Under normal circumstances, the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team would have been well into their season by Thanksgiving weekend. But, these are far from normal times. So, now, Thanksgiving weekend marks the start of a new journey for the Skylights, and longtime head coach Chris Mouat, who will begin a shortened schedule due to COVID-19 with a pair of non-conference games at Carroll College this weekend. And while the season had to be pushed back due to...
Last week, Montana hunters and anglers got our first sense of the direction that Gov.-elect Greg Gianforte wants to take public land, access to critical hunting and sport fishing habitat, state parks and Montana’s $7.1 billion recreation economy. Gianforte offered an unbalanced slate of names of those who will be advising him on new leadership for the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and the Fish and Wildlife Commission.

That famous movie clip from “Man from Snowy River” showing the epic scene, with the hero launching his horse off the top of a mountain and galloping headlong down the near-vertical mountainside, made its rounds on the internet again this week. I remember when the movie was released and horse people couldn’t get enough of that scene, some out of excitement, some horror, and everyone wanted to own or at least ride in an Aussie stock saddle. That’s all pretty much still true to...

Out our way there is a lot of open country and to the greenhorn cowhand like me, it all looks pretty much the same. More than once I have gotten turned around and had no idea which way was which. Back in the day when I first started riding in open country, Elsie - the ranch lady who gave lessons to us tenderfeet in Wyoming - told me that you need to look back the way you came from time to time so as to see the "other side of the hills" and so recognize them when it came time t...
It's Christmas, the most wonderful time of year - right? Well, not quite, at least not liturgically. Advent is a time of preparation. In the secular world during a typical year, that preparation involves filling our calendars with going to all the obligatory Christmas parties and concerts, dragging out the baking pans and decorations, and hunting through the closets for a Christmas-themed sweater to wear. But in this year of social distancing, I wonder if it is an invitation t...
Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You To Win!” by world champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. As we conclude this series I want to summarize some of the remaining stories from Jeff and encourage each of you to continue to press on in your relationship with the Lord. Jeff once asked a golfer what the best golf tip he had ever received and the golfer responded, “Slow everything way down.” Then Jeff asked the man what the best life tip he had ever received and the golfer again re...
You know, Lord, sometimes we just need to say “Thank You, Lord” for being so good to us, for always being so loving and kind. It’s a necessity to speak out and tell others that we are redeemed, that we are saved from our enemies. In Your Word, we read how the exiles were brought back from the far corners of the earth. They cried out for help and You, Lord, led them straight to safety and to a place to live. So, do we, in this day and age when all sorts of troubles seem to bombard us every which way, do we sit in darkness, in...
