Be the first to comment!By the Way: Happy Christmastide, friends
By Medicine Hat News on December 29th, 2018
For many years after my siblings and I were grown, our family Christmas gatherings were leisurely affairs.

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
Market corrections, even modest ones, will bring out the doomsday agents. But as headlines roil the markets, it’s important to note that the stumbles we’ve experienced recently are not the result of a weak economic outlook, and are at least partly attributable to the tightening monetary policies of central banks around the world.

By Medicine Hat News on December 22nd, 2018
I had a striking visual of light in darkness early one morning this week. A bright light, probably the planet Venus, shone with extraordinary clarity, and pierced an otherwise black sky. Given my Christian faith, and the time of year — less than a week until Christmas — my thoughts turned to the legendary Star ... Read More »
