Nearly 50 years ago, a Seattle juvenile court judge came up with the idea of using trained volunteers to appear in court to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children as a way to get more information about their individual cases. Today, nearly a thousand local Court Appointed Special Advocate programs exist in 49 states, including Oregon. CASA volunteers provide the court with regular updates about a child’s particular case and make recommendations about their placement, informed through monthly visits with the child and discussions with their teachers, counselors and others involved in their welfare.   But meeting the growing need for CASAs in Oregon and the rest of the nation is getting tougher. In April, the national CASA organization announced the termination of federal grants totaling millions of dollars which would have been disbursed to state and local CASA programs. That’s in addition to the loss of a $1.7 million federal community project grant earmarked for Oregon’s 19 local CASA programs.    Joining us to share their experiences are Amy Muñoz, who has been serving Jackson County as a CASA volunteer for seven years, and Rachel Robb, who was sworn in as a CASA volunteer serving  Malheur County in January.  

   The Department of Justice is convening a Grand Jury as they investigate the Russia hoax.  It's believed this will take place in Florida but don't get too excited that you'll see Barack Obama in an orange jumpsuit any time soon.    Sydney Sweeney has now been outed as full on Republican and this likely explains why the left went nuts about her jeans commercial.  But sweet Syd is just a reflection of her generation and that's the real problem for Dems.    Frank White could be voted out of office in Jackson County as a special election is set for September 30.  The Royals fall in Boston as Bailey Falter gets bombed in his first start for KC.  The Chiefs are favored in every game this year.  The Coaches poll is out in college football and only one of our area teams is ranked.    There's drama at training camps for the Browns and Cowboys and an NHL mascot is too much for a giant bear.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 85-87]“Stand Ye in Holy Places”August 4 – August 10, 2025WEEK 32 SUMMARY=================Doctrine and Covenants sections 85–87, received between August and December 1832, were revealed to Joseph Smith during a formative period for the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, amidst challenges like persecution, internal dissension, and the organization of the growing church in Kirtland, Ohio, and Jackson County, Missouri. Section 85 addresses the importance of record-keeping and the consequences of unfaithfulness among those called to gather in Zion, emphasizing that only the obedient will receive their inheritance in the designated holy land. Section 86 interprets the parable of the wheat and tares, teaching that the righteous (wheat) will be gathered while the wicked (tares) will be destroyed at the Lord's coming, reinforcing the doctrine of divine judgment and the gathering of Israel. Section 87, a prophecy on war, foretells the American Civil War and other global conflicts, highlighting God's sovereignty over nations and the ultimate triumph of His kingdom, urging the Saints to prepare spiritually for turbulent times. These revelations provided doctrinal clarity and divine guidance for the early Saints navigating their role in establishing Zion amid external and internal trials.SPARK 1: PEACE BE STILL================OBJECT LESSON: “Thus Saith the Still Small Voice”: Haptics Phone AnalogySPARK 2: A HOUSE DIVIDED===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Let the Wheat and the Tares Grow Together”: Disappearing Tares TrickSPARK 3: STANDING STRONG=============================OBJECT LESSON: “Stand Ye in Holy Places”: Be Not Moved Battleship GamesCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:05:08 QUICK GLANCE00:08:46 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:19:12 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:24:02 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:25:57 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:33:37 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:38:28 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:40:19 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:49:46 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:55:03 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:57:16 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

   On a day www.fox4kc.com reports that if the Royals leave it will be Mayor Q's fault, we learn that Frank White has blown it again for Jackson County.  If/when the Royals and Chiefs leave the sports complex, it will definitely be more of a Frank White problem than the mayor.  In a recent letter to the governor, White offers to cut off the Royals completely AND lower the money the Chiefs get from a 3/8 cent sales tax.   Between he two of them, it has to be over in Jackson County.    I met a friend yesterday, not a conservative, and we had a chatty waiter.  What happened when the waiter asked what I do for a living was an eye opening moment for the young man, if only he wanted to open his eyes.  I was literally talking to two people that will save $16,800 between them in federal taxes next year and don't believe it's true.    The Kansas economy is ranked third to the bottom of states in the country, the first lady is helping Trump with his Russia policy and Lambert Field in St. Louis had a waiting line out the door almost to I-70 yesterday.   In sports, the Big Dumper wins the home run derby, the Royals have the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way and Fox Sports 1 fires almost everybody.  Then, our Final Final is buyer beware if you're trying to become an extra on the set of Ted Lasso filming in KC.

