You know, Lord, sometimes when several of us gals gather together, depending on the season or the reason for our gathering, we usually chuckle when we share, when we "remember when." Some younger gals don't recall, when or if Grandma or Mom hung clothes upon the line, but they thought this was a good poem to share. So here we go, a poem about "way back when." The author is unknown, but a few of us did remember when: A clothesline was a news forecast to neighbors passing by....
Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional "God Wants You To Win!" by world-champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. In Jeff's story about overcoming humiliation he told...
It is over a week away, but I'm already thinking about the Sunday after next, Nov. 1. Not because it's my husband's birthday (he's not much into big celebrations for his birthday). And not because it's the last Sunday before what will surely be a tense election week in what seems like a never-ending political campaign season. But because this is a year where the specter of death feels ever-present, and Nov. 1 is All Saints' Day. This feast day of All Saints began many, many...
Out our way, long hours in the saddle make for a hard day - especially for an amateur cowhand like me who spent most days at the study in an office chair. Charlie was far more used to it than I was, and I tried to keep up, but, I confess, I was bone-tired and sore as the sun began to go down. It seemed like the cattle would never get to the next pasture, that there were always two pairs or more who decided to bolt away from the herd and whom I had to chase. And Doc's...
What is it with kids these days? These teenagers have been taking their game up a notch and it doesn’t matter if I compare teen-me or adult-me to them, I’m left nursing my pride. Livescience.com reported this week that 14-year-old Anika Chebrolu from Frisco, Texas, may have just helped to save our lives. No biggy. Whatever. I can flip my tongue over – both directions – so I’m not without skills. Chebrolu identified a molecule that can bind to and potentially disable the SARS-...
Dear Havreites and Montanans, By the time many of you read this, I will be on the road to the next chapter in my journey of life. Thursday was my last day at the Havre Daily News. I just want to thank the community for taking a chance on a girl right out of college to come to a new place, start a new life and a new job. I didn't expect to learn so much about myself, fall in love, go to work in 40-below temperatures, participate in pig wrestling and so much more. I might say,...
