Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, This week, we celebrate the one­year anniversary of the first vaccines against COVID19 given in Watonga. Mercy Health Care offered the Pfizer mRNA vaccine to their employees in December 2020. In that time, first responders and those in high­risk medical settings were prioritized.

Today, we begin looking at the prophecy of Habakkuk. Little is known about Habakkuk. This is the only time this name is mentioned in the Bible. All we know is that he was a contemporary of Jeremiah. From the book we learn that it was written before the defeat of Jerusalem by Babylon in 597 BC.

We didn’t have as much traffic for the Breakfast with Santa as we’ve had in the past. There was also another fund raiser going on the same time which we were glad to share with. The ones that came seemed to enjoy seeing Santa.

Santa's Magical Key: Part 1

Holly and Nicholas were excited. Today was the day they got to spend the day drinking hot cocoa their favorite way – with marshmallows and chocolate chips and piled high with whipped cream. It was a once-a-year holiday treat.

Several people stopped by our table at the Christmas Bazaar and 10 went to the museum afterwards. There weren’t as many vendors at the bazaar as there have been in the past but there seemed to be a steady stream of people passing through. The Grinch and Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus were there too.

What Is Mariticide?

Mariticide: One who kills her husband or boyfriend. Is it wrong to have thoughts of committing mariticide just before the holidays? Y'all know I'm speaking metaphorically. I'd never do such a thing although it would mean one less gift to buy.

Greetings, everyone, today, we start with the book of Nahum. Notice how the book starts: “An oracle concerning Nineveh.” Hopefully, all of you remember the story of Jonah. God sent Jonah to Nineveh with a message that Niveveh was going to be destroyed.

Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. Things have been quiet this week at the museum. No visitors with the Thanksgiving holiday and Clay spent time with his family. It’s hard to believe it’s almost 2022. We have a broach that Mrs. Ferguson gave to Mrs. D.P. Karns for Christmas one year.

I was going through my records the other day and found that the first article I did for this paper was dated October 18, 2018. That means it has been included in this paper for three years now. That hardly seems possible to me. I guess time flies as you get older.
