Holly Williams, the daughter of Hank Williams Jr., will bring Nashville to Havre when she takes the stage Sunday night. Williams, 31, is the big entertainment for Sunday. Her website states that “part of the key to Holly Williams’ success as a singer-songwriter is that it’s never been her mission to try and live up to the legacy cast by her famous and prolific father and grandfather … nor has she spent a lot of time trying to live it down.” Williams has paved the way for her own sound in country music and released two accla...

“Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables … so was fulfilled what had been spoken of (in Psalm 78:2) ‘I will open my mouth in parables and utter things hidden since the creation of the world.’” — Matthew 13:34-35 Out our way, we find that sometimes folks from different parts of the country have difficulty in understanding us — and vice versa.

It shouldn’t take tragedies and losses to put things in perspective. But doesn’t it always seem to be the case? And that’s the case sometimes in sports rivalries, too.
