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
With the holiday season upon us, home means different things to different people. For some, it is family gathering and reconnecting with loved ones. For others, it is being patient with family members who always knows how to push your buttons. Home really struck home with me this past Wednesday. I woke up thinking about … Continue reading Struck home
I'm sure it has happened to us all. Suddenly you see something that was right under your nose the whole time, and you say, “What? Glory be!” Glory be is an exclamation expressing surprise. Well, it happened to me this week. I was reading in John 17 and 18. John 17 is a beautiful prayer … Continue reading Glory be!

Saturday morning, I went out to do my chores and give water to the chickens. We have a … Continue reading Snake in the grass
I dare you to try and say it three times fast! Mephibosheth. (Well, I'll give you an “A” for effort.) Here is how to pronounce it phonetically. Muh-fib-uh-sheth. Now, say it three times slowly. This man was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of King Saul. Jonathan and David had a very special friendship. … Continue reading Who? You know, what’s his name
Once upon a time there was a little chicken, whose name happened to be named Chicken Little. (Go figure.) Well this little chicken was having a bad day. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed, because she worried all night about rising inflation and soaring gas prices. There was no morning coffee … Continue reading The sky is falling!
Today boys and girls, we're going to look at going with the flow. Defined it means to be relaxed and accepting of a situation.
