The transition into adulthood is complex, and it would be pretty safe to say that many people are not fully prepared for it. In fact, I’m still not sure if I ultimately figured out “adulting” and probably never will. When I decided to get my “first place,” I was excited but learned quickly that it came with a whole new set of responsibilities. I had lived in the dorms during college, but that was a much more structured environment, and everything was basically paid for outside of those teenage extracurricular activities. Once it was time to g...
A thorn in the flesh is sometimes described as a persistent problem we can't seem to resolve. It can be anything - a relationship, persecution, an experience, a trauma, or a job we are stuck in. Where did the phrase, a thorn in the flesh" originate that is often used in our modern-day lives? It originated in the New Testament writings of Paul. His weaknesses, insults, hardships, and all the earthly discomforts he experienced made him look to God for strength. When I think about a "thorn," I think about prickly and razor-sharp points. We have a...
Interest groups filed a pair of lawsuits last week in an effort to allow lawmakers to override Gov.

"If it seems to you like the snow disappeared quickly this spring, you are not wrong," said Eric Larson, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Water Supply Specialist. Warmer than normal temperatures in May resulted in rapid snowmelt. SNOTEL stations across Montana melted out about 10-20 days earlier than normal. During the first several days of May and again in mid-month, high mountain elevations in Montana reached 70 degrees. Outside of those dates, daily average temperatures... Full story
