She’d be, like, ‘I am Pam Sch...

By Francine Brady Havre-Hill County Library I never imagined that I would enjoy a book written about the history of the Hawthorn tree. I have looked at books that identify trees, but those were not as fascinating as “Hawthorn: the tree that has nourished, healed and inspired through the ages” by Bill Vaughn. Living in Montana, Vaughn has Hawthorns growing on his property. Trying to trim back his first Hawthorn became quite a daunting task even while using a chainsaw. Thus began his search into his family roots and the his...

Mark 6:14-29 Out our way, reputation is important to most folks. Unfortunately, some people think reputation is not earned but given by the fickle opinions of others. Thus they will say one thing to please this person, and then opposite to please that one. Instead of gaining a reputation for wisdom, they end up with the reputation of being a fool and unreliable. One of the things I like about Goliath is that there is no real guile in him. He is an honest soul who is who he is...
