After a week off the Montana State University-Northern Lights will get back on the field, and the moment couldn't come soon enough.

The first reading, from Ezekiel, calls us to turn away from evil so we might live in a loving relationship with God. Some of us may say that what God is asking of us is not fair because the evil we do might not seem evil to us. It is safe...
