  • God's People Take Note

    Bruce Rippy, Pastor - Condon Community Church|Jun 30, 2016

    It has been said of our country that we are a Christian nation. Do we, then, stand strong together to honor God in all we do? In our Pledge of Allegiance, the words “one nation under God” mean we should all be united, allowing God to be our Guide. Sadly, our nation has fallen away from its Christian foundation and principles. Sin blankets our nation today. Therefore, it is crucial now that believers stand together for God’s truths and promises, return to Him and seek His will. God’s blessings will not be given to our nation without our obedienc...

Vitamin D is known as the "sunshine vitamin" because your body creates Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Exposure needs to be at least 10 minutes three to four...

  • Taking Deadlines Seriously

    Betty Vanderwielen, Pathfinder|Jun 30, 2016

    SEELEY LAKE – A deadline is a time limit, a stated time when an assignment is due – or when an article must be submitted to the newspaper editor. If the deadline is missed it might mean an F on a school assignment. Or it might mean an article or ad won’t make it into the next issue of the Seeley Swan Pathfinder. Problematic as those scenarios are, they won’t be fatal. But when the term was first coined, its meaning was deadly serious. The term originated in American Civil War prison camps. Though there is some evidence “dead line” may have be...
