"There's a lot of differing data [about global warming], but as far as I can gather, over the last hundred years the temperature on this planet has gone up 1.8 degrees. Am I the only one who finds that amazingly stable? I could go back to my hotel room tonight and futz with the thermostat for three to four hours. I could not detect that difference." ~ Dennis Miller

"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have." ~ Ronald Reagan

Volunteering at the German School Museum

When Joy and Carol Kallmeyer first asked me to volunteer as a tour guide at the German School Museum I tried to think of some plausible excuses for not volunteering. I'm retired, so I didn't really have any good excuses. Besides, Joy and Carol are great people, making it especially hard to turn them down when they asked me for a favor. So I eventually said "Alright, I'll do it!"
Tuesday afternoon is my time to work at the Germann School Museum. Except that it's really not like work at all! It's been fun to help out along with the many other friendly volunteers. It's been fun to meet and talk with the visitors from all over the USA as well as some from outside the USA. It's been fun to learn more about the history of Hermann, the German culture and the old German School.
I attended the first grade at the Germann School. Mrs. Mabel Sohns was my first grade teacher. I transferred to the then new elementary school building on 7th Street for the second grade. I don't remember a lot from the first grade anymore, but I do remember that we brought our lunches to school in paper bags or cool "Lone Ranger" lunch boxes. At the new elementary school, we could eat hot meals in the school cafeteria.
If you have never toured through the German School Museum, you really owe it to yourself to do so. For the $5 admission fee, the tour is a great value! You can stay as long as you like and view all the great artifacts on exhibit.

Bible Verse Of The Day - Wednesday, 9/15/2010
Published by Lois Lame, SSALRCYTMVDQJCP & Assistant Editor

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.” – Joshua 3:5
The word “consecrate” means “to set ourselves apart”. Athletes will set themselves apart to compete, businesses will set themselves apart to learn how to master the marketplace. Why would it be so unusual for Christians to set themselves apart for God? For those from a liturgical tradition, Lent is a time of setting apart. But the setting apart is not enough – we are asking the Lord to do amazing things among us! Joshua proclaimed this before anything happened in the promised land. Are we willing to believe that God will do the same for us and set ourselves apart to be ready for it?
