It’s hard to pretty up a home when you have all the decorating instincts of an average sixth-grader. I have countered this lack of style savvy, though, with all the ambition and focus of that sixth-grader’s twin. Given the state of my character, and the fact that I am sitting here in the deteriorating wasteland of our old trailer house, while we whittle away at finishing building our new home – which is going slowly largely because “design decisions are haaaaaard,” as I like...
Instead of tackling coal revenue and job loss, Montana Republicans tabled HB646, substituting an alternative 2023 “study” about dwindling coal use. The “study” will be too late for coal-impacted communities like Sidney; its Lewis and Clark Power Plant just closed. MDU will employ shuttered plant workers. However, that doesn’t help those who serviced the plant, like Westmoreland’s Savage miners. HB646 would assist them. When helping little ones, we don’t “study” what happened. We change the diaper. Likewise, change now will b...

Out our way, the roundup is the payoff. Pulling calves in February, hauling feed during blizzards, riding fence and constantly checking the herd, moving them to better pasture when the land is being overgrazed and such is what we do day in and day out. But come the roundup when we drive them to the loading corrals and ship them off is when all that work is done. Now, Big Mike, who leased the land and owned the cattle, put together a pretty big crew that day. He had a crew to...
Easter is an obvious high point in the church calendar. Where does that leave us now, in this week after Easter? After the crescendo of Easter celebrations, how could the week after not feel like a bit of a letdown, like we can't quite muster the same energy to sing alleluias as loudly as we did on Easter morning? However, really every week for us is after Easter. Our whole lives exist in the aftermath of the first Easter morning some 2,000 years ago. The lectionary readings...
March has marched off with a bit of snow and now - woo-hoo! - It's spring! The birds came back, flocks of them. It's great to hear them sing. Cows graze on hills not far from here, it's fun to watch calves' play; they run and jump and stop for lunch, even if day is gray. Small planes were heard, some flew quite low, just checking out the land?? Or just for fun, fly round and round, or check on cattle's brand? One plane was small, 'twas red and white. Flying across blue sky; a...
