Dear Editor, I recently spotted an opening for a sports person for the newspaper. I didn’t read the description closely but am confident I could quickly polish and perfect my qualifications for the position. When I was 9 or 10 years old, before we moved to Montana, my dad took me to a Cardinal’s game at the stadium in Louisville, Kentucky, a skip, a jump and a slide across the Ohio River from where we lived. The game was at night and the field was well-lighted. I did won...

Psalm 46: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help at the time of trial. Out our way, we have a few creeks to cross here and there in most pasture lands, but in the old days of the cattle drives when there were no fences many a trail drive included "riding the river." River crossings were always dangerous and tricky, and many a cowhand drowned when his horse stepped into a pit hole or the current proved too strong. But many a cowhand lived because someone...
In the early 1980s a song was released called "People Need the Lord." It was written and composed by Greg Nelson and Phil McHugh, and made popular by the singer Steve Green. The words of the chorus are as follows: "People need the Lord. People need the Lord. "At the end of broken dreams He's the open door. "People need the Lord. People need the Lord. "When will we realize, people need the Lord?" It is one thing to make the statement that "people need the Lord." It is another...
You know Lord, it seems like it's best to do a good deed, right? Three gals were busy gabbing as they cleaned up a kitchen and dining room.

"We remember last year when Mrs. K. was our Sunday School teacher. If some of us were fussing, she'd say 'Shh. Do you not "know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made?" Maybe made to do a good deed?...

In my time as both a fan of the Montana Grizzlies, and covering Cat-Griz football, watching either program on TV has never been, well easy. You know how people have always kind of joked about how Montana is behind the times, and we still ride horse and buggy to work? Well, it’s always been a little funny, and I think most of us haven’t made the ribbing over the years. However, when it comes to broadcasting local sports in Montana, I hate to say it but, we’ve been way, way b...
