Driving just south of Havre the hillsides and fields were almost totally devoid of snow. Only the barrow pits and leeward sides of hills and coulees still held the wintry white stuff. From the upper lake, the snow cover built as did the anticipation of eager skiers and shredders on their journey to the fabled slopes of Bear Paw. Upon reaching their destination, downhill enthusiasts were greeted by abundant quantities of snow. Snow that was boosted by a recent dump of nearly 5...

No wonder I got lost so often - for I had not yet developed "trail eyes" - the ability to see the sign that pointed me in the direction I needed to go. One trick seasoned wranglers have sought to teach me in developing "trail eyes" was simply to look behind every few hundred yards and check...
Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen (1 John 4:20 NRSV). Why do people hate each other? God is love, that is what scripture tells us (1 John 4:8). This world that God created, He created it out of love. God then made man and He also did this out of love. God created this large universe and all of His creation out of love. Yet, there...