Revelation Dates: March – April, 1832 Revelation Places: Hiram Ohio and Jackson County, Missouri Section 81 - Historical Background: This revelation was given originally to a relatively unknown person named Jesse Gause, to be a counsellor to Joseph Smith in the Presidency of the High Priesthood. However, Gause was unfaithful so he was replaced by Fredrick G. Williams. This Presidency was a forerunner to the “First Presidency” which was formally organized a year later, on March 18, 1833. When these revelations were published in 1835, section 81 was changed to omit the name of Jesse Gause and replace it with Frederick G. Williams. This section is more relevant to the calling of counsellor to the Prophet, his duties and the  designation of priesthood keys to the First Presidency, than it is to an individual at the time the revelation was given; hence the name change to Gause's replacement, Frederick G. Williams.    Recap: Frederick G. Williams to be called as a High Priest and counsellor to Joseph Smith in the Presidency of the High Priesthood, which Presidency shares the keys to the kingdom. Pray always, proclaim the gospel, promote Jesus Christ, be faithful, strengthen the weak. Section 82 - Historical Background: The mobs were so troublesome, that Joseph and Sidney left Hiram Ohio and travelled to Independence, Missouri where Joseph was joyfully welcomed by the saints in Zion. On April 26, 1832, Joseph held a church conference where he was sustained as the President of the High Priesthood. During the conference, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: The congregation is commanded to repent, for where much is given much is required. The Lord explains that the people ask for revelations and receive them, but then trample on their new knowledge. The Lord is bound to bless them when they are obedient, but when they are disobedient they have no promise. Zion must strengthen and enlarge her stakes. Every family leader is to be given a stewardship to improve the welfare of family and church. The Law of Consecration is a permanent and everlasting law of God. Make friends with your enemies and let God be their judge. Section 83 - Historical Background: After closing church conference in Independence, Joseph went to visit the settlement of the Colesville saints. They rejoiced with Joseph and expressed great love and support. Returning to Independence, Joseph received this revelation dealing with the responsibility in the church over women, children and the poor. Recap: All faithful women of the church have claim on their husband to provide for their needs. If the woman becomes unfaithful, she will not be included in the congregation, but she will still have legal rights to her stewardship. All children have claim upon their parents until they are of age. The bishop's storehouse will provide for the needs of widows, orphans and the poor.

In 2020, the Almeda Fire ripped through Jackson County, destroying homes and ecosystems. The “Think Out Loud” team traveled to Southern Oregon recently and talked to residents about how they’re thinking about fire in their communities now.

Tucker Teutsch is the executive director of the Firebrand Resiliency Collective. It supports long-term natural disaster preparedness, recovery and resilience. Teutsch led us on a tour around Thorpe’s home, which is prepared to withstand ember attacks. Teutsch also took the team around his own property, which needs a lot more work to be prepared for wildfires. About four miles north of Talent, the team also spoke to Glenn Hill in Phoenix. He’s lived in the Rogue Valley for decades. Hill has triad asthma and the condition is affected by smoke. He told us more about living with both.

Revelation Dates: August 1831 Revelation Places: Jackson County, Missouri; Banks of the Missouri River; Kirtland Ohio Section 60 - Historical Background: After being in Jackson County, Missouri for only 3 weeks, Joseph Smith and other church leaders had accomplished much, including holding a church conference, the settlement of newly arriving saints, identified the site of the New Jerusalem and dedicated the new temple site, dedicated the land for the inheritance of the saints, and received several new revelations. Now, the Lord asks Joseph and the leaders of the church to return to Kirtland, Ohio. Recap: The leaders of the church are instructed to return to Kirtland, Ohio. They are reprimanded for not preaching the gospel on their journey from Kirtland, because of the fear of wicked men. They are commanded to preach along the journey back, some by St. Louis and others by Cincinnati. Don't idle away time nor bury your talents. Section 61 - Historical Background: As Joseph and 10 others returned to Kirtland, they travelled the Missouri River by canoe. Near tragedy struck on day 3 when one canoe capsized and Sidney Rigdon nearly drowned. W. W. Phelps witnessed the destroyer upon the waters while the others heard the awful, satanic noises but did not witness it with their eyes. This greatly troubled the group and Joseph sought counsel from the Lord. Recap: The brethren are chastened for trying to return home too swiftly rather than preaching along the way. Sidney Gilbert and WW Phelps are excused to return immediately home [so they can fulfil their calling to purchase a printing press and transfer it to Independence]. In these last days, the waters are cursed by John the Beloved, and the land is blessed by the Lord. The saints are to journey by land unless the canal is available. Be of good cheer, I am in your midst. Section 62 - Historical Background: On the journey to Cincinnati, Joseph met some of the Elders on their way to Independence which was joyous to everyone. Recap: The Lord is watching the elders on their trek to Zion and is pleased with their testimonies. They are to continue to Zion and then return home, preaching along the way. Section 63 - Historical Background: Upon the return to Kirtland, Joseph, Sidney Rigdon and Oliver Cowdery were immediately engulfed by many questions by the saints and new converts. Joseph inquired of the Lord regarding the purchase of lands and many other concerns and questions. Recap: The wicked and rebellious in the church must repent and become humble or will otherwise be destroyed. Seek not for signs, for they only come by faith. Those guilty of sexual sin must repent or will not be worthy of the Spirit and be destroyed. The obedient will have God's Spirit. The saints are to assemble in Zion, but not in haste lest the inhabitants there become overwhelmed. The Lord prophesies the persecution that will come and war and bloodshed. The Morley farm should be sold and the money sent to Zion. Whitney should keep his store in Kirtland for now. Glorious times are to come, yet the wicked will be plucked from the church. God will not be mocked.

