The Hettinger, ND Ram Test recently released results of the January 112-day weigh-in, and two Montana rams topped the gain data. Veteran Columbia producers, Luanne Wallenwein of Timber Coulee Columbias in Sunburst, Montana and Loni Blackman of Wolf Creek, Montana, deserve a shout out.

There are words which are used as if they mean the same thing but are, in reality, vastly different. Two words which are often used interchangeably are “alone” and “lonely”. They occupy similar emotional spheres but, like railroad tracks that run along side each other but never ever meet, they are forever separate. I saw a short clip recently about Michael Collins. He was the pilot of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the surface of the moon, Collins continue...
This Musing will be the final one dealing with the theme of your phone book of life. I hope these have been useful for you. You must read the scripture to benefit from the wisdom they contain.

Recently, I watched the movie: Same Kind of Different as Me. A film about friendship…true friendship. The movie documents the true story of an unlikely friendship formed between Ron, a wealthy art dealer and Denver, a volatile homeless man. It tells how God has worked through that friendship, to not only change the hearts of the two men and the community in which they lived, but to influence countless lives for the cause of Christ through their inspiring story. At one point in the movie, the fate of the relationship hangs in the balance as D...

Art Napping: the stealing of paintings, sculptures, or other forms of visual art from galleries, museums or other public and private locations.

Stolen art is often resold or used by criminals as collateral to secure loans. In 147...
