Every morning these past few days, when Lola and I take our early morning walk, the clouds are rolling down the mountains. We move through the mist, feet on the ground, heads in the clouds. Another hour and the sun burns the air crisp and brilliant with shadows of orange. As happens, my day turned topsy turvy. I was all self-hyped to go to Dr. Imelda, my dentista, to finally have my last crown set onto my tooth. This crown has been a process and practice in delay and...
Recently, American environmentalists envied the people of Ecuador. In Ecuador, a country where the murder rate is soaring, the economy stagnant and the national government often on the brink, a majority had just voted through a referendum to stop wrecking the Amazon basin for oil profits. For just a moment, it was hard not to fantasize, what if Americans could have a direct say on the big issues — oil drilling in the Alaska wilds, for example? Of course, that’s not the way...

Out our way, there are two critters even ole Doc backs down from: a bull on the fight and an angry mama cow protecting her calf. I have seen what a bull can do — Charlie and I found one in an arroyo with a broken leg after another bull went after him in rut season. He was so torn up we had to shoot him and later haul out the carcass with a big truck. Although much smaller, I have also seen a cow on the fight, and, between the two, I think the bull is less terrifying. I know I have shared this story before, but even e...
[1 Thessalonians 2:16] The affection with which Paul writes to the Thessalonians is evident in his words. He compares himself and his fellow workers to a mother caring for small children and to a father interacting with his own children, showing how much Paul and his colleagues were willing to give to nurture the Thessalonian's faith and serve them. Paul reminds the Thessalonians that he and his fellow workers supported themselves so that the Thessalonians would not be...
God’s purposes for His people do not change at the age of retirement. As followers of Christ, we are called to keep growing spiritually, to keep being conformed to the image of Christ, to keep building the church, to keep sharing the Gospel, to keep on being ambassadors for Christ, to keep using our giftedness, and to keep on making disciples in every one of our retirement years. To encourage this biblical mindset in retirement is the purpose of this study. It is particularly designed with retired and aging people in mind. W...
You know, Lord, sometimes unusual things happen when groups of gals get together. While enjoying tea on the patio, Lesha spoke up: "You know - a friend called, said Missy had lost her baby, not even one hour old. What a shock! I said: 'Isn't it great! Abigail returns to her heavenly home to her relatives until her mom and dad join her!' I don't know how that went over - but that's what popped out of my mouth." Then Sal spoke up: "Reminds me of when I cleaned at a Care Center....

Week two for the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats was certainly interesting. So what did we learn about both teams? Simple. The quarterback is so huge for both, just as it is with any college football team. In the case of the Bobcats, their loss to No. 1 South Dakota State Saturday night was at least in part because of the loss of Tommy Mellott to an injury. Mellott is a front-runner for FCS National Player of the Year, and the Cats no doubt go as he does. And it...
