After spending more than a year with the doors closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hill County senior citizens centers are reopening next week. “It’s a joyous occasion, because for over 16 months, we’ve been closed to most of the public.

I just spent a week on a tractor cleaning my corrals and doing some dirt work, which gave my brain far too much time to get lost in philosophical contemplation, and this week my brain settled in to ponder the Law of Unintended Consequences. I know, that sounds intriguing, right? Most of us are familiar with Murphy’s Law — Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong — but Unintended Consequences is like Murphy’s intellectually deeper and marginally more optimistic cousin....

As the calendar turns to July, Ethan Carlson knows that his time in the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club is coming to an end. As a senior, he has just over a month left in his Northstar career. Even though he has enjoyed his final year on the team, the fact that his time on the diamond is almost up is not lost on him. "It's different," said Carlson on how this season feels. "It feels like every game could be my last. That's a realistic feeling this year because...
Out our way, trail drives are rare these days but come the fall and spring, there comes the time to gather and then push the herd from one pasture to the next. Compared to the old days, such "trail drives" are pretty easy and unremarkable, but some things never change. Riding drag is still the low end of the herding experience. Traditionally, the folk tapped to ride drag were the least skilled and unimportant of the wranglers. To ride flank or swing required a higher skill...
I preached a sermon this past Sunday. Here are some of my notes: Temptation lures us into wanting, craving something that we shouldn't have - for fame, fortune, wisdom, or pleasure. Temptation never delivers on its promise. Rather, it deceives you and gives you something else. Most often the state you are left in after succumbing to temptation is worse than the state that you were trying to escape. If you are not careful, the vicious cycle will continue. So let's learn what...
You know, Lord, You have given to us some days that are special and worth a celebration and there's one very special one this Sunday, that would be the Fourth of July! May we pause to consider what it means to be an American. America was not founded on the idea of being "free-lunch" - we are given the opportunity to work and to feel good about ourselves and we are to help others. Your Word says we are to pray for our leaders, too. A friend shared the little piece below which...
We grieving folks may read a card; takes us an extra 'mile'. Each word still holds a special thought, which still brings on a smile. The precious gift of love 'they' gave, blessed us who did receive. And in our summers bright sun light, they don't want us to grieve. But sometimes we so sadly long for all our yesterdays; Their chats are missed, their kindness, too, and understanding ways. Sometimes a memory sheds warm light, that "light" shines in the dark; And eases pain,...
