In times of emergency, misperceptions can prove deadly. That’s certainly the case today, amid widespread belief that COVID-19 mainly threatens older Americans. In reality, those of any age suffering from an underlying health condition are at significant risk of complications from COVID-19. And when these patients fail to take proper precautions, they put their own lives — and the health of millions of people — in jeopardy. By and large, younger Americans have been the slowest to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many in th... Full story
Teacher Appreciation Week. It’s always one I try to remember. After all, I have a lot of teachers in the family, and, being a coach for the last 18 years, I not only know about every teacher in our district, but I pretty much feel like one too. And in my humble opinion, teachers don’t ever get enough credit for what they do. Simply put, they work their butts off every day for nine months, a year or more to ensure that our young people not only get the best education they possibly can, but to also help ensure that our fut...
At some point in my adult life I took a moment to contemplate my small circle of friends and realized that somehow, instinctively, I had assembled an awesome apocalypse team. It’s held true since then that the people I make a personal connection with are do-ers with a wide array of life-saving and survival skills, and together we would dominate any apocalypse, even one of a zombie nature. All that said, at another point not too long ago I came to the realization that I was t...

It has been roughly three months since the first moments that the sports world fell victim to the COVID-19 concern. Even if Montana was one of the last states to cancel multiple seasons and events, there has still been much missed since then. Spring sports have been canceled, summer sports are iffy and the future of sports is still relatively uncertain. These past three months have been tough for high school sports especially, where the spring season would have been the first...

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. In life you get what you settle for. I have been encouraging the flock at the Ark to expect God’s best. God is no respecter of persons. God doesn’t get fooled when we wear masks and try to hide our true selves from Him. He knows all about us and He still loves us and has good plans for us. He has a future for us. He wants us to prosper and be in health. Wow. God loves me and wants H...
You know, dear Lord, on Mother’s Day, we all have thoughts of moms. As we grew up, we’d ask advice, she’d help us through our qualms. On this fine day, we’re thinking back when we were kids back home; for us young girls, how fun it was when our long hair she’d comb. The ranch was home when we were small; its comfort soothed our soul. Our mama sang the Sun awake, then shook the grates, added coal. Our bedroom was two rooms away; Mom’s song caused us to stir. We’d hear milk pails Daddy set down, heard separator’s w...
