Dear Editor and Fellow Constituents, Montana’s election process belongs to the people. We want to facilitate open and fair discussions during our primaries. The National Republican Senate Committee Chairman Daines does not need to choose the Arizona candidates or the candidates for Montana … Montanans can pick our own candidates, we do not need rich establishment politicians spoon feeding us our choices for federal or state offices. We want fair and honest elections, not selections. Now is a time for the grassroots of Mon...

Plain and simple — people get sick. Right now, more than 250,000 predominantly low-income Montanans get help with health care through Medicaid — a state-federal partnership. Montana has overall and primary responsibility, while the feds pick up most of the costs, averaging 80% (of total Medicaid spending). In 2022, the federal government provided $1.8 billion to cover health care for Medicaid-eligible Montanans who live in every county across the Big Sky. Remarkably, two-thirds of Medicaid recipients live in our rural communi...
First things first. Our Baby Marley is home. She is home, ready for the hard work of getting healthy and growing and looking at everything around her with those big eyes. We are so grateful. And we are so grateful for all the friends and strangers who cared, who in small ways took our baby in their arms and into their hearts and helped her heal. Thank you. That dog of mine has put me into the habit of greeting the rising sun on our first walk of the day. Believe me, before...

Here it is, February already! I wonder how folks are doing with their new year's resolutions as they apply to physical training/exercise? I also wonder if followers of Christ have made some resolutions with regards to godliness training? The Apostle Paul makes an interesting statement in his letter to his young pastor protege, Timothy. Paul writes: 1 Timothy 4:8: "For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that...
Luke 17:6 "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed ...." Out our way, we don't see a lot of celebrities, but one day a few years back I ran into "Will Smith." OK, not the real dude, but a look alike that came pretty close to the "Fresh Prince of BelAir." As some of you know, "Doc" has a girlfriend, a gorgeous auburn colored pinto named "Babe." She is a lot smaller than Doc, but she is as smooth-as-silk in her gaits and a good ride. Unfortunately, she was raised in...

You know, Lord, when we ask You to bless us or to bless others, we are asking You to impart Your favor, protection and peace. Blessings prayed for others have a way of returning to bless the one who prayed. Yes, we are born to die and several folks we know, have recently passed on to You. Can't we just imagine how John kissed his son, Fred, tucked him into bed, and said, "Good night, and God bless you, my precious son." Then, years later, when Freddy was visiting his frail...
