This post will be short and sweet. (No, David and Alan, this still does not mean mini Snickers!) It came to me while reading this verse that there are a lot of folks out there that think it is their mission to cut people down to size. They somehow think this makes them bigger, smarter, … Continue reading Cut you down to size
I had a WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) moment this week as a result of the bridge failure where I live. (See my previous post https://godstillspeakstoday.com/2024/04/20/i-did-not-see-that-coming/) The state and county worked really hard to open a detour on a dirt county road to allow us access, twice a day. After five days in town I … Continue reading WWJD Moment

The repetitive texts and illustrations for the Dick and Jane primers were intended to work together to help young readers understand the story they were reading. Many … Continue reading See Spot Run
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 sure sounds like a lot of work to me! Having worked at the ranch, cutting through rocky areas to lay pipelines, and fence lines, please know, I speak from experience. The first one mentioned in the Bible was for Abraham's wife Sarah. (Gen. 23:20) Rock cut tombs were a form of burial and interment … Continue reading A matter of perspective
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!
