The date for Havre’s Holiday Tree Lighting, now rebranded as the Holiday Stroll, has been moved from the Saturday after Black Friday to the first Saturday of December, a change Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Director Jessica Fagerbakke says is permanent. Fagerbakke said the change of date was made for two reasons. The first reason is a practical one, as it is harder to find the necessary volunteers for all the events on a holiday weekend, she said. The second reason, she said, is because Chinook has their Parade of Lights g...
While Republicans did not do as well as they hoped on the national stage in the midterms, Montana seems very likely to see a Republican supermajority in the state Legislature, a prospect Democrats were dreading. Montana’s election results have yet to be canvassed and thus remain unofficial, but if current tallies hold, seats picked up in the Senate will increase GOP control there and their commanding control of the House seems to have only gotten stronger as well. Democratic candidates around the state, including in Hill C...

Out our way, the old time "cowboy" of legend is mostly gone. Oh, we still wear the boots, spurs, and chaps; still ride horses and carry a lariat on our saddle, but these days we are more likely to be the owners, family, or ranch hands. The prairie is fenced in and we haul cattle to market in big rigs rather than the old fashioned trail drives. Yet Big Mike had Charlie and me as his "cowhands." Except for the round up and moving back and forth between the summer and winter past...
Did you know that there are only two talking animals in the Bible? You can probably guess the first ... that's right, the serpent that speaks in the Garden of Eden. The second talking animal is the trusty donkey of a non-Israelite prophet named Balaam, found in Numbers 22, and if you guessed that, then extra points to you for knowing your Bible! If you didn't, that's OK, too. The story of Balaam and his donkey doesn't appear in the lectionary, and I don't think it's a regular...
You know, Lord, some years ago, author Bill Crowder, shared some interesting things about helping ourselves, stating that when we put You first, Lord, we know that You look beyond the surface things of our lives to what really matters.

At those restaurants, the ad said you would 'Help Yourself to Happiness,' Wouldn't it be nice if a helping of potatoes or meat or pasta or desert...
