You know, Lord, as the days simply seem to zip on by, glancing out, we notice that it is almost spring; the March winds are blowing less, cattle are resting after feeding, birds swoop here and there and we can see many Babies all around, almost anywhere one looks. We've seen: foals, calves, lambs, chicks, kids and kits and April is just around the corner. From "God's Calendar" we read: "April is a gentle maiden with eyes sky blue, she's 'dressed' in a green kirtle (dress)...
Dear, you are missed, you've gone ahead, you're with Jesus above. Parents, siblings, a child, or spouse; you're clothed now in/with God's love. We're born to die, to go back home, twill mend our breaking heart. Could be real soon, we don't know when our leavings on God's Chart. Meanwhile we wait, a memories flow; those 'memory-gates' don't close. We're lonely here, we miss them so, more than one really knows. Our love's not gone, it's safe inside - a bond that we did share....

I’ve been around animals enough in my life to know that they can sense when humans are vulnerable, and most of them are perfectly willing to capitalize on our weak moments — apparently they see our habit changes during the pandemic as a chance for an uprising. “No deaths have been reported,” an article on Huffington Post says, but in just one week we’re seeing a lot of activity. CBC News reported Tuesday that a moose “made its way” through a Sherbrooke, Quebec, neighborhood...
I won’t pretend I understand. I won’t say I get it when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, or the anti-vaxx movement in general. In fact, I don’t really understand any of the pushback against the biggest public health crisis we’ve seen in more than 100 years. I admit, to me, it’s a head scratcher. But, I’m also not interested in arguing or fighting about it either. And I truly don’t expect people to listen to me. I’m not a doctor or a scientist. I’m just somebody who...
Out our way, you do hear and see some strange things. Like some friends of mine who claimed a mountain lion had gotten into their backyard. "Seriously? Come on, you guys live in the middle of town. There is no way a lion would be in your backyard!" Yet they insisted it was true. Well a few years later I was out at the stable where I kept Doc and Babe - which is also in town - and as I was grooming Doc, he started getting agitated. I couldn't figure out what his problem was...
As we recently marked one year of the pandemic, we are now in the phase that reminds me of Holy Saturday - the day before Easter's resurrection celebration that is shadowed by enduring grief and the discomfort of a still uncertain future. Holy Saturday is the day after. It's a day of silence, stillness and waiting. The tomb has been made secure and the only thing certain is that things have changed and something has been lost. Still fresh in our minds are those who grieve...
The Montana State University-Northern football team is off to a sluggish start this shortened spring season with an 0-2 record. They will only have two more chances to win a game this season, but they will get to do it at their brand new football stadium on the MSU-N campus. The Lights will get their first chance when they open the stadium with a game against Rocky Mountain College this Saturday. "It's a big deal for our team. It's a big deal for our university, for the...

They first play on the road at Browning today before playing at Columbia Falls Saturday. As the Blue Ponies head into the weekend, HHS head coach Tony Vigliotti believes his team is finally ready to start playing. "You hope you can see your girls be aggressive at the plate. Make the plays they need to make defensively,"...
With the Frontier Conference postseason tournament beginning Tuesday, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team is looking to be playing their best volleyball. However, the Skylights did not get their late-season momentum going Thursday night at the Armory Gymnasium as they lost to Rocky Mountain College, 3-1.
