"We started seeing a pretty rapid...

The Hill County Commission is working toward putting on the 2022 election ballot a 3 percent tax on recreational marijuana sales in the county.

Experts say that completing tasks inspires feelings like pride, satisfaction and confidence. I am the exception that disproves the rule. I just finished tiling the bathroom floor in the house-to-be and I couldn’t be more, eh, whatever about the whole thing. Seriously. It took days of planning, hours of labor and untold gallons of sweat equity. … And I gotta be totally and brutally honest here: all this and I didn’t even have to tile the entire floor, just a 3-by-4 foot alcov...

"We just want to go out and compete hard," LaSalle said. "We get to see some...

While the Ponies are lucky to host back-to-back meets, they have faced their share of issues. Along with being short handed, the Ponies have had trouble with disqualifications the past few meets, so...

Out our way, besides the big round ups for branding and shipping, Charlie and I gathered the herds twice yearly to change pastures. Up on the Tiger Ridge, the reservoir was low and the grass cropped short, so come the end of fall we moved the herd to winter pasture down below. First we would gather the herd together, and then Charlie would head up front and ride "point" while I went to the back, found the "Good Old Boys Club" hangout, gathered the bulls and rode "drag." Now...
The Greater Havre Area Ministerial Association - GHAMA - is one of my favorite local expressions of Christian unity. It's a solid example of the body of Christ working together the way that Christ intended. We build each other up, help each other out, and expand the work of God's Kingdom. But GHAMA's monthly meetings can only go so far at expressing the full spectrum of Christian unity, because our meetings only encompass the local leaders of the churches. Full Christian...
You know, Lord, we're into a New Year, a clean month, a bright new day. Thank You, Lord. William A. Quayle, in his book "God's Calendar," has some fascinating musing about months. Some for January are: "The Calendar is God's invention. The matter-of-fact Romans way took hold of the almanac and called the months by the names which thereafter God's months were to wear. God should have named the months - He is so much the Poet; or at least the Greeks, because Poetry and they...
