Jutting out of Wisconsin into the blue waters of Lake Michigan, the scenic peninsula of Door County is endowed with the longest coastline of any county in the nation. Since the mid-1800s, the region has boasted a strong maritime industry, dependent on the constant vigilance and efforts of U.S. Coast Guard units. The county has been home to as many as 12 historic light stations, as well as three life-saving stations. Beginning with Pottawatomie Light in 1837 and Sturgeon Bay Canal Life-Saving Station in 1886, keepers and surfmen survived both boredom and peril to ensure safe navigation and commerce, while rescuing those in distress. Through archival photographs, stories of shipwrecks, rescues, service, and pride spring to life. Rare rescue images of the Otter, a schooner which wrecked in 1895, are especially noteworthy.

This is the compelling story of the seven-year quest that inspired a monumental work of Native American art - the carving of an entire buffalo skeleton with the seven sacred rites of the Lakota Sioux. At the heart of this story lie the history &amp; traditon of a proud and deeply spiritual people, the Lakota, and a message of hope for people of all origins.

What Did You Say? Power of the Tongue is about words from your mouth. Words are the most powerful gift God has given us. When God speaks out into the atmosphere, it becomes what He spoke. We use our mouth for many things. The tongue can speak faith-filled words, and it can speak curses. Let us listen for God to speak to us. Speak bold prayer out into the atmosphere. Let your faith rise as God is listening to your prayers. Speak bold prayers. Shift the atmosphere. We are in His image. Speak God's Word. Let your faith rise. Listen. He is speaking.
