FYI

Laurie Powell Steel and Jennifer Powell Murga were raised in Paraguay where their parents, Bob and Glenda Powell, were missionaries. As adults, they lived on two different continents - North America and South America. Recently, the Murgas moved to Billings where Rico Murga assumed the managing of health care situations on the Indian Reservations of Montana and Wyoming. The Steels have been in Cardwell on leave from the mission field in Paraguay. With only three hours separating the sisters, visits are easy. Jennifer and Rico along with Diego and Daniella spent a week here with the Steels. Years nor miles have diminished the affection between these two.

Following the Three Forks vs Whitehall football game the sports writer for the Montana Standard comments -- ‘ninth ranked Whitehall put up 36 points in the first quarter to laugh past visiting Three Forks;’ He made the Trojans and their fans look very unsportsmanlike! It’s also very poor journalism. Wouldn’t want to have that comment made against the Whitehall team. Perhaps he should hear from some of the Whitehall coaches and fans.

October is Pastor Appreciation month. Do something nice for the man in the pulpit. I Timothy 5:17 & 18 says, “Let the elders who rule well be worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, ‘You shall not muzzle an ox when he treads out the grain, and, the laborer is worthy of his wages.”
