Dear friend, It’s been quite a while since I’ve written. I thought I’d answer a question that folks ask me. The question I get asked the most often is, “How is retirement?” Most often my response is, “Well, I’m pretty tired.” I miss the residents at the care center and I miss making a difference in their lives and in the lives of those that I would meet through my work as the chaplain for the hospital, care center and hospice. Many members of our community have told me ho...

Out our way, winter can be a harsh time and both Doc and I tend to spend most of it indoors. We do not ride the trails and seldom chase the cattle.

I curry Doc and he seems to enjoy it, smooth out his blanket and then lift the saddle up and onto his back. I reach under for the cinch to pull...

The other hand is knocking on the door. The painting clearly shows that we must answer the knock and open the door before we can know the abundance of God's love....
