You know, Lord, recently, we ran across some interesting truths. When a friend stated that You, Lord, are like an eyelid, we were like, "What? What are you talking about?" Amazingly, we discovered some interesting and surprising pictures in the Bible, things like You, Lord God, as a laboring mother (ISA 42:14) or as a beekeeper (7:18); now that surely was all news to those of us listening! We read in Deuteronomy 32(1) where Moses praises the way You took care of Your people,...

An attempt to rehabilitate the 100-year-old system that supplies much of the water to the Milk River is facing a legal setback.

Brekke is one of about 20 women in Northern's Diesel Technology Program out of 180...
By Emily Mayer Havre was quietly conducting business as usual 100 years ago. Not much was happening outside social gatherings and parties in the homes of Havre’s citizens.

The second winter after my husband, John, and I were married, we took in a stray cat that showed up on our place. She was a beautiful blue-eyed, sealpoint, Siamese-cross with lots of white markings, and at her heaviest she weighed 7 pounds, but she was all sinew, claws and attitude. Mostly attitude. Except that first month or so. We were in the middle of a subzero January cold spell when this emaciated thing came hobbling by me trying very unsuccessfully to catch an...
Going into the 2020 NAIA national tournament, Nick Kunz had a mindset not unlike any other confident wrestler — believing he could win a national championship. However, unlike most wrestlers that went to Wichita, Kansas to compete in the national tournament earlier this month, the Montana State University-Northern junior backed it up. And Kunz, who won the NAIA 125-pound national title back in March did it in a fashion that was surprising to some, given he was seeded just 1...
It has been quite the year for District 9C basketball. The Hi-Line saw undefeated streaks, heart-stopping performances and, as always, intense battles within the 9C.

In the Catholic faith tradition, the readings for this Sunday, March 29, are Ezekiel 37:12-14, Romans 8:8-11 and the Gospel of John 11:1-45. The reading from Ezekiel is the prophesy that God tells Ezekiel to make to the people saying that their graves will be opened and they will be brought back to the land of Israel and that they will know that the Lord is their God. The people are also told that God will put his Spirit in them that they may live in relationship with God. The reading from Romans has the apostle Paul telling...
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. This year, I adapted the story about the roping instructor telling Jeff to “Get a good start. Take a good throw.” I shared with the congregation to get up in the morning and say, “Love God. Love one another.” I encouraged the flock to practice saying this for the next 21 days as that is the length of time it typically takes to form a new habit. This week, I want to continue to...
