Kathy Creighton (Thursday): “Twenty-two years ago today my granddaughter Jazlynn was the New Year’s Baby.”.

Last Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of eating lunch with my sisterin- law Michelle, her gorgeous daughter Ava, my in-laws, and the Farmer, at Thirsty’s in Hays. We went in for a delicious lunch and enjoyed nachos, quesadillas, burgers, steak, fried shrimp, and onion rings that should have been crowned king of the table. They were so good! Then the Farmer and I went to DQ to get some ice cream to round it all out. We headed home after all that eating and all the fun, in the crazy 60 mph winds and dust storms. I managed to squeeze in a tiny four-hour nap once we got home. Honestly, it was the kind of Sunday that reminds you that family, food, and a good long rest are the perfect recipe for a memorable afternoon.

You have probably heard the phrase “having a clear conscience” used to describe someone who feels free of guilt or remorse for something they did or failed to do. A clear conscience comes only through faith in Jesus, whose sacrifice atones for our sins and restores our relationship with God.

The time change has come and gone, and it sure is nice to have sunlight when leaving work in the evening. Now, if we could just get some rain and a break from the wind, it would feel perfect for Spring Break week.
