A fairly new feature in the Nebraska Family Times is the Sponsor Spotlight. Every month, a sponsor or advertiser is featured in an article about how that business was started, what makes that business unique, and so on. Readers are eager to read about and support Christian businesses, and we are happy to learn more about these businesses and give them some publicity.
Would you like your business to appear in the Sponsor Spotlight? We would love to feature you! Please e-mail shelly@shellyburke.net and I will send you a brief questionnaire and set up a time to talk with you about your business.
Do you know a business that sponsors the Nebraska Family Times and you would like to see in the Sponsor Spotlight? Encourage them to contact me, or contact me with your suggestion and I will contact them!
We appreciate your support!

Delivery Day
I finished deliveries in Norfolk today, and also got papers mailed to subscribers and sponsors.
I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy delivery day, and today was no exception! I met several people I hadn’t met before, and heard from others how much they enjoy reading the paper. It was also very gratifying to see that in several locations, most of the papers had been taken!
Would you like to be a sponsor and offer free issues of the Nebraska Family Times in your place of business? A sponsorship is only $10/month for 10 copies of the paper. Many businesses report that customers come in every month to pick up a copy of the paper and do business at that location! You can also have the papers mailed to you and distribute them to friends, co-workers, or people in your congregation. It’s a great way to spread positive news, and inspire, encourage, and motivate people in their Christian walk.
For more information, e-mail me at shelly@shellyburke.net or call (402) 993-2467 or (402) 750-3496.

Picking up the Paper
I went to Wayne to pick up the paper today. As I’ve said before, it’s always fun to see how it turned out in “real life.” I know the trend is for newspapers to appear online and “real life” print newspapers are becoming fewer and fewer. But I, for one, will never stop reading an actual book or newspaper. One of my favorite things to do is lie in bed, eat popcorn, and read a book . . . I can’t imagine that it would be quite the same “turning pages” on a computer, as it is turning actual paper pages!
I think many others feel the same way, at least I hope they do! There is just something about reading a newspaper that you can feel, and see more than one article at a time, and clip article and cartoons out of to look at again later. I hope that people feel that way about the Nebraska Family Times!
As always, if you have any complaints, compliments, or suggestions about what appears in the paper, or what you’d like to see in it, please let me know! I appreciate your comments—they help me print and write articles that you want to read

Cody's Senior Pictures
Cody had his senior pictures taken today. I still have a hard time believing that he’s a senior! It seems just a short time ago that he started high school. I think the pictures went well (an NO, I didn’t take pictures of Karen taking pictures of him!); it was a little chilly for the outside pictures but the grass is still green and I think she got some good pictures of him.
It's just another reminder that Cody's time at home is limited . . . I've shared before that it's a bittersweet time for me. I pray that we've taught him, and will continue to teach him, what he needs to succeed on his own and become a productive member of society.

AKSARBEN Cattle Show
Cody and Morgan exhibited their cattle, and Morgan her sheep, at the AKSARBEN cattle show this weekend at the Quest Center in Omaha. (Did you know that AKSARBEN is “Nebraska” spelled backwards? I didn’t until several years ago, and still don’t know why they used it as the name of a show . . . )
It was a very successful weekend. One of Cody’s steer, named The Yellow Steer, was a Reserve Division winner, and Morgan’s heifer, Amber, was the Supreme Champion Breeding Heifer! People from 5 states exhibit at AKSARBEN (despite the show being named after “Nebraska”) so it’s a big win. Pictures appear in this post.
Many of our other cattle-showing friends won honors at the show, also. It’s neat to see the kids’ hard work pay off. They work with their animals every day—often putting them in the air-conditioned barns before school, and when the weather is warm, the animals often don’t go back outside until after dark.
Part of the fun is also seeing friends, and it was fun to spend time with and catch up with many of our friends.

October Issue Completed!
October Issue Completed!
The October issue of the Nebraska Family Times is complete! There is always a feeling of satisfaction in getting it done.
A new feature in the Nebraska Family Times is the “From Our Readers” section, where comments from readers will be published. I look forward to what YOU have to say—about the paper or current issues. Your letter could be published! You may submit your letter by e-mail to shelly@shellyburke.net or by regular mail to Nebraska Family Times, 42887 G. G. Road, Genoa, NE, 68640.
October is clergy/pastor appreciation month! In the paper you’ll find ideas for showing your pastor or clergy person how much you appreciate what he (or she) does.
I’ve received several comments/letters regarding listing sponsors of the Nebraska Family Times. When I took over the paper I decided to add more articles and information in the form of The Play Room pages, in place of listing sponsors. However, in light of the comments, we will bring back a list of sponsors in some form, perhaps listing sponsors from a city or several towns, every month. We appreciate our sponsors and THANK them for making the paper available! If you get your paper at a local business, please thank them for making the paper available to you!
We have lost several sponsors in the last few months. In an effort to continue to make the paper available, the Nebraska Family Times has continued to stock papers at those locations. However, the number of papers I can contribute at no cost is limited. Would you or your business like to sponsor the Nebraska Family Times?
You can make a one-time contribution towards sponsorship, or sponsor for one month or as many months as you’d like. A sponsorship costs $10/month for 10 papers to that location; you can sponsor more papers if you’d prefer. Please contact me if you’d like more information. You can reach me by e-mail at shelly@shellyburke.net or call (402) 750-3496 or (402) 993-2467.
