GALENA, AK-Once again Carry the Cure's Iditarod Tour was a huge success as the team of thirteen flew to several remote villages to hold concerts and speak in various school assemblies.

We lead people in prayers for healing, deliverance, encouragement and much more." "We had many times of...

He who lives in the safe place of the Most High will be in the shadow of the All-powerful. I will say to Creator, "You are my safe and strong place, my Chief, in Whom I trust." For it is He Who takes you away from the trap, and from the killing sickness. He will cover you with His wings. And under His wings you will be safe. He is faithful like a safe-covering and a strong wall. You will not be afraid of trouble at night, or of the arrow that flies by day. -Adapted from Psalm...
Recently I have had the joy of witnessing a couple of eagles flying in the air. There is something so majestic and wondrous about these amazing birds. Their strength and “eagle eyes” are admirable and should cause us to certainly acknowledge God’s almighty hand, made obvious through His creative power. God’s Word says that all things were made by Him and through Him (John 1:3). He spoke the Word and various aspects of creation came to be instantly! The one aspect I admire...
Many of us who are followers of Jesus know what it is like to serve Him. We can sometimes do so much that we forget that part of serving Jesus is to get four proper forms of rest. These are physical rest, spiritual rest, mental rest and emotional rest. Let’s find out more about this very important topic. When we look at this topic from the perspective of the Old and New Testament together, we see that this ultimate form of rest comes from Jesus Christ. First of all the Bible s...
After years of wondering and months of searching, my husband held her phone number in his hands; he paced the room, wondering what to do. What if she didn’t want to talk to him? He did not want to complicate her life; he just wanted to know his natural mother. After his adoptive dad died and his mother lived in a nursing home, a man gave him the name of the doctor who had delivered him forty years earlier. The doctor, who had lived only three houses down from him his entire l...
Two years ago my daughter Spring Storm, asked me to make a buckskin shirt for her. She said she wanted dark leather, long fringe with tin cones on it and she wanted bead work with images of lightning bolts and coyotes. I promised that I would make the shirt for her. Then I completely forgot about my promise and luckily for me, she also forgot about it. One morning I was drinking a cup of coffee when there was a flash of lightning outside of my window followed by a crack of...
“The labels came off these,” the store manager said holding up two cans of roast beef. “They are not old or expired. The labels came off, that’s all.” I was a bit suspicious, but I only had $8 to spend (my monthly earnings for working 150 hours) and I wasn’t going to debate the person who knew her product. “Okay, I’ll take them,” I said to her. I also added two packs of Peanut M&Ms and a bag of refried beans (dehydrated.) I walked off excited, thinking about the wonderful roa...
Dear Nidobak, I do believe we have made it through another nasty, hard, mean and clingy winter with our optimism still in place! There are still a few foods that are universal, rather than Native and specific to one area or the other. Honey is one, onions another and asparagus. Asparagus is still a mystery as to its origin, though it is now a beloved symbol of spring worldwide. We planted it years ago in a deep trench with neutral soil and it is still producing, although not...
