I am quick to criticize other people’s luxuries. “Buying a latte every day?” I say. “What a waste!” But, of course, I have Peter making me coffee, and I can have it exactly the way I like it. (Lots of milk, not too much coffee.) I think sailboats and horses are crazy expensive, but campers and RVs make sense — because that’s what I grew up with. “Economics don’t count when you are talking about campers!” my father has repeatedly told me. My father is a frugal man. He live...

In each life it seems there might be one or two individuals with whom, no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot communicate. We usually marry them. Seriously, if nothing else, we surround ourselves with people of like mind. We act together in ways beneficial to both parties. We are on the same track, click-clacking to the same destination. However, now and then we encounter a person with whom out tongue jumps the track, derails, stops at the wrong station, or otherwise...

Over the past several months, our c...

An article on the front page of the Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024, edition of Havre Weekly Chronicle about a march organized to support CI-128 incorrectly said in the first paragraph the march was in support of Ci-126 and misspelled “presentation” in the second paragraph where it should have read “where a presentation on CI-126.” The article also omitted the text of Ci-128, which it said would be included. Following is the full text of CI-128. THE COMPLETE TEXT OF CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE NO. 128 (CI-128) Article II of the Mon...
It was a season of injuries and near-misses for the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team last winter. The Lights, of Hall of Fame head coach Shawn Huse, went just 3-13 in the Frontier Conference as they lost so many single-digit outcomes. And Northern lost even more when leading scorer Zack Martinez graduated this past spring. However, Northern brings back plenty of talent, and Huse has reloaded the roster as well, as the Lights get ready to begin a new...

Romans 13:12'The night is far spent and the Day is at hand' Out our way, in addition to being a local pastor, I got to live a lifelong fantasy as a cowhand from time to time, riding with my Pard, Charlie, as we moved Big Mike's herd on Tiger Ridge up in the Bear Paw range. Like many kids, I wanted to be a real cowboy when I grew up - and while I never got that wish, I came close when I mounted up ole Doc and rode with Charlie to push cows. Now as anyone who rode with us or...

[Psalm 146] The nation goes to the polls on Tuesday. Here are some helpful ideas that come from a surprising source: an ancient composer of songs. After a long and brutal race for the White House, we need a few laughs. Presidential campaigns have become a slugfest, and most of us are not feeling particularly lighthearted as we prepare to enter the voting booth. But regardless of what happens on Election Day, the earth will keep turning, the seasons will change, babies will be...
You know, Lord, in a few days a 'time-change' is coming up - like when we get up and when we go to bed. Not everyone likes to deal with 'Time Change'! Oh - it probably only affects people; it probably doesn't 'bother birds, beasts, beavers or bears' - 'nor the chickens', one gal added. But remembering WAY back when we were kids at home and had to 'help' do the chores; milking the cows, for a while, we got a bit less milk in the milk bucket but the cows soon 'adapted' to the...
