from Montana Farm Bureau Federation Rail Safety Week, September 15-21, 2025, reminds us that safety is a shared responsibility. For Montana’s farmers, ranchers, and rural residents, railroads are more than steel tracks running through fields and towns. They are lifelines, carrying wheat, cattle feed, fertilizer, and consumer goods to and from our communities. Keeping these rail lines safe and efficient is critical to agriculture and to our rural economy. At the Montana Farm Bureau Federation, we see firsthand how rail c...
Galatians 3:28 Aho and Blessings! Those of you who know me know I am about as non-Native American as they come. I am, of course, a mult-generation American, but my DNA points to an ancient history of Scot, Irish, Welsh and English. Even so, I was "adopted" by a Native family and have four gorgeous ( I say again - holy mackerel! GORGEOUS) "granddaughters" who call me Poppa John. Their real grandfather is on the Tribal Council, and both parents are on the registry as members of...
Paul writes, "Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many." I Corinthians 12:14 The church office is right across the street from the Havre Fire Department/Ambulance.

I am reminded of how fortunate we are to have men and women in the event of a fire or emergency. That is one of the benefits of being part of a larger community, a body that...
