I successfully built and hung a gate this week. It bears pointing out that I conquered my nemesis, the hanging of a gate, by getting the thing hung level and plumb. It swings freely and quietly both to and fro. It looks good doing it. I should be giddy, overjoyed, brimming with pride and other degrees of over-the-moonness, and yet no. At best I feel a sort of grim satisfaction. I was raised well before the era of participation ribbons, nobody cared about bolstering our...
Volunteerism in Havre has a long history. From our town’s start, there were people willing to give their time, talents, resources and dedication to worthy community causes. From giving to those less fortunate, to creating health care facilities and forming two libraries, the people of Havre and Hill County care about our town and work to achieve wonderful things, some which last generations. The Clack Museum and Wahkpa Chu’gn Buffalo Jump are no different. From our inception, our growth and successes have been based on vol...

Out our way, you sometimes have to forget your own wisdom and trust someone else. Now, ole Doc was born and raised on a cattle ranch up in the Bear Paws so he knew cows. He had also been used to work cattle long before I got to know him. He had what some folks called "cow sense," something I had not yet gained. As it happens, the area south of town was given to the town after the Army closed down Fort Assiniboine in 1911 and Congress created Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation in...
Hymns have superpowers. Hymns combine the power of poetry - often poetry inspired by Scripture - with the power of music, and the result is so potent that it can transport our body and soul as if to the throne room of the Lord. I'd call that a superpower. This past Sunday at First Lutheran, we sang a hymn that was new to me: God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens. The worship team had chosen it because the hymn's mention of the spangled heavens reflected the image in our...
You know, Lord, years ago, Selma Robinson wrote a poem named "Summer Shower," beginning it by saying that a poem used words like colors from a paintbox. Ahead of the poem she wrote: "Your eyes see color, and your ears hear music." Then she wrote the poem: Thundering, shimmering, silver gray, it's raining today. Shining and slanting, spears, such a shower as we've been wanting. Freesia and fuchsia and mignonette and Violet and golden glow, And blue delphinium, row on row. And m...
