I know we’re still in Week 1 of 2023, but I am not impressed — and this is from someone who doesn’t put much stock in the whole new year is a new beginning, to be a new person, to have new goals. It’s a clean slate. Goodbye old year we got a newly swaddled baby year we can raise to be anything we like. A new year is just another day, the significance of which is trying to remember a new number for any references to the date. I appreciate the day off in its honor, but I don’t throw it a party. I don’t make lists for it. I d...

"Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou are with Me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." Out our way, you would seldom see any resemblance to the modern Western town and the Hollywood version of it. Our streets are paved, we park cars and trucks instead of tie up horses, and seldom, if ever, do you see a modern cowhand walking about with jingling spurs or wearing his revolver in town. But up on the Tiger Ridge you...
In my morning devotion this past week, I came across a quote by A.W. Tozer, which read, "Personal experience must always be first in real life.

The same truth applies to all things we...

Grief means sorrow, as loss of one; especially someone dear. They're flown off, left us behind, life no longer feels clear. The waves of grief do come on us like waves thrown on a beach. But we don't drown, we just feel grief; dear ones aren't in our reach. We go through shock, depression, too; but times of laughter too, Don't dwell on loss but what we're left, like stuff that's good for you. While we're suffering, glory's ahead, exceedingly with joy! We're born to die - when...
