Out our way, the dreaded season of the "Alberta clippers" is upon us. Now that I am in the high desert, I chuckle when folks complain about it being a mere 9 degrees above zero and maybe ¼ inch snow on the ground. Yet, I miss home - and even the winters that we survived despite the Arctic howlers that came sweeping out of Santa's workshop.

How many times do you hear the words, "I love you"? For some, maybe those with exuberant and affectionate kiddos in their life, they hear it all the time. For others, perhaps they hear those words rarely, if ever.

To quote a little more from Isaiah 43:4: "You are precious in my sight...

Please help us to choose wisely, Lord, let us forget about the past and begin to look forward to what You have in store for us. Your Word is...
Alone, but never quite alone, we face an empty chair - But sometimes in the silence dear, it seems like you're still there My dearest one for many year - no longer here with me. Yet in some mysterious ways, he keeps me company Memories of him do come my way, though absent, he's still here Seems every day in some small way, you're loved, and missed my dear. When we get to heaven, dear one, where all are free from pain, We'll hug real tight, like long ago - we'll never part...

Editor's note: A version of this story ran in the January Farm and Ranch special section. Recent weeks have finally brought some wintry weather to the northern part of Montana, including some snow and moisture, but while cold, snowy La Niña winter weather could help, forecasters say drought is likely to persist. In the U.S. Drought Monitor report released today, most of Montana still is listed as being in drought, with the only patch not listed as in drought - the...
As Havre locals experience the heart of winter, they will need to find a way to take advantage of the snowy weather to have some fun.

The mountain currently does not have enough snow yet but Dave Martens Jr., who helps run the slope, believes that one more snowfall could get the hill...
