Well as promised, I will now share with you why I have learned to speak sheep. About a month ago, I looked out the window because I heard a ruckus. And what to my wondering eyes did I see? But two Texas long horn cattle tussling with our two bulls! How did they get here? … Continue reading I speak sheep
This is the post I was originally planning on posting today, when the Henpecked post began flowing through me first. (Gotta take those teaching moments when they arise.) So please enjoy this one too! I remember exactly where I was on July 20, 1969. We were all gathered in the living room of my Aunt … Continue reading It’s not rocket science
That's right boys and girls, it's time for another tale from the ranch. This episode features chickens. We have approximately 250 chickens on our ranch, of those, four are roosters and the rest are hens. Sometimes the hens get a little aggressive and peck at other chickens, pulling off their feathers. Hence the term henpecked. … Continue reading Henpecked
It's a good thing I'm multi-lingual. I speak English (my native tongue) Spanish, Dog, Horse, Cow, Chicken, and Llama. I am also leaning to speak sheep, but the subjunctive tense is really difficult to grasp! But speaking sheep is for a future post. One morning the dogs were clearly letting me know that there was … Continue reading Foundation

In the fall, some of God's creations produce little seeds that become burs and stick to my socks and pants. It is very irritating to take time to pull off all the burs my pants … Continue reading White go go boots
Well for most people, with the return of kiddos back to school, vacation time is over. Wrong! I'm here to set the record straight. The worship leader at my church was telling me of a gentleman who is also a worship leader. She lent me the cassette tape so I could listen to his sermon … Continue reading Praise Vacation Time!
Last time I checked, you cannot buy more hours in a day from Amazon. (I know, I've checked.) Each and every one of us is given the same 24 hours. It's up to us how we choose to spend them. As for me, I have been diligently striving not to waste them on negative things. … Continue reading Not giving it the time of day
Time for another tale from the ranch. Please be so kind as to set down your coffee first. I had the privilege of fulfilling the Word of God this morning! Let me tell you all about it! Saturday morning, I went out to do my chores and give water to the chickens. We have a … Continue reading Snake in the grass
A recent blog post of a friend on mine on WP, had some amazing pictures of the full moon and a beautiful prayer. https://bluecollartheologian.blog/2022/08/12/i-see-the-moon/ I too was marveling at the full moon in the night sky, and had recently read this from Robert Fulghum's books, I was on fire when I lay down on it, … Continue reading To the Moon
