The only control I have in life is over myself. Regardless of the condition of my body, I am totally in control of my mind. “My thinking makes it so,” Rev. Larry King We are witnessing the tremendous advances our world is making exploring and learning about outer space. It occurs to me that we humans should be working just as hard on exploring our inner space. By this I mean how we each choose to think, speak, and act in our daily lives. The answer I discovered for myself is the spiritual teachings of “A Course in Miracles.” This is a self-study program of spiritual psychology and a mind-training in the relinquishment of a thought system based on fear and t...
Editor, On Dec. 6, the Montana Water Court extended the date to make objection to the CSKT water compact. The extension will be to Feb. 9, 2023.

Editor, With all these mass shootings in this country I think that it is time for the Federal government to put their money where their mouth is and really start cracking down on making it hard for someone to purchase any kind of firearms, whether it be an AR 15 or a handgun. Too many people in this count...
