Here is the letter in its entirety:

Psalm 5:8

God's voice isn't all that difficult to hear. In fact, you almost have to be closing your eyes and stopping your ears to miss it.

He sometimes shouts through our pain, whispers to us while we're relaxing on vacation, occasionally He sings to us in a song, and warns us through the 66 books of His written Word. It's right there, ink on paper.

Count on it—that Book will never lead you astray.

CJ 1150 has been a leading voice in local news, sports, and weather for the entire region for decades.

Starting this morning, the legacy of CJ 1150 will continue to grow, but with a slightly different sound.

With Saskatchewan radio legend Rob Carnie taking the helm in the mornings, you will continue to hear the local voices that are so important to you, and you will be able to dance and sing along to the greatest hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s as CJ 1150 offers you Saskatchewan’s Best Music.  

Wednesday, November 15 marks an exciting change to radio in Estevan and the surrounding area.  

The popularity of country music continues to grow, and the genre, growing bigger than ever, reigns supreme. Today, Golden West in Estevan is excited to unveil the new Country 106.1.  

"Country music is a red-hot format across Saskatchewan, and there's a massive appetite for the genre in the southeast," said Golden West's program director in Estevan, Andrew McCormack. "We're listening to what the community wants, and that's country music on the FM dial."

‘Twas the month before Christmas and all through the Inn, the guests did make merry with colleagues and kin…

This November 24-26, Roadhouse 52 Inn & Suites will be putting a local touch on the holiday season with the Christmas Gift & Getaway Weekend. Packages are now on sale and include a two-night stay, a Christmas film, a choice of spa treatment or Christmas decor workshop, as well as a vendor market and tasting event.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

There's an old Swedish motto that hangs in many a kitchen: "Shared joy is a double joy. Shared sorrow is half a sorrow."

The secret of survival is not simply enjoying life's joys and enduring its sorrows, it is in sharing both with others.

We gain perspective by having somebody at our side. We gain objectivity. We gain courage in threatening situations. Having others near tempers our dogmatism and softens our intolerance. We gain another opinion. We gain what today, in our technical world, is called "input."

The radio landscape in Estevan is about to change.

Our local radio stations have continually championed our communities, providing local information and a platform for community voices and organizations, along with entertaining hosts, great music, and relevant daily news coverage.  

That will continue to be better than ever, and what will change will be exciting for Estevan and the southeast.

Romans 15:7

If you don't get your way, get over it, get on with life.If you don't get your way in a vote at a church, get over it. The vote was taken (if the church has integrity, the vote was handled with fairness), now get on with it. Just press on.

And don't rehearse the fight or the vote year after year. The work of God slows down when we are not big enough to take it on the chin and say, "We lost!"

Having been raised in the South, I didn't know the South lost the Civil War until I was in junior high school...and even then it was debatable among my teachers.
