    Updated Feb 10, 2023

    Out our way, I have to confess as a greenhorn cowhand, the grazing land all looks pretty much alike. I ride up over one ridge or cross one arroyo and it looks the same on the other side. No wonder I got lost so often - for I had not yet developed "trail eyes" - the ability to see the sign that pointed me in the direction I needed to go. One trick seasoned wranglers have sought to teach me in developing "trail eyes" was simply to look behind every few hundred yards and check...

  • Pastor's Corner: Hate doesn't belong here!

    Updated Feb 10, 2023

    Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen (1 John 4:20 NRSV). Why do people hate each other? God is love, that is what scripture tells us (1 John 4:8). This world that God created, He created it out of love. God then made man and He also did this out of love. God created this large universe and all of His creation out of love. Yet, there...
