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
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.

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.

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
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
You know when you read one of those stories that make you say, “Hey, I want to be just like that when I grow up.” You know because it awakens something inside of you that makes you realize you can be like that right now. You just need bold trust. Please indulge me for the … Continue reading Bold trust
It's a classic love story. Boy meets girl. They get to know each other. Boy loses girl. Boy finds girl again, they fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. It is time for another tale from the ranch. This love story played out here at the ranch, but not in the way … Continue reading Boy meets girl
