Many of our churches are struggling to survive with waning membership We don’t hear enough about how we can change things through the power of prayer. I know in my life it has been the one thing that has helped me get through many bad times in my childhood and as an adult. My fear […]
The problem with most politicians today is they are some of the most selfish people you will run into in your life. Everything they do is to help themselves not the people they represent.

Why we need experts to fix our infrastructure and growth problems Thank You, Kevin Miller, for having ACHD Commissioner Kent Goldthorpe on your podcast this morning.

Wheeler case, the 12-20-2019 decision is being touted by the print media and non-government organizations (NGO) as a decision that will require dam removal on the Snake and Columbia Rivers, contending that water in […]

Many of the special opportunities available for upward mobility across classes and generations are not based on wealth or income, or skin color or ethnicity or gender, but rather on the “human capital” of parents and grandparents, and communities, who invest their […]
Control Over Idaho Water – Part 1 Much interest in the Lemhi River and its tributaries has been around for some time.
