In the last two legislative sessions, I worked with Republicans and Democrats to craft bipartisan, fiscally responsible budgets that set the foundation for our thriving economy. And as you can see, the results...
A common joke among horse people goes like this: If you want to keep your kids off drugs, get them hooked on horses, and they’ll never have money for anything else. Sure, we laugh — we laugh as hard as the average layperson about the exaggeration — but we know. Right? We know this is a truism disguised as a joke. You can hear it at the end of our laugh. There’s a catch in the voice, maybe a quiet sigh or a choked-off grunt. It’s the reality hitting home. And, yes, to be cle...

When Pastor Dan stated that there is yet more the Holy Spirit has to teach the church, he was correct. We grow by revelation. Often Christians become stuck in a rut and receive no more revelation from the Holy Spirit. We are capable of becoming arrogant by believing that God loves our church group more than another group of believers. When the Holy Spirit teaches us a particular Bible truth, we are often quick to judge others who may have not yet received revelation on a particular topic. May God have mercy on us. I was on...

I’ll wake you when it’s over.” She thought: “Are you kidding me? Sleep? Who can snooze with all th...

In the beginning, it was a lot to take in. “When I was playing 8-Man f...