Revelation Dates: August 1-7, 1831 Revelation Places: Jackson County, Missouri Section 58 - Historical Background: In a previous revelation, contained in section 57, the Lord set up the prospect for a Zion society. To achieve the promises from a Zion society the saints were required to achieve sufficient righteousness. However, the Lord knew what would ultimately happen and tried to prepare the saints for the trials and harsh reality that would soon come upon them. Joseph Smith had recently arrived in Jackson County and received this revelation. Recap: After many great tribulations come many great blessings. The saints are laying the foundation for a future Zion society. They must be loyal citizens and obey the laws of the land. Members of the Lord's church must be diligent and anxiously engaged in good, without being compelled or commanded in every detail. Several church leaders are counselled and reprimanded. The saints are commanded to raise the needed funds to purchase lands round about (which unfortunately was not sufficiently obeyed); otherwise there will be bloodshed. A temple spot will be dedicated. Section 59 - Historical Background: As the saints poured into Jackson County from Ohio and elsewhere, they were anxious for counsel from the Lord in the building of Zion. With the convenience of the Prophet Joseph, many had questions for the Lord that could have been answered directly from the scriptures. Recap: Faithful saints will be blessed by the Lord, whether in life or in death. Love the Lord by obeying His commandments. The Lord emphasizes obedience to basic commandments, with special emphasis on the Sabbath day. Obey with cheerfulness and a glad heart. Nothing offends God more than disobedience and not confessing God's hand in all things.

“[David Joy]is a man who sees his homeplace clearly and who writes like his hand was touched by God.” — The New York Times Novelist and essayist David Joy is a tall, lean and red-bearded denizen of the hollers, mountain tops and ridges of Jackson County, North Carolina. He is an obsessive turkey, deer and squirrel hunter, a fisherman who wrote his first published book on fly fishing but who is equally at home running live baits for big flathead catfish on Piedmont rivers. He is on the very short list of great American fiction writers and essayists who hunt and fish and speak for public lands and conservation as naturally as they breathe or write. This podcast was recorded at David's cabin near Little Canada, North Carolina, after a long hike in the Pisgah National Forest to scout new hunting country, in the good company of David's little feist dog, Edie Munster. Listeners who love David's stark and hyper-realistic style of writing, and his oft-times harrowing and unsettling novels, will love when Hal and David talk writing and story after a deep dive on turkey calls and turkey hunting.

"Zion" refers to something that has multiple meanings: Zion can be a place, a people, and a state of heart. It signifies a perfect society, where God dwells with his people, they are united in love and righteousness, and share all things equally. A Place: Zion can be understood as a physical location, like the ancient city of Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem, which will be built in Jackson County, Missouri. A People: Zion also refers to the Lord's people who are of one heart and mind, dwelling in righteousness and sharing all things in common. A State of Heart: Zion is a spiritual quality, a unified society of Latter-day Saints, metaphorically gathered as members of the Church of Christ. A Divine Ideal: Zion represents an ideal society, a "city of holiness" where the Lord's people live in harmony, love, and righteousness. A Call to Action: Latter- day Saints are encouraged to "bring forth and establish the cause of Zion" by building unity, spiritual strength, and righteousness in their homes, communities, and the church. The concept of Zion emphasizes the importance of unity, love, and righteous living as the path to establishing a Zion-like society, both physically and spiritually.
