Apparently the heckling...

We became acquainted over half a century ago and have always shared a keen interest in government and public service. In our lifetimes of serving in public office, and being close observers of the political process, we have never so regularly heard deep expressions of concern from our fellow citizens about the declining state of our political system. Believing that individual freedom is fundamental to our system of “government of, by and for the people,” we are proposing here an idea to expand freedom within our system that w...

You know, Lord, sometimes rereading things from long ago is most interesting. Take for example a remark like, "Do everything without complaining," a Bible verse from Phil 2:14. We probably all know a few chronic complainers. They are impossible to help and never seem to be satisfied with whatever 'we' do to help them, but they won't let 'us' stop trying, so in the end 'we' feel trapped. We just need to make sure that WE are not the chronic complainer, as that gives us a...
Out our way, some folks' kindness and generosity astounds me. I remember when Charlie invited me to come "cowboy" with him the first time. I had no experience or skills, but Charlie took me under his wing anyway and brought me along. I probably was more of a burden than a help, but Charlie took me along anyway. After 6 years riding with Charlie, I hope I eventually began to be of some use to him. I am sure there were plenty of others - folks who already knew how to ride and...
OH! What a day! So overcast outside and in my heart. No Sun today - too many clouds, how does a good day start? We can't see you; can you see us and watch us as we sleep? That is a very special thought, it almost makes us weep. Some days it seems you send a hug; we'd like to call you home! You do send signs with friends and cards; we know we're not alone. We may be wishing "days away," while picturing Heaven's gate. The day will come when God calls us – "Home coming" will b...

The senior, a three-time Class A All-State performer, has helped the Blue Ponies reach new heights and qualify for the Class A State Tournament in Missoula...
For a guy who loves the Havre Blue Pony basketball teams, and pretty much all things University of Montana, next week just doesn't get any better. That's because the Blue Ponies, both teams, are headed to Missoula for the 2022 Class A state basketball tournament, which will take place inside the famed Dahlberg Arena on UM's campus. And while the Blue Ponies would be happy playing anywhere, for this guy, the fact that they're playing inside Dahlberg is a big cherry on top. But...
