At our ranch, we raise Scottish Highland cattle. The girls as well as the boys all have horns. One of the first things we do with anyone who comes to work for us, is have them grab hold of the electric fence. Ours produces about 7 to 9 volts. It just startles you, but does … Continue reading Grab the bull by the horns
It is hard to hear about the atrocities that are happening to human beings who were made in the image of God, by other human beings, who were also made in the image of God. Some people are feeling hopeless, and don't know what to do or where to turn. What to do: pray. Where … Continue reading Don’t lose hope!
The attorney tells the accused, "I have some good news and some bad news." "What's the bad news?" asks the accused. "The bad news is, your blood is all over the crime scene, and the DNA tests prove you did it." "What's the good news?"

The weather here in the Colorado Rockies is glorious. Not too hot during the days, and cool in the evenings. Perfect for camping! I'll bet you didn't know this, but I am a hard core camper. I pack up snacks, my water bottle, set my laptop to a YouTube video that has a crackling campfire … Continue reading Camping fairy tale
I was thinking of making the title of this post, “Clouds of Doom” like the picture with this post, but thought better of it. Or as humor columnist Dave Barry would say, “But that would make a great name for a rock band.” Miserable people like others to be unhappy.

We all have them. Those stories you love hearing over and over again. One of the ladies in the nursery at my church said one little girl wants to hear about Daniel in the lion's den every Sunday.
