  • To You … With Love,

    Jun 19, 2024

    The Shepherd Father's Day always sends me back to the Missouri hills where first I remember the sound of my grandfather's voice. Coming from parents who had been divorced, I seldom saw my own father, but it was the rough and gnarled hands of my Pa that clutched my heart. He was the tree planted by the waters that yielded its fruit in season, and whose roots went down deep in his families' tree of life. I always saw a part of his pride and dignity in my Aunt Eva's spirit. I still see a glimpse of him, now and then in my brother Bill. We are the...

    Jun 19, 2024

    By: Jill Pertler A very good friend shared a written message regarding thoughts on aging with me. It was about growing old, but not feeling like you are growing old. It gave me pause to ponder. Your hair may be graying. Your skin thins and sags. Laugh lines – aka wrinkles – provide evidence of the happiness you’ve experienced. Medical issues may be more prevalent and demand more of your attention than in the past. All around you, your body shows obvious signs of aging, but inside you’re still the same you – youthful and young. Isn’t that the tr...
