You turn to the weird news of the world: While the temperatures have been hot all across Montana the past few weeks, the east coast has seen some record high temperatures. With those stories dominating the news it makes sense that NBC affiliate WDSU in New Orleans thought to go “there.” By which I mean “down there.” You know, the unmentionable down there that you would find showing at a nudist colony — and they...

Dirt flew into the crowd as four battered cars - growling with force - spun and rammed and burrowed into each other. Every impact in the arena elicited cheers and oohs and aahs from the crowd. On the front bleacher, a family of four watched, two opened bright-colored umbrellas serving as a shield for the stroller, a golden-haired toddler behind the other. It was the demolition derby - there was one more day before the 2016 Hill County Fair was over - and there was little room...

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Currently in our area, harvest is underway. The combines work long days bringing in the crops. When you ride in a combine you look down and see the crop. Hopefully you do not have rocks in the field that can damage your equipment and interrupt harvest. The soil of our hearts determines the crops that we will have in our lives. Mark 4:8 states, “Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying t...

Many years ago when God called me into the ministry, he was specific about me being a Presbyterian. That called for an intense study of the Holy Scri...

This week though, the Ponies are taking part in their most organized activities of the summer as they...

And, as the 2016 Frontier season approaches, there are certainly some quality quarterbacks around the conference. However, there are also some up-and-comers and some fresh faces that will have to adapt to the always defensive and difficult Frontier. One of th...
