I have been working to better understand politics and — with Super Tuesday behind us and the Montana primary election still so far in the distance that we can’t see our relevance beyond our in-state races — I’ve stumbled across a New York Times article delving into voting processes in the animal kingdom. The article, “Sneezing dogs, dancing bees: How animals vote” by Elizabeth Preston, was cute, a lot cuter than you would expect out of the Times, which is known to publish nov...

Out our way, winter can be mighty rough. Those “Alberta Clippers” come roaring out of the Arctic dumping now and dropping temperatures well-below freezing. I recall days when the car would not start even in the carport — and times when the plows pushed up snowbanks well over 10 feet high. One October, the snows and cold hit and knocked out power all over the county and folks lived with candles and lanterns for several days. Winter is a dark time, for not only is it cold, but it is bleak. The sun sets early and rises late on t...
Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You to Win!” by world champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Many years ago I remember talking to Wells Lamey about his football career in high school. He just kept practicing and doing his best and eventually other kids quit the sport and by the time he was a senior things worked out pretty well for him. Perhaps you need to be encouraged today to not quit because things are tough right now. A lot of life is showing up and doing the next right...
In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But who do you say that I am?” This is arguably the greatest question ever posed to mankind, but what is noteworthy about the conversation Jesus had with His disciples that day was the question that came earlier. In Matthew 16:13-14, Jesus asked them, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is? The disciples replied, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” In a sense, this is still what people are saying today. Jesus kne...
You know, Lord, a book of devotions began each month with a three-line verse (author unknown) entitled “Gifts of the Season.” February’s gift was The Seed. “Planted in winter’s dark womb, prayer seeds germinate, creating new growth.” We were to trust You, Lord, working unseen, waiting quietly for answers to our prayers. The Wind is the Gift of the Season for March: “Touch of Spirit’s breath offers lift to kites and prayers as March winds praise God.” In March, we’re to pray that this month’s breezes will remind us of the...
