The Associated Press reported Tuesday that a New Hampshire distillery has created a new bourbon, Eau De Musc, which derives its flavor in part from secretions extracted from a beaver’s castor sacs. Do you remember the coffee bean that became insanely popular (as in costing up to $600 per pound) a few years back because it developed what was reported as a super sweet and complex flavor of plum, tea and rose in a fermentation process? Do you remember this fermentation o...
Editor, Grateful. That is the best word to describe my run for the U.S. Senate. Grateful for the thousands of Montanans who donated to my campaign.

I am disappointed in the results but do not regret running. The generous and gracious nature of Montanans was the highlight of my race. This wonderful state and country are worth fighting for.

You know, Lord, with Father’s Day coming up, we’ll just share a bit from Lea Palmer. She wrote: “Home is a little corner of the earth that a man can call his own.

In the sanctity of home, one can sense the everlasting grace of God.” Gleaned from “Father of Daughters” by Lois Mae Cuhell — she wrote: “He sk...
This week we will again look at material from the book “Managing God’s Money” by Randy Alcorn. It is possible that times of financial struggle may be a way for God to build character in us. Sometimes times of prosperity will challenge believers to handle wealth so that it is a blessing and not a curse. When we let materialism have its way in our hearts we can become unhappy and anxious. Matthew 6:31-34 states, “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things...
Out our way, it is easy to become familiar with all the nooks and crannies of the community — but when we have to travel, especially in large cities, it can a bit overwhelming. But now days people have GPS devices that help us navigate — so even a red neck rube like me can get around in a big town. The voice comes up with some authority saying, “Turn right in 100 yards onto Bower Avenue.” Nice to know somebody knows the way … especially when I do not! Jesus said to His followers, “I am the Way” and, indeed, the early Christi...
