EEEGADS! Yet another winter storm is hitting the Colorado Rockies. At our ranch we have five foot fence posts that are completely buried under snow. My husband has moved snow into fifteen foot high piles with the backhoe. “I am grateful for the moisture God, as we had a drought last year, but I am … Continue reading Live Under Par

Whine vs. Wine
Foolishness is becoming pervasive today. You see it in the news media and on social media. Almost everyone has an opinion on what is going wrong. They are whining, complaining, and critical, but cannot offer any real lasting solutions. It's hard to find someone being kind and encouraging. The whiners only go on and on … Continue reading Whine vs. Wine
This is war
To quote the great Bugs Bunny, “Of course you realize this means war.” He told this to the magician Ali Bama in the Case of the Missing Hare right after Ali Bama pops him in the face with a blackberry pie. (Thanks Valerie Cullers for being my muse and for your post that we can … Continue reading This is war
Why do we pray?
I was doing a little light reading during tax season. You know, something different from the tax code. The following is from Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology. Enjoy! God wants us to pray because prayer expresses our trust in God and is a means whereby our trust in him can increase. In fact, perhaps the primary emphasis of … Continue reading Why do we pray?
All means all
I was hungry before leaving work the other day. I was making a mental checklist of what I had to do when I got home and before eating dinner. Wash the eggs, water the horses, unload the dishwasher, put away the laundry and then make the dinner. So before my half hour drive home, I … Continue reading All means all
Soul Simmering Goodness
Sometimes I find God means for me to linger on a certain message until I work through it all. I call it soul simmering. I need to ponder and simmer on it until He deems otherwise. That happened recently when I read a post by Jennifer Arimborgo entitled You're Gonna Want to Write that Down. … Continue reading Soul Simmering Goodness

Thank God, Seasons change
This hot fudge sundae hasn't killed me, so it must be making me stronger. (Tweet from onlyfasteddie) Now that's the kind of suffering I can get behind! There are only two ways this can go my friends. God can save you from suffering, or God can help you through suffering. Either way, there is one … Continue reading Thank God, Seasons change
Trust me…
No, really. You've got to believe me. This will be well worth the 8 minutes and 49 seconds it takes to watch this. A beautiful sister sent me this link. (You know who you are!) So get rid of any distractions, find a quiet spot, watch and be amazed. I still get goosebumps and tear up … Continue reading Trust me…
Busted!
The television channel proclaims, “for the first time in history, you can watch all 456 episodes of the original Law and Order.” They call it a binge-a-thon. So my husband and I are watching some. There is a common plot theme. A crime is committed, the police find and arrest the bad guy (or gal), … Continue reading Busted!
