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. They said there was also one installed by the door of the barn. We get some really harsh whiteout snowstorms, and at the first sign of a … Continue reading Lifeline

I speak sheep
Well as promised, I will now share with you why I have learned to speak sheep. About a month ago, I looked out the window because I heard a ruckus. And what to my wondering eyes did I see? But two Texas long horn cattle tussling with our two bulls! How did they get here? … Continue reading I speak sheep
Take your medicine
Mary Poppins had it right. Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down. Or as Solomon said in Proverbs 17:22, a cheerful heart is good medicine. I do my best every day to use my gift of encouragement to be that spoon fill of sugar in someone's life. Because face it, sometimes … Continue reading Take your medicine
Practice makes perfect
When you want to get it right, it pays to do a trial run. Practice makes perfect. That's why this post is exciting to me, and hopefully to you as well! Passover Sunday and Easter Sunday, my pastor was teaching on the timeline leading up to Jesus going to the cross. It was fascinating how … Continue reading Practice makes perfect
Rock star
Yes, I'm that person. And I'm darn proud of it too. You know who I am. I'm a rock star. You know, the one in her car with the music cranked up, singing along, bopping her head, and dancing in her seat. (All while safely holding on to the steering wheel of course!) That's why … Continue reading Rock star
Keep the faith
I hate when this happens! You're on a road trip and stop off at a little roadside diner, eating your lunch, minding your own business, when demonic forces feel it necessary to attack and try to kill you. This was the plot of the 2010 movie Legion. A group of strangers at a dusty roadside … Continue reading Keep the faith
Giggle
You will never forget your first time. (And every time thereafter ain't bad either.) When you experience it, the absolute power of it is so awesome, you break out in gleeful giggles! You step back and think, “Wow! Did that just happen? I need to do that again!” I'm talking about a giggle switch. This … Continue reading Giggle
Go with the flow
Today boys and girls, we're going to look at going with the flow. Defined it means to be relaxed and accepting of a situation. Live going with the current of the flow of a stream rather than trying to swim against it. I counted at least twenty one times where the Bible says “a land … Continue reading Go with the flow
Wax cold
Where I live always gets cold this time of year. I mean really cold. This morning it was 18 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), and it has now warmed up to 6 degrees above zero at 1 p.m. Today I was having a conversation with someone about a diesel station wagon we had in 1987. There … Continue reading Wax cold
Jubilee
I previously mentioned my word for 2022 is release. A friend of mine, said she is celebrating her Jubilee (50th) birthday this year. I already sent her her presents, even though her birthday is not until April, because the other morning on the news I heard there was a volcano that erupted, causing tsunamis, the … Continue reading Jubilee
