Contrary to my grade school learnin’, Europeans of the Middle Ages did not think that Earth was flat only to be proven wrong by one Christopher Columbus, no, the Flat Earthers didn’t really get going until the 1900s. In 400-something BC, just prior to my birth, some Greek scientists, tired of looking at statues of perfect people, sat down and figured out the whole Earth-is-round thing. The problem was mapping that world accurately. Sure, a map works great if you’re looki...
Fans of Havre High have to wait one more week for Blue Pony football. But, that doesn't mean the Hi-Line will be quiet this weekend. That's because there's some big Class C games, in what is the second week of the season. Remember, most Class C teams, and most teams in Montana for that matter, are playing conference-only schedules this fall because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The action this weekend starts in the Northern C with Chinook taking on Shelby tonight at Hoon Field....

The flowers bloom, then fade and die, about like humans do. We’re born, we bloom, and hopefully, we choose to follow YOU. Each living thing has a season, like worm to butterfly. We’re not green leaves, turn orange and drop; we do our best — we try. Parents, siblings, child, or our spouse, we’re all to travel on … From dawn to dusk, they lived each day, till one day “they” moved on. Inside our hearts, whatever day, our “aching” never ends. Your leaving us left grief and tears, a wound that does not mend. My joyfulness went w...
You know, Lord, while looking through the book “Your life is in God’s hand,” by Thomas Lindberg, it’s interesting how he reminds us not to fear, fret, fright, fume or forget. “Don’t fear,” he writes, then gives an example of slipping a piece of paper inside a book, then shutting the book, demonstrates how we’re hidden with Christ (Colossians 3:3). None can touch us without going through Your caring hand, Lord. Long ago, there was a song; “Why Worry When You Can Pray,” a depiction of “Don’t fret.” It reminded us that You, oh...
We are launching into the three-day weekend that unofficially marks the end of summer. I know, I know … it doesn’t officially end until Sept. 22. Yet I will cite the “proof” I learned in grade school in Mr. Olsen’s music class. The Robert Goulet ditty “Summer Sounds” we learned to sing and xylophone along with emphatically proclaims “June, July and August play a symphony/Under starry skies above, Happy summer sounds/The summer sounds I love.” There is no mention of September. As a kid, I can’t ever remember a Septembe...
Out our way, good water is precious. Up on the Tiger Ridge, we have reservoirs to hold the snowmelt and occasional rainfall, but by the end of summer, the upper pasture is overgrazed and the reservoirs are drying out. Thus, Charlie and I go up in early fall to move the herd down to the winter pasture, where the feed is lush and the water pure and deep. But sometimes the cattle refuse to go. I have shared before the time Charlie and I tried to move the herd down to the good pasture but they rebelled — running in every d...
