Let’s talk about exercise and nutrition. I was always an athlete, so to me, the exercise was always there. But when it came to nutrition, I still lived a lifestyle of “as long as you burn more calories than you intake, you should be fine.” That lasted until I was 35. I packed on 30 pounds in three years. I was eating late at night, most nights, in bed while watching a movie. I was drinking high-calorie beer, as well as wine (which both were high in sugar). Bad nutritional habits and no exercise will definitely contribute to weight gain as I...

I am asked so often, "Are you afraid of being attacked or killed by the bears?", while guiding the bear viewing trips in Katmai National Park or on Kodiak Island. My answer is a simple "No." My answer is always the same, "Is it the car wreck, the plane crash, the shooting, or the bear we are afraid of?" No, to most all of us, it is death that drives those fears. The reason I am not afraid of the bears nor anything we face is that I'm not scared of death, I have lived a life that most would...

By Rich Jespersen She was on her phone and crying very hard, saying, “Don’t hang up! Don’t hang up!” Then, she began to punch in a phone number and listen, saying, “Oh, no! Oh, no! Answer your phone. Answer your phone.” I asked what was wrong. Through her sobs, she told me she was trying to get through to her boyfriend who had just said he was going to kill himself.

I said, "Let's start at the beginning. When did you get married?" They both looked at each other, smiled, and Micki said, "June 9, 1973. He keeps track of that better than I do." They have been married for 47 years. Micki's father moved to Opheim, Montana, when she was a senior. Her dad was the Superintendent of Schools. She came late to school that year because she was working at a dude ranch. I asked Dale did he notice her when she got there, and he laughed, raising his eyebrows. He said,...

Last week I wrote about Vanessa and Liana Janssen's recent visit to Japan. In actuality, the Janssen family consists of three children in total. It simply was not feasible for the entire family to make the trip east, as airfare to Japan was quite costly. So the head of the family and Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, Sean Janssen, researched alternate destinations with cheap flights for a trip with his two young sons, Cameron, age six, and Holden, age 4. He found a terrific deal from Seattle to...
This last fall, local Vanessa Janssen traveled with her daughter Liana to Japan. They were joined by Vanessa's parents, sister, and her sister's boyfriend. The reason for their family reunion?

Their trip began in the bustling city of Tokyo, home to 14.1 million people. The group marveled at skilled craft markets, ancient temples, and palaces, one of which was worth 4 tr...
