I remember when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Hey, don't laugh! I can remember that far back! I knew absolutely everything, and felt like I was bulletproof. Nothing was going to come against me or harm me. Then I grew up when reality set in. I've been thinking a lot about … Continue reading Bulletproof

Fief
Today my post contains one of my favorite words, vassal. I even did a post on it back in October 24, 2018. (https://godstillspeakstoday.com/2018/10/24/im-the-lords-vassal/) So when I heard this word in a movie the other evening, fief, I was led to investigate and use as a post. A fief was an element of medieval contracts based … Continue reading Fief
Lifeline
I was recently visiting a fellow rancher, who had a big metal ring installed to the side of the front door of the house. I asked about it. They said there was also one installed by the door of the barn. We get some really harsh whiteout snowstorms, and at the first sign of a … Continue reading Lifeline
Doldrums
Well, it's that time of year again, where we in the United States celebrate another beloved holiday season, daylight savings time! Where we set our clocks back one hour. Where the days are increasingly darker for longer. Where the folks who suffer from S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) pull out their lights to help them with … Continue reading Doldrums
Basic life support
As someone pushing just north of 60 years old, I have come to realize that I need to make the most of each and every day. The months and years are moving at a faster speed and I should not waste a precious minute. So here's a little humor first. You’re so old that I … Continue reading Basic life support
Grains of sand
Any of you who have read my posts for a bit know I like math and science. I like to see how things work and add up. So after reading a couple of things in the Bible, I got curious. I have a little 3 minute hourglass that I use when doing my stretching exercises. … Continue reading Grains of sand

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
A week of Mondays
I know you've had them. Don't deny it. And you are so incredibly grateful when it is over. Yes, I'm talking about a whole week full of Mondays! This past week was one of them for me. Every step I took forward, set me five steps further behind. But I did not lose my joy … Continue reading A week of Mondays
White go go boots
I love taking walks at the ranch. It is quiet and I get to enjoy the glory of God's creation. 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
To the Moon
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
