A reflective piece compares Farmville to real agriculture noting endless crops and small margins while highlighting social community as life analogies. It contrasts virtual farming with real world chores and stresses teamwork and relationships beyond online play.
A 1935 photograph shows Peter and Eva Friesen with eight of ten children on an open sleigh headed to a neighbourly visit. Nell and Tom the matched greys pull the sleigh as the rugged family departs the arid Saskatchewan farm for Manitoba.
Rita Friesen reflects on a snowy era of farm life where horses pulled wagons, children hurried home across fields, and moments of danger and humor shaped a community. She recalls June the horse, a prank by a sister with a snowball, and the enduring bond between people, animals, and farming.
Addy Ober reflects on Easter as sacrifice and triumph. He notes Jesus was tried and sentenced to death, bore the cross for sins, rose from the dead, and now intercedes with God, asserting salvation hinges on Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.
Ernie Janzen of Rivers critiques Ruth Pryzner's letter and argues existing media framing misrepresents past school conditions. He recalls 1950s Ontario Manitoba rural schooling, describes harsh discipline, survival hardships, and cautions against judging history by today's standards.
