Posts From The Road: Greycliff Mill In Greycliff, Montana

by

Orchard and Grounds: An orchard grows next to the main building a Greycliff Mill in Greycliff, Mont. As the orchard matures fruit harvested will be used in products made at the facility. The grounds are well maintained giving visitors a pleasant area to walk while taking a break from their travels. The main building on site, seen on the left, is where visitors can order a snack of baked goods and coffee bar or enjoy a lunch made with freshly grown or made ingredients including the breads. The timbers used in the building were moved from a barn dating to 1760 in upstate New York and reconstructed in Montana. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Obligation

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

One of my pet peeves—as it is for many, I would surmise—is people driving slowly (or at least relatively slowly) in the left lane, especially on the crowded interstate. We often see people mouthing words such as: “Please, sir/madam; would you be ever so kind as to move over to a lane to the right?” … or perhaps some more colorful variation thereof … waving an almost fingerless greeting as they are finally able to pass. After all, simple community vehicle operation courtesy obliges us to take other drivers into account.

Another thing that priests and ministers in particular have Read More

When the weather turns cold, and the water in the slop bucket starts freezing over, I turn my creative attention to iconography, which I can produce in the warmth and comfort of the house.

We’re still a few months away from that this year, but one of my half-finished icons is staring at me from the shelf in the dining room where I keep them. I find myself yearning for the cold weather and the excuse to begin again and finally finish it.

Iconography, the depiction of Jesus Christ, the Read More

Home Country: Skiping Along On The High Spots

Home Country
By Slim Randles

Life is kinda like a corrugated, washboard ranch road, I believe. You give anything enough time and experience and you’ll find that warts and scars and grooves will get worn in it. The down times and the up times can lead to a corrugation in our dirt roads and our lives.

Any good cowboy knows how to handle a washboard road, though. Taken slowly, a pickup truck hits each little dip and rattles its carburetor until it puts a kink in the distributor clamp. It takes forever to get someplace, of course, but it does give a guy time to compose a symphony or a letter to Congress.
