Their “sky is falling” screed claims that Montana electricity consumers will find their electricity costs rocketing to unbearable levels if Mon...
I generally shudder when I see the first Christmas decorations in stores. They seem to appear earlier every year. However, this year I am thankful for them. I have long held that we humans migrate as much as the Canada geese which make semi-annual treks across our Big Sky. The difference is that we migrate through time rather than space. I guess we’re hard wired to do so, with seasonal ebbs and flows. The end of one year and the start of another is a powerful reminder that we ought to be thoughtful, consciously and c...

That was followed in August by Debbie Engdahl Bricker, Debbie Grodahl Baker and Debbie Greytak Lee. What an exciting and blessed journey it has been. Some of the Debbies I k...
