Not every ruffed grouse across Pennsylvania is quite the same as the next.

A #WildSciPA video available on the Game Commission’s YouTube channel shows just what

As I watched the report of Polish President Andrzej Duda pledging four MiG 29 fighter jets to Ukraine, I realized this high-stake game of poker had just been raised significantly.

Another Upward basketball season is in the books, and once again, I had just a wonderful time coaching the kids — 4th, 5th, and 6th graders — entrusted to me. I also did a little refereeing of the games I did not coach. In Matthew 19, 14, Jesus said, “Let the children come to me,
I was talking with someone the other day, and they told me they saw what looked like an unusually large crow. When I said that what he saw was very likely a raven and not a crow, he seemed a little surprised. What’s interesting is that about ten minutes before our conservation, I watched a
