We marvel at those who have almost always kept their faith com- pletely focused on the Lord. Such was the faith of the late Billy Graham, who is now residing in heaven with his wife Ruth. I do remember way back when we lived on my Grandparent George Kroeker’s family farm for a few years. I think I was around ten or eleven years old, and it was about the time I had accepted Jesus Christ as my own and I did a lot of “extra” thinking. I got a lot (for that time) of mail that I had sent off for and one day I got a card telling about a new young evangelist with a picture and the name of Billy Graham. I remem- ber walking across the farm yard when I scat- tered the feed for the chickens and thinking about the bravery of this new young evangelist and yes, even think- ing he would become well-known because he seemed on fire for God and not on himself. We really enjoyed watching his funeral on television this morning. It was like the other funerals we attended this winter. A Chris- tian funeral is a joyous occasion because we know where that person is now, and it will be forever. The rest is history but isn’t that the way God works? Through all his years of preaching, Billy Graham always made sure he was proclaiming March 14, 2018 Page 7

Here, for the first time, are some of the missing chapters from The Bankruptcy Book explaining many of the ways you too can go broke: Chapter One: Bike Broke- As a kid I mowed lawns at fifty cents a whack, picked fruit and dusted furni- ture in my Grandpa’s furniture store (the worst job I ever had) all so I could buy a Schwinn Continental 10 speed bike. I knew I needed to save up $64 to buy one but by the time I’d acquired that much cash that model was now $79. This was my first experience with how the ravages of inflation can break you. I had to settle for a Schwinn Varsity which only had eight speeds. This was like getting a letter in high school for playing on the golf team or marching in the band, while all the girls were interested in the guys who got their letter playing football. Chapter Two: Scram- bling Your Nest-Egg- The easiest way to go broke is to get divorced every ten years and keep giving half of everything you own to someone you don’t like who wants custody of all the cash.

The two ersatz candidates, the arts editor and the the- atre critic for a weekly newspaper in Eugene, Ore., have filed an affidavit of candidacy in Kansas but must obtain the signatures of 5,000 voters to be on the ballot; they say their campaign seeks to mock Kansas’ lack of standards for candi- dates. We hardly need can- didates from Oregon to tell us that our system of electing state and federal officials has gone haywire. Anyone, it seems, can run for governor. And almost everyone is trying. This crammed-in- a-can approach to campaigns is painted on a long backdrop of history, a cycle of records in the size of stampedes to the governor’s office. In 1982, five Republicans and three Democrats, including incumbent John Carlin, started the race. Four years later, when Carlin was pre- vented by the consti- tution from seeking a third consecutive term, seven Republicans ran for the party’s nomina- tion (Tom Docking, a Democrat and the lieu- tenant governor, was unopposed.). In 1990, six Republicans and three Democrats ran in primaries; in 1994, six Republicans and five Democrats ran for their party’s nomination. The previous record seems to be 1964, when eight Republicans and five Democrats were on the August primary ballot. Other high offices are not immune.
