Tester said the bill includes funds for Montana's roads, bridges, internet, water, and more. He called the legislation a once-in-a-century investment in the nation's infrastructure.

Controversy and conspiracy continue to shadow COVID-19 policies of many organizations. Despite decisions being thoughtfully considered and evidence-driven, the divide witnessed in our community and nation continues to widen. Most recently, hotly debated topics were discussed at our local school board; “Our Children;” “Their future;” and “Their childhoods.” The stresses COVID-19 placed on our children were highlighted, but the decisions of the parents and the adults of our community were somehow left out of the equation. T...
Normally I like baked goods, but when the good being baked day after day after day is me, not cookies or caramel rolls or those little personal-sized quiches, I do not approve. The laughter remaining in me after the grasshoppers got done with it got cooked to an unrecognizable lump then set out on the counter to wither away to a crusty husk of itself. My struggle is so dire that earlier this week I was reduced to cussing out little birds for their crime of being obnoxious. We...

Heading into their first game of the State A tournament this weekend, Havre Northstars head coach Patch Wirtzberger believed his team needed to win it in order to win the double-elimination tournament. If they were going to do that, the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club needed to play their best baseball against the West District champions Glacier Twins on Thursday night at Legion Field. Early on, however, it looked like the Northstars would have no shot at...
While many local baseball fans gathered at Legion Field Thursday to watch the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club play in the State A tournament, there were several other games throughout the day. These games saw the best teams, too, in the state compete for a win to start the State A tournament and to avoid the loser's bracket early. The tournament started Thursday morning with a matchup between the East District champions Glendive Blue Devils and the South...
As most of you know, one of the things I loved about pastoring in rural Montana was being allowed to try my hand as a cowboy. I will always be grateful to Charlie for encouraging that fantasy — but I will also be well aware that I was never very good at it. To put it bluntly, I could never set a horse properly because I have what my percussionist son calls “rhythm deficit disorder.” Even after six years riding Doc, I would still lose my balance easily and bounce rather than flow at the gallop. No wonder I got tossed and b...
On Sunday, July 18, I preached a message titled "It is finished." Here are my notes from that sermon: In John 19:30, Jesus declared: "It is finished." This was a declaration of a mighty, mighty victory. From that day forward, these final words from the cross would serve to change history. First of all, a mission was accomplished. In John 17:4, Jesus states to God, His Father, that He was "finishing the work that you gave me to do." Obviously, there was much more to Jesus' time...
You know, Lord, it's amazing what one can find out about plants, all sorts of plants named from A to Z, found in books, on computers or even from friends! How about alpine currants, (yum!), beautiful baby's breath, lovely canna lilies, beautiful yellow/gold daffodils, our neighbor's hardy pink hibiscus, and remembering mom's lovely pink and red impatiens! Thinking back to long ago, how about auntie's jacaranda tree! Wow! Rhubarb is special to many folks, too, especially the pi...
