I’m not much into Them and They or Us and We, but the struggle between Them and Us and They and We has been growing in the last decade. I heard it in town last week, a conversation about Them. The conversation, which did not include me, by its volume did not exclude me either. It filled the room with talk of They and Them as opposed to Us and We, and about how a grown man, one of Us, might become one of Them by virtue of proximity to too many of Them. The problem with Them i...

The first game of the 2019 season at Blue Pony Stadium didn't quite go the way the Montana State University-Northern Lights were hoping.

Saturday, the Lights (0-2, 1-2) pay a visit to Carroll College (1-1, 1-1) with kickoff coming at 1 p.m. inside...

The cattle didn't have a clue - but it was the right trail because it was the way to fresh pasture, good water, and some protection from the coming winter storms that would soon arrive. I have started to finally realize that God is the ultimate Herder for His...

One person responds, "I see a red dot." The speaker said, "Fine, but what else do you see?" Others chimed in, "A red dot." The speaker...

I flew into Great Falls, stayed at the Budget Inn there, rented a small car, and drove to Chester, Montana — where I spent the weekend candidating to be the future pastor of Chester Assembly of God Church. The 32 people there that Su...
