Editor, 480,000 American die from tobacco related causes each year. That’s more than 1,300 people every day. That’s the equivalent of 20 fully loaded schools crashing every day, with no survivors. Tobacco use kills more than AIDS, obesity, alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. Vaping is the newest tobacco craze. While the jury is still out, vaping has many of the same dangers as does traditional tobacco. Preliminary data is pointing towards a strong link between tobacco and COVID-19. Tob...
Black bears in the Bear Paws. Grizzly bears on the plains — one of them that mauled a guy near Choteau. Bears, you can’t predict them. I should be using my brain to go over the recommended Be Bear Aware checklist, but really, this bear business is reminding me that some of my very favorite stories in life involve bears. In fact, here’s a good cautionary tale involving a bear: In his capacity as a Montana game warden, my dad would occasionally have to live-trap a nuisa...

Out our way I recall rolling with laughter when a certain politician in Washington, D.C., asked if the cattle guards in Montana had a union. Yes, one of our top national public office holders really was that ignorant. But after I had my laugh, it occurred to me that this man held a great deal of power and influence. If he is as ignorant about other things as he is about cattle guards, will granting him that power ultimately benefit or harm the nation ? In a sense, Charlie and I were “cattle guards,” for we cared for the her...
Jesus Christ is quoted in Mark 3:25 as saying: “25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” In last Sunday’s sermon, we took a look at how the Old Testament Kingdom of Israel ended up being divided into two kingdoms. Here’s the scenario: King Solomon, the third king of Israel (after King Saul and King David), died, designating his son, Rehoboam, as the next king. The tribe of Judah accepted this arrangement — but the other tribes of Israel, because of King Solomon’s heavy taxation and widespread con...
You know, Lord, it has been a while ago, but we did appreciate the thoughts expressed by a chap who was telling a group of us that there are backbiters out there, haters of You, Lord, proud braggarts, those who are disobedient to their parents, and heartless; and not only that, but that they also encourage others to do those same things, too! Don’t they realize that there is a death penalty for these crimes as spoken of in Romans, 1:32, “that those who practice such things are deserving of death”? Oops! You mean we are some...
