If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?Yes, that is a line from Tony Award winning Broadway musical ?Hamilton.? But it was also the first I thought of when I saw the new Nike ad featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.The ad, for those who haven't seen, is a black and white image of Kaepernick with the words ?Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.? The ad is part of a ...
?I have fought a good fight. I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me ? the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me, but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return.? -2 Timonty 4:7Do you like a good fight? Most people would prefer not to fight. We teach our ...
When I was a kid my father ran a gas station in Monroe. I loved ?helping? my father with his business. I swept the floor and washed windshields ? albeit I had to stand on a five-gallon bucket in order to reach the windshields. Mostly, I drank pop and ate Cherry Mesh candy bars.Farmers would come into the gas station, sit down in the chairs and empty grain out of the cuffs of their bib overalls, which I would ...
To the editor:As a native of Mt. Pleasant, I don't know who I'm more disappointed with: the City Council or the Old Threshers Board, for their decision to allow beer sales at the reunion. Threshers was one of the last bastions that did not allow alcohol at their family-friendly functions. Why must we have alcohol at gatherings in order to have a good time? I hope those involved will reconsider their decision for ...
For many gardeners, part of gardening fun is learning more about ?pop-up? plants, the wild native plants that simply show up in our ditches, woodland borders and other uncultivated spaces.One of those interesting plants is pokeweed, sometimes known alternatively as poke, poke sallet, poke salad or pokeberry. I've seen it by some of those names in books, especially Southern novels. Its range through the U.S. and ...
To the editor: On Saturday, June 11, my mother and I were heading to Iowa City for a day of shopping. As we drove out of Mt. Pleasant, our tire light came on. Soon after, our tire completely exploded and I was able to get to the side of 218. There we sat, two ladies in distress and we watched many cars go by without stopping to help us. Although we called our husbands for help, they were quite a ways away. We ...
One of my least favorite things to do is follow rules (just ask my mother if you need a reference). So when fashion says I can't wear white after Labor Day, I'm not only going to do it anyway, but I also want to know why. So I did some research just in case you, too, wanted to know.According to an article on Mental Floss titled, ?Why can't you wear white after Labor Day? by Kathy Benjamin, a series of ridiculous ...
By Glroia Yoder I wish you could have been here at our house yesterday. We had the opportunity of hosting church services at our home, as well as lunch then supper and a hymn singing in the evening. We had a great day.One of the things we enjoy the most in having services at our house is planning and preparing the meal. This time we chose to go with the traditional Amish menu of peanut butter sandwiches with ...

By Andy Krutsinger, Mt. Pleasant News Unless you've been living under a rock this week (shoutout Patrick Star), you know what's going on in Mt. Pleasant. It's Old Threshers weekend, the time when this town is filled with people from all over the Earth who have flocked in to town for the fesitivites.This is just my fourth year living in Mt. Pleasant, so I'm still pretty new to the tradition. I lived in Iowa for ...
I always knew Ginnie was a special woman, but this is ridiculous.We were leaving the movie theater in Burlington. I had taken Ginnie to see ?Crazy Rich Asians? for her birthday (excellent movie) and we were headed for dinner at Burlington's finest restaurant overlooking the Mississippi. I checked my smartphone for messages and there were three severe storm warnings for Mt. Pleasant. The sun was shining and the ...
In Matthew 16:24 Jesus said, ?If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.?The idea of denying oneself can be somewhat foreign in the days we live in, where more and more, life seems to be more self-centered. Jesus calls us as believers to live differently, to deny ourselves, our wants and our desires and follow Him.There are many that claim the title of Christian...
