It’s easy to love my pasture in spring when the vegetation is just getting a good hold of the season — the place is blanketed in green, and looks like a lush, manicured lawn punctuated with bursts of shrubs and trees — but those blissful days are past, and I have entered the chaos period from whence both pride and aggravation grow. By now, the vegetation has grown enough that I know what I have for “good” forage, acceptable weeds and bad weeds — and what needs to be mowed an...
The Havre Northstars finally got to play some baseball Tuesday night. Yes, the Northstars American Legion doubleheader with Lewistown Tuesday night was not only the season-opening games for Havre, but they were also the first varsity-level sports to be played in Havre since the District 9C basketball tournament back in February. So, in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic, and baseball, Tuesday night's games were a step in the right direction. Now, Havre is ready for more, too....
Like millions of Americans, I’ve had a heavy heart the last 10 days or so. My heart has been heavy from the moment I watched the horrific video of George Floyd’s murder and nothing that has happened since I first saw it has been able to fix what I feel. I feel pain and sadness from George Floyd’s murder, because I abhor racism of any kind. I feel pain and sadness because I have always tried to stand up for racial injustice and inequality, and I feel pain and sadness right...

Out our way, we have a saying: “All hat and no cattle.” It refers to folks who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. I recall in Great Falls during rodeo week how some dude bought boots and spurs and wore them into the Cowboy Bar across from the fairgrounds. Now, no real cowboy is going to walk around town in spurs if he can help it — and it was clear this guy was a wannabe cowboy, but not the real deal. Long story short, while trying to posture and pretend he was a real cowboy, he tangled his spurs together and ended u...
This Sunday I will be preaching a sermon to our congregation called “A Few Good Men … and Some Women,” a sermon based upon the Bible Book of Judges. In that sermon, I will be telling the stories of the judges: Deborah/Barak/Jael, Gideon, and Samson. But for this article, I would like to make a point about some numbers in this Book of Judges, and what these numbers may mean for us today in this chaotic world in which we are living. Judges 2:7 tells us “So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of...
You know, Lord, sometimes words and sayings are downright fascinating. One wonders how some such phrases came about. Listening to conversations at a loving family reunion, a long while ago, these sayings were overheard: Uncle Charlie: “I can not abide newspaper pies,” he said. His mother, on the other hand, thought that pies were not even fit for humans; “They are much too sweet!” she proclaimed. So, when it was absolutely necessary to MAKE pies, she made them as thin as possible. She actually had a pie tin — which is still...
They’re back again, the memories as white clouds sail above, Flowers do bloom plus one red rose, reminds “us” of your love. It’s baking day — cookies are GOOD, plus pan of Rhubarb Crisp! Recalling how you loved baked goods, just know that you are missed. Some bushes could stand a trim job, that ‘ain’t’ my cuppa tea! But — IF you watched how I trimmed them; bet you would dance with glee! One day we drove by old “Graveyard”; some graves still had bouquets. We paused to pray, knew all who’d left - their souls had flown away. J...
