  • My Kitchen, Your Recipe: Friendship Cake

    One of my jobs here at The News-Enterprise is researching the 20- and 30-year histories, looking back in our archives to see what was going on in Hardin County during those years. I’ve had fun looking through the newspapers from 20 years ago because I was writing a food column for the paper in 1991. I’ve loved revisiting those recipes from 20 years ago, and there are a couple of them that I want to share again in the next couple of weeks.

  • Catch the inspiring wave of 'Soul Surfer'

    Films in the Christian genre have grown in popularity recently. “Facing the Giants” and “Fireproof” have had surprising success, but I have been disappointed with the overall quality of the films.

    The small budgets and inexperienced filmmakers have something to do with that, but as a critic, I struggle through films like these and “Letters to God” because the overall film quality is so poor.

    These films have inspiring messages and good stories, but the acting and filmmaking have been lacking.

  • Learning to weather the storms

    As I lay in bed listening to my home groan with the gusts of wind that pressed against it, I had to remind myself it’s that time of year.

    Along with spring come the rain, wind and threat of severe weather.

    I’d like to think I’ve gotten used to it after all these years, but, in truth, I think the reverse is actually true.

    The more I’ve learned things over the years, the easier it is for my mind to reel with possibilities.
