Weed, bug and heat season is not the time to be made of soft, fleshy parts — and, yet, here I am. Again. There’s this one part of spring that I really look forward to each year. Not that there’s anything wrong with spring as a whole. It’s no autumn, and, as a whole, it beats the pants off of summer and winter, but there’s that sweet spot of spring when everything has turned green and it makes my eyes sigh. That sweet spot isn’t only about everything being green — it’s pret...
In a monthly press call Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., provided details regarding a recently agreed-upon framework for a massive $579 billion increase in infrastructure spending that could, if passed, invest a significant amount of money into the nation's roads, bridges, airports, water and broadband infrastructure without the need for new taxes. "For a country that has been living for years off our parents' and grandparents' infrastructure, this is a big deal," Tester said. He...

Last Saturday night, I did something I am pretty proud of. I summited Mount Otis in exactly 28 minutes from my car to the bench at the top. I don’t know if this is a good time, a great time, or nothing to write home about, but for me, it was pretty fast. However, that isn’t what I’m most proud of myself for on my quick trip up and down one of the more iconic peaks in the Bear Paw Mountains. Instead, the pride I feel comes from the amount of trash I carried down with me on my descent. Of course, pride isn’t the emotion...

Heading into the championship of the Havre Girls Fastpitch Softball B-League, the Chinook team had the advantage as they were undefeated in the double-elimination tournament and could afford a loss in their game against Triple Dog Thursday night at Sixth Avenue Memorial Field.

Out our way, old Highway 2 is mighty busy. I heard it said it is the longest two-lane highway in the country. We see a lot of trucks and such, but also tourists coming to Montana to see the sights. Most are on their way to Glacier and look forward to the spectacular views that are world famous. I suspect we can understand why so many of them passing through the Hi-Line region don't bother to really look around for, to their mind, "there's nothing there." Ah, but we who live he...
Over the last three years, I have written over 40 articles for the Pastor's Corner about faith, God, Christian living and the church. At the end of the month, I will be moving to a new call. My goal has never been to have everyone agree with me all the time but to share my voice as a "young," single, female pastor. I hope that I may have challenged you to question what you believe about the faith you've inherited in conversation with the present-day context that we live, move...
You know, Lord, a friend mentioned that she and several friends had a difficult time trying to go to sleep. Taking pills didn't help, neither did going to bed early or working late. "J.J." smiled and said, "You wanna hear how I do it?" Of course, they wanted to hear. She mentioned that she'd read somewhere about reciting the alphabet - like what? So, struggling with some depression, she thought she would give that a try. But - what was it she was going to alphabetize; she...
