    Obamacare failures "The president has said several times that this is settled law and that there can't be any changes. Yet, he changes two things a week that wind up to be deathly for Obamacare.

I have a 10 step plan that is on my website that would have done more than Obamacare and been paid for. It would be sustainable. It would have let you to keep your doctor, keep...

  • Thought for the week

    Nov 27, 2013

    To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do. ~ Victor Hugo Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is.

  • Student of the week: Mandi Amend

    Charlene Smith, Pine Bluffs Post staff|Nov 27, 2013

    After the buses left Pawnee school and almost all of the students had gone home or gone to after school practices, Mandi Amend was found in the computer lab working on homework. Each week, the Pine Bluffs Post staff asks a principal from one of the area schools to give us their candidate for student of the week. We rotate schools so everyone gets a chance to be recognized and spotlighted. So, it would be rare for a student to be named twice. But Mandi was named as student of the week last year,...

    What if I told you the core values to finding a better more meaningful life was in 130 pages of a quick read book? What if I told you the values would probably fall in-line with your beliefs and that they came from two local men? You might want to pick up a copy to see how simple meaningful could be? Steve Bahmer and Ron Rabou have done just that. The book came after years of spending time together, realizing what was important to them and others by talking to groups on how to be "more effective... Full story
