Because of generous monetary donations and many hours of volunteer time, the Tornados will soon have an actual track instead of prairie grass on which the athletes can run, compete, and perform. On Monday, March 30, Miller Trucking...
Some moisture in late March and early this month has made minor improvements to drought conditions in this part of north-central Montana, but drought conditions persist here and throughout the state, which could impact crops and increase the chance of fires. The national Drought Monitor map released last Thursday, the latest available, showed only an area in the southwest centered over Missoula, Ravalli and Granite counties and the very eastern edge of the state as being in no drought...

Every time I've taken the bus on the toll road to the coast, when we pass by the outskirts of the mountain town of Ixtlan del Rio, I've noticed the sign that points toward "Ruina". That's all it says," Ruina", a blur seen from the bus window. That little sign was enough to make me want to see the ruins. I've been to Guachimontones in Teuchitlan and to the Palacio de Ocomo in Oconahua several times. These sites are a short drive from home, either direction. Both are fascinating places that fill...

The tribe of Judah accepted this arrangement - but the other tribes of Israel, because of King Solomon’s heavy taxation and widespread conscripted labor for his grand projects,...
You know, Lord, two of us buzzed downtown to shop. The parking lot was full as well as the store. As we walked in, an older man was ready to put his cart in the cart-well. Along came a lady who to us, seemed to need a cane. The man paused, looked at the lady, suggested she take his cart and said, ‘I’ve used this a bit so the handle is nice and warm.” She smiled, thanked him, took the cart and went in the store. [A blessing!] One walkway near the candy aisle was full but down at the end near the exit door, we heard some kids and saw a man and l...
