My last post had stinging in it. (See Scorpions.) This one does to, of a different nature. So it's time once again for another tale from the ranch! Back in 2012, we were working on putting in a french drain for one of our springs on the ranch. Along the backside of the hill where … Continue reading Stinging nettles
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
I recently had one of those situations, where I was caught up in the moment, and the words just slipped out of my mouth. But I was not embarrassed by what came out. I was outside shoveling snow. It was so peaceful and quiet, and I was just quietly praising God. I got so caught … Continue reading It just slipped out!
This is not your average Christmas post. You know me and math, so when I read this in the book, The Greatest Words Ever Spoken, by Steven K. Scott, I had to share it with you this Christmas. In the book, Mr. Scott has taken all the words of Jesus and organized them into categories. … Continue reading Christmas Math
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.

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!
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
I am currently listening to crunching noises. We got a new box of beef cheek chews for our five dogs. These last a lot longer than the cow ears we used to get. The dogs each have their own particular spot they take their chew toy. If another dog strays into their territory, low, rumbling … Continue reading Guard
I normally write a post each weekend. This last weekend I had nothing. No inspiration from the Holy Spirit, just nothing. It was the week after the last filing deadline for the 2021 tax season, and I was just beat. God knew I needed to take some time off. So I did. I read and … Continue reading Goodness
