Out our way, everybody knows that if you are going to ride you are likely to get hurt now and then. I was fortunate when working cattle with Charlie up on the Tiger Ridge that I never had a "wreck." Doc, the only cowpony with four left hooves, stumbled and tripped up quite a bit, but never when we were actually working the herd. On private outings, however, that was a different story. More than once, I got "air time" as Doc stumbled, kicked out with a muscle cramp - if we call...
Human beings like to remember things ... special things. And they do so in remarkably creative ways. Americans are no different. In addition to building things, we also set aside certain days to remember someone or something that meant a lot to our collective experience as Americans. In November, we remember our veterans. And so we come to Memorial Day, a day to remember. Take a look at Joshua 4:4-7. It refers to a memorial. The people of Israel were on the final leg of their...
Another friend flew off last week, to be with You, dear Lord. When our turn comes, we'll fly off, too, NOT take our Bus or FORD. A split second, that's all it took, our loved one flew away.

While God makes us in Mamma's womb, we've not a clue 'bout birth! But once we're born,...
You know, Lord, family, friends and loved ones seem to be losing family, friends and loved ones, every week or every month. How great that remaining dear ones have a 'time' together, sharing special deeds and thoughts of those who've passed on. At one gathering, friends and family shared about their special "Ms. B."; what she'd meant to them, all she'd shared, quilts she'd made for family, friends and even several she'd sent to an orphanage. On and on they chatted when...
