by Emily Mayer There were many articles in the Havre Daily Promoter this week 100 years ago regarding agricultural interests. Locals were organizing in many ways, trying to find new ways to bring income to an economy that had been having problems for several years, the causes including drought, a glut of various products in the market, and depreciated prices. People were losing their farms; in fact, there are numerous entries in the Legal section of the paper of Sheriff Sales of farms that had gone bankrupt. One of those...

The wolf-whistle bird is back. This sharp-voiced bird returns every spring. It has two very distinctive calls. When I hear its voice, I instinctively jerk my head around to see who is either trying to get my attention (Hey you, over here!) or is teasing me with admiration (Wolf-whistle, I kid you not). Then I laugh at myself. Foiled again! The wolf-whistle bird doesn’t sound anything like a love bird, does it? This avian character sounds more like the kind of birds your m...

Matthew 25:40-45 - "As you did it to the least of these ... so you did it for the least of these ... so you also did it unto Me." Out of our way, we remember America is a nation of immigrants. Our ancestors hail from all over the globe. So while 100% American, it is not unusual to hear foreign songs from time to time. There is a German song I learned long ago, before I understood a word of German, called "Mein hut, der hat drei ecken" Translation: "My hat has three corners."...
Debt-free living. That has a pleasant ring to it, doesn't it. Those three simple words have a way of invoking a sense of freedom. They clash with today's norms of mortgages, high interest rates, credit card and consumer debt - where we spend, spend, spend on someone else's dime in a thrillingly euphoric (and often expensive) period of grace. But that grace period ends when the creditors come to call. Ultimately, we are brought to account for our indebtedness. The time comes...
You know, Lord, each and every one of us folks could tell of a single item that holds importance and joy that he or she would never part with. Patty told us of a 50-year-old recipe card that was in her mom's handwriting. Another gal shared that her lovely pink tea-cups, long ago, were her grandma's favorite teacups.
