Nowadays, it is difficult to know when to stick your neck out and fight for what you believe in. We ask you, are your kids worth fighting for? As the days pass, with what doesn’t seem to be much of a plan for adding more days of in-person learning, the education of our children is becoming the topic that we are willing to fight for, regardless of the backlash. We need a re-opening plan based on a realistic threat assessment. We need Mr. Mueller, his re-opening team, and the school board working with the Hill County Health D...
“I looooove fall. It’s my faaaavorite time of year ... all the colors, the cool temps, the blah blah blah.” If words were one-hundreds — $100 bills that is — I could retire off the number of times I’ve heard some version of that before. I think I’d be close to being able to buy a new pickup truck, just from the number of times I’ve heard it at home from somebody who’s not me. Don’t get me wrong, if I had my way our seasons would be five months of spring, five months of fall...

You know, Lord, the following is an old story, but having just lost a couple of friends, this story seemed somewhat right on, so to speak. The author of this "long ago" story is unknown, but it seemed so fitting for this little description to be shared, so here goes: "A little boy was riding alone on a train on a very hot day when all of the travelers were extremely uncomfortable; and the scenery was not too interesting at all as they passed through the desert of Arizona. A...
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. Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. There are times in life when we perform better than others. I like to say that I want a bumper crop at a record price every year but that just doesn’t always happen. How do we keep focused when we encounter challenges? How do we overcome health obstacles, finan...
Out our way, one soon learns all cows are not alike. Oh, I don’t just mean that in the sense that there are different breeds, but in the sense some are dominant leaders while others are docile followers. But just because a cow is a leader doesn’t mean she knows where she is going. For although one cow may be deemed superior by the rest of the herd, a cow is still just a cow. That is why Big Mike sent Charlie and me to guide the herd to new pastures when the old one was grazed over. We did indeed find some cows who led the...
Thirty years ago, a group of students decided to pray for their school. They gathered one morning at the flag pole in front of the schoolhouse. What began as a few students has blossomed into an annual tradition known as See You At The Pole. Teenagers across America come together, typically on the fourth Wednesday of September, to pray for their friends, families, and others who impact their lives. In most years, Havre students participate at their particular schools. 2020 is not like most years. With students scheduled on op...
