Simpler Times has been described as a nostalgic slice of America. Anyone looking for a brief escape from today’s chaotic life is encouraged to pick up this book. In these pages, readers will learn about a young woman named Rose and how she finds her strength when her army husband Flynn is deployed. In an unlikely place, she finds what she and Flynn have only dreamed of. But can it all come and be taken away so quickly? Could their connection transcend all understanding?

Trisha has loved writing and journaling all her life, but it never occurred to her until the last few years to write a novel of her own. Koop Abear shared that making “Simpler Times” was a labor of love and a dream come true.

The Kingery family to perform at the Park Show on June 1Brainerd – The Kingery family from central Minnesota has been beloved since the Park Show began as a family of 10 – Mike, Chris and their eight children singing and ministering together through music. It has grown to include three sons-in-law and nine grandchildren. They have loved singing together for the past 18 years. They sing primarily gospel bluegrass, but also incorporate fiddle, patriotic, Americana and a cappella. Their combination of tight harmonies, uplifting songs and family unity is sure to inspire. The hope of the Kingery family is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and draw others to Him. “I will praise the name of God with song, and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.”—Psalm 69:30.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under the guise of “staff.” Typically, “staff” bylines are used when rewriting basic newsletters originating from official sources, such as city press releases about road closures, and require little coverage. This byline is sometimes used when a news story has many authors or is formed by aggregating news previously reported from various sources. If external sources were used, they will be noted in the story.
