I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation. Nobody likes a know-it-all. It is especially irritating when the start with, “Well if it were me...” and proceed to tell you … Continue reading Know-it-all

At our ranch, we raise Scottish Highland cattle. The girls as well as the boys all have horns.

In the year … Continue reading Burn the ships
We all have them. Those stories you love hearing over and over again. One of the ladies in the nursery at my church said one little girl wants to hear about Daniel in the lion's den every Sunday.

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!
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.
