportunity to form their own opinions.

Courier Letters to the Editor
Learning more about Trump
Dear Editor,
I liked the Aug. 26 letter to editor. I think the letter writer said a lot, and I agree with her. I learned more about Donald Trump than I knew.
I am sorry to hear about Lindsey Graham. I am glad to see his sister take his place. The November election is going to be very interesting — we will see how many Republicans keep their seat in the Senate and in the House. I am glad to see Donald Trump’s job rating is going down and hope it continues to fall. Look at all he has done — high prices, war, turned allies against us with his tariffs and more.
It is obvious that Donald Trump is only for himself. Why does he want his name on everything, and now a lake change to Lake America? What does a ballroom have to do with national security? I hope in the midterms there are some new people in the Senate and House. I think the Republicans supporting Donald Trump will be surprised after the elections.
I did not know about these costumes that our president had put on. He missed one of the devil

Throw that frisbee
Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.”
We were five Americans, our guide Sunil and six Sherpa porters. Our trek was from Lukla, Nepal to Mount Everest base camp. The round trip distance is about 100 miles with no flat trail area. It’s all up or down, mostly up.
Nepal is a small country between Tibet and India. Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world 29,035 feet
