Yes, folks, it’s finally that time of year we’ve all been waiting for — the annual running of the snowmelt. The celebration has, as we all know, experienced several delays this year due to lingering winter weather conditions needed for the snow to actually melt. For the uninitiated to this sport, or if it’s just been so long since you participated in your last one you’ve forgotten what melting snow is, the traditional running of the snowmelt could best be described as one pa...
With slightly over 20 days left in Montana’s 68th Legislative Session at the time this was written, a record 1,640 total bills, resolutions and other measures have been introduced. Working through this amount of potential law can be a challenge, with long hours on the floor and in committees day after day. However, this volume of legislation shows a robust democracy and a supermajority ready to take on some of the big challenges facing Montana. I am excited that House Bill 816 sponsored by myself and Sen. Steve F...
In Montana, we pride ourselves on working together, fair dealing, finding common ground, and protecting our Montana values. Our fellow Montanans might not expect a former Republican governor, the current chair of the Libertarian Party, and the 2022 Independent candidate for the Eastern Congressional District of Montana to agree on a variety of issues. But, like our friends and neighbors, we too have a deep and abiding love for our state along with some fear that we’re losing the Montana we raised our families in, from H...
John stopped by and plunked a book the size of a dictionary onto my table. When we get together we invariably weave words into a maze of history, philosophy, politics: world situations as we see them. “Ah, just what I need,” I said as I scanned the title. “A large dose of depression.” He and I speak a similar style of tangents, so John rejoined with, “I read an article in the WP yesterday that implied we are lacking one main element in our outlook.” “Intelligen...
Time passes by, sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's pretty fast. Being alone is not much fun, we know this 'time' won't last. You've only gone ahead of us -you're not left us behind; Although we can't be with you now, you're in our heart and mind. Your leaving left a sadness here, tears continue to fall. You took my happiness with you -happiest time of all. Your memory is a loving thing, it lasts the longest day. It can't be spent or even lent, nor ever taken away. Till...
Matthew 28:1-6 "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an Angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid that they shook and became like dead men. "And the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know...
We are finally in the nascent days of warmer weather here on the Hi-Line. There's still some snow on the ground, and, as of yesterday, we were still getting some flurries. But the forecasts, and the slightly-lighter jackets and layers we are sporting indicate that new patterns are on the horizon. I, for one, welcome it with open arms and one eye on my summer shorts drawer in my dresser. Such change is welcome after a long winter. However, some change, especially after a long...
You know, Lord, an Easter basket is easy and fun to make. A small paper basket (3” X 1 ½ inches) with a little bunny pasted on the front, and across him is written “Some bunny’s been prayin’ for you.” A while back, a friend who taught a Sunday School class wanted a poem. She listed items she wanted included in the Easter basket for hay (green Easter Grass) some gold coins (Peeps), and an empty egg shell (representing the empty tomb). She wanted to be sure, that at least the children in her class, knew the meaning of all the...
