My husband John and I bought a new car. And by new car, I mean we bought a car that is 14 years old, but it has barely over 100,000 miles on it, so it’s definitely new-new to us. In fact, it’s six years newer than the car it’s replacing. A lovely, understated tan car that died in six-vehicle pileup about three years ago. We loved the tan car so much that we shopped and shopped for another one, but they were too popular either to afford, or to stay on sale long enough for us to find and buy before some other lucky devil did....
One year into this pandemic, Montanans are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our vaccines are safe and effective, COVID-19 cases are falling thanks to the tireless efforts of our front line health care workers, and Spring is on the horizon. But even with this good news, we still have work to do before we get through the worst public health and economic crisis in generations. Over the past year I’ve had hundreds of conversations with families, workers, doctors, educators, veterans, farmers, tribes, a...

Out our way, when Charlie and I went to work the herd on the Tiger Ridge, our first task on arrival was to unload Doc and Jet and saddle them up. Now, I confess to being a tad prejudiced, but I was pretty proud of my rig - i.e. saddle. Not the fanciest or newest, but I confess it looked fine on ole Doc. 16½ hands of pure quarter horse, 1,200 pounds of power, and that saddle just fit him perfectly. In addition, I was also pretty proud of my own gear. My hat, scarf, work...
In our Roman Catholic Christian tradition, the scripture readings for this Sunday, March 28 lead us from the highest praise and exultation to the very pit of despair - the grave. The scripture readings for Palm Sunday are as follows: Mark 11:1-10 Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Isaiah 50:4-7 we hear of the Suffering Servant. Philippians 2:6-11 we hear of Jesus being obedient to the point of death. Mark 14:1-15:47 Mark's version of the last supper and Jesus' Passion &...

I just had to send a note to tell you how much I care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would want to talk with me too. I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you - and I waited. You never came. It hurt me - but I stil...
