Drama and complications are two different things. Drama I actively work to avoid. Complication seems to be second nature. It started with a simple statement: “I need to get the horses locked up for the summer to let that pasture grow.” How hard is it to lock three head of tame, broke horses into an already-fenced area? I don’t even have to get halters. I just need to grasp a half of a handful of mane on one horse and lead it into the small pasture. The others will follo...

In light of Easter and celebrating our resurrected Jesus, I was faced with the response of one of Jesus’ disciples named Thomas. Thomas has been marked as “Doubting Thomas” by the Christian movement as a whole. But I believe we miss an amazing message found in the story of Thomas if we leave it there. John tells us about the response of Thomas to the stories of the risen Savior: “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it” (John 20:...
Paul of Tarsus, Apostle of Jesus Christ, literally changed the world through his writing and preaching of Christianity. He is responsible for much of the New Testament and gave us the theological basis for Christianity. Paul wrote about many things but certain things stand out. He taught that Christianity was built on a foundation, first of all the person of Jesus Christ. Then as Paul traveled the Roman Empire, he preached one message: Jesus, the Son of God, was crucified for our sins and then raised from the dead for our...
Then Jesus' mother and brothers came and were standing outside; and they sent and called for him. A crowd was gathered around him and they said, "Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you." And he replied, "Who are my mother and brothers?" And looking around him, he said, "Here are my mother and brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother." - Mark 3: 31-35 Out our way, family is pretty important. Farm and ranch families depe...

The Havre Blue Ponies and Browning Indians were determined to get a softball game in Thursday afternoon - so determined that a little rain wasn't going to stop them. And even though the conditions weren't prime for softball or any sport for that matter, Havre and Browning dealt with the elements in the first Central A conference game of the season for both teams at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field. After the game started, though, it didn't take long to see it wasn't going to be...
