I guess it’s normal for this time of year, but there are usually some good weekends when the fishermen can get on the lake, find where the fish are, and experiment with what they mi

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: Space for Grace
By Father Yohanes Akoit There are moments when we feel unworthy to come to church and even unwilling to go to confession. We feel this way because the more we try to make commitments, the more we seem to break them. Sometimes we succeed for a short while, but our efforts do not last. We may promise to set aside time each day for prayer, yet we manage to keep it only for a few days before falling again. The same happens with confession: we become discouraged because we confess

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Fertilizer
By Gary Miller It seems, years ago, I simply reacted when hunting season came. The preparation phase lasted only about a month. The reason was because I hunted area farms. Unlike many hardwoods’ areas, farmland hunting is fairly predictable. The deer are basically going to be there from year to year. I know this cuts out the need for a lot of scouting articles, but the truth is the truth. For instance, I have heard all my life that oak trees only produce acorns every three y

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: Rediscovering Our True Gravity
By Father Yohanes Akoit We are of course familiar with the law of gravitation. It is because we have learned about it in school. From that subject we learn that the law of gravity plays an important role in our life and in the entire universe. Through that subject we realize that every step we take on earth is nothing but the stabilization of the law of gravity. Without this force we could never stand or walk steadily. Even our weight, the way we walk, how our blood is pumped
