Thanksgiving is a day for the senses… a day when our emotions gorge on sights, sounds, smell, taste and touch. But in the absence of those tangible and delectable experiences, the sense memory can spoil, and the taste can become bittersweet. On this day, my prayer is that you experience the greatest sense of all – the knowledge that you are greatly loved.

Wading into the waters of web and graphic design can be intimidating. Where do you begin? How much will it cost? Do you hire someone or attempt to tackle it yourself? What about maintenance? How do you choose from the sea of web developers and designers? Or do you trust Cousin Fred to do the job?

What’s in a logo?
A logo is just one piece of the brand identity puzzle… but an important one! It’s the foundational piece that all the other pieces connect with to create the full picture of your business. A logo should be more than just your business name or a piece of clip art. It communicates not only what you DO, but who you ARE. A good logo communicates all of this in a clean, simple, unique, and memorable visual.
Jo Zaiser – A ‘Joy’ful Teacher
The Power and Positive Impact of a Teacher. Fourth grade. It was a BIG DEAL at Nisswa Elementary School. I had the honor and privilege of being in Mrs. Zaiser’s homeroom for two years, spending those formative years of fourth and fifth grade under her firm but loving guidance.
