This week's editorial

Editor Joan Ritchie's editorial from this week's issue of The Moose Jaw Express

For all those who have a business and employ others, do not avert your dreams but look to probabilities. I am focusing on the wisest person in history, King Solomon. He was a man who sought knowledge and wisdom rather than riches.    

From a young age, he knew that in order to set himself apart from his peers he had to seek wisdom over fortune, knowledge over fame, and understanding over power. He knew that if he sought wisdom and knowledge, fame and fortune would come. He understood the benefits of wisdom that are not visible to all, hidden opportunities or traps and secret enemies. 

Wisdom allows an individual to do what others don’t to succeed. 

The trusted newspaper has always been a mainstay in the home for even longer than a century, through wars and plagues and all kinds of disasters. We would just like to say thank you to the numerous people who have contacted us over the last few weeks to let us know that they look to the Moose Jaw Express newspaper being delivered as their trusted source of news each and every week. We adhere to bringing Moose Jaw and area the news that isn’t corrupt or propagating an agenda.

You are not able to trust social media — what you read on Facebook or even the internet — as they aren’t held to the same high standard as newspapers and are full of fallacies. We, however, endeavour to continue bringing you the hard copy news that will be both encouraging and keep you informed as to what is happening locally and in our region. What is rather astonishing to me are those in our community who believe that there is only one source of news out there via Facebook, social media, etc. I find it very disrespectful to our seniors who build this province and many others, to disregard the fact that many of them are not technologically savvy or even interested in getting their news that way and appreciate getting a newspaper each and every week. 

We are entering the Easter season and the most revered as a believer in the Christian faith.  At the same time, we are at a humanitarian crossroads where nothing is familiar and we are battling an enemy that we cannot see, the COVID-19 virus.  As an individual, we need to extend our faith to believe in a God that is also not visible but can be reached at a whisper’s breath, so that we are able to come to terms with who we are, questions regarding eternity and a promise that all will be ok even in the midst of the storm. Although we are all continuing to social distance, I am hoping that you will find the time to ponder on the good news of Easter and be encouraged.
