God created the Earth and everything in it, and He put Adam in charge. Apparently, the millions of animals had mates, but Adam did not have a mate. In Genesis 2:18, God said, "It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a help mate for him." And God created Eve, and we all know what happened next. God didn't mean for us to be alone, and yet, because people are living longer than ever, they end up outliving their mates by eight to ten years and spend their old age...

WINNIPEG, Man.—A year after declaring a regional state of emergency, the Keewatin Tribal Council has begun plans to move toward self-governance. The tribal council's grand chief cited the emergency to include system-wide failures in public safety, health and infrastructure. "Part of that is taking control and access over the lands and territories that we have held . . . since time immemorial," said grand chief Walter Wastesicoot. "We don't want to recognize Manitoba's b...
It was a rolling chassis 1955 Chevrolet Apache 3100 truck that my friend Austin had gifted to me. I was so excited about what I could do with this shortbed stepside pickup, making plans for a mid-sixties 327 V-8 power plant and "4 on the floor" tranny to mobilize Kene's dreammobile! I was beginning to hunt for the parts I needed, envisioning how the prismatic polyester metallic paint in the semi-gloss, charcoal finish would showcase this eventual beauty! There was no time or...
