I got a telemarketer who called my office so good the other day! He started reading from his script, very monotone in his speech, and then asked if the owner was there. I replied, “Yes I am, and I did the job exactly as you told me to, but there's blood everywhere! What do you … Continue reading Dead weight

Pink Slip
I always feel sorry for that poor guy named Will. You know, when in the movies, the person in charge says, “Fire at will!” Fire at will is a command given to allow the troops to fire when they are ready. They use their discretion and choose their targets. It gives the soldier a greater … Continue reading Pink Slip
It just slipped out!
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!
Foundation
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
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
Not giving it the time of day
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
Snake in the grass
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
Grammar Lesson
Here in Colorado, kids are starting to go back to school. So I thought this would be a great time for us to brush up on our English grammar. And it will be short and sweet. A pronoun is any of a small set of words (such as I, she, he, you, it, we, or … Continue reading Grammar Lesson
Busting my chops
I just love how my brain makes connections between things. It gives me ideas for these posts. I also love how a single phrase can have more than one meaning. In a recent message, my pastor told us how you can remember the order of the small epistles in the Bible. Gentiles Eat Pork Chops, … Continue reading Busting my chops

I love it when I'm offered more! Don't you? Especially if it's free! Well that's whats going on here, right now, this very second. In my previous post, Rescued, I was sharing about the man born blind that Jesus healed. (See John 9) He was taken before the Pharisees where they questioned him twice about … Continue reading Click here for bonus content
