Many, many moons ago on an early spring day, I ventured forth on one of my many trips to Alaska to cut timber. Up into Canada through Banff I drove singing and rejoicing in the Lord for my new life in Christ. Only those who have experiences this passing from death into life know how I felt. Looking onto those impressive Canadian Rockies reminded me of the last time I drove this way late at night. The stars all shined friendly and then the magnificent aurora – “the dance of the spirits” as the Cree call it. It was a sight to behold it was....

While Senator Jon Tester is not the first Senator who lied for money and power, he has recently moved to the top of the political food chain, bringing shame to our magnificent state. The big money lie he continues to promote is Senate Bill 3013, the CSKT Water Compact.
