Reach

When a small business is still going strong after 30 years, you can bet it has at least three things going for it: quality inventory, valued employees and the support of the community. Call it a hat trick for Milano for Men!

“People who’ve never been in the store, are new to the community or may be from a larger city are often surprised to see such a beautiful menswear store in Grande Prairie,” says Rob McConkey, owner of Milano for Men.

The largest stone quarry ever was just discovered in Jerusalem, believed to have been active during the time Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth. 

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) was the one that found the quarry, which was in working order before Jesus was born. 

"The excavation provides a glimpse into Jerusalem’s past at its zenith, just before the Romans destroyed it in 70 (AD)," says IAA in a statement. 

The archaeologists not only discovered perfectly cut stone, but tools people used. 

Ranchers have observed an increase in woody species, such as western snowberry (or buckbrush) and wolf willow in their pasturelands. With the increase of woody species or brush density; comes reduced acres for livestock grazing.  With the loss of grazing acres, comes a large economic cost. With the increased density of woody species, the grassland is also negatively impacted through a shift in the desired plant community. Major barriers to addressing woody encroachment are, that it is time consuming and costly.

Daniel 6

Solomon once wrote: "He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be found out" (Proverbs 10:9). Job became "the greatest of all the men of the east." People respected him because he was "upright, fearing God and turning away from evil" (Job 1:1-3). Job walked securely.

Similar things were said of Joseph. Whether managing workers or handling large sums of money or all alone in the home with Mrs. Potiphar, Joseph could be trusted.

Psalm 119:130

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

Some collegians think manual labour is the president of Mexico—until they graduate. Suddenly the light dawns. Reality frowns. And that sheltered, brainy scholar who has majored in medieval literature and minored in Latin comes of age. He experiences a strange sensation deep within two weeks after framing his diploma.
