Grandpa (from Wyoming and Nebraska) asked "Now, what do they call that tall mountain i...

from Emily Mayer As a lover of history, it's only natural to have a love for antiques. I've seen a lot of antiques over the years, and among my favorites are ones of a piece of machinery, a kitchen utensil, a piece of dinnerware whose use I had never heard about before. These are great learning tools; talismans of the past that tell us about how life was lived by our ancestors. However, sometimes pieces have me stumped, and who better to ask than the Havre and Hill County...

Now Babe, his "girlfriend," was quite a different...

You know, Lord, sometimes our thinking gets mixed up, we think the quality of our life is based on what happens to us, but we're forgetting that the quality of our life is how we respond. We probably know someone - including ourselves - who've become bitter instead of becoming better, when tragedy befalls us. No matter what, we need to remember that You, Lord, have secured our victory. We're to take hold of that truth, internalizing Your gospel gift and live it out amid our...
