Out our way, the cycle of nature is usually dependable. Snow melts and fills the creeks and reservoirs, then the rains top it off - the grass grows and flourishes so the herd has plenty.

We try to avoid the herd going thirsty and hungry by rotating them through different pastures. One pasture area is usually allowed a season of regrowth and...
On Sunday, Aug. 15, I preached the third sermon in the series "Anxious for Nothing," This series is based on the Apostle Paul's writings in Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We are also using a book written by Max Lucado by that same title...

None of us were really that tall but several of us were delighted to see that we were taller than five feet. Woo-hoo - even though it was only by one-quarter inch. Time passed, we'd kept in touch, then several of us were less than thrilled when a recent measurement set two of them, once again, at under five feet. Friend K. G. said, "No...
'Twas a gray day, inside and out; sprinkles of rain and tears. You're missed, dear one; yes, every day, and week, or even years. We look outside, memories come back of things we used to do. We traveled some, flew here and there, and visited a zoo! Remembering, you'd sweep the garage, then wash and wax the car. Carwash is now a handy place and it's not very far. It's mowing day, the neighbor guys, B., D. and M. work hard. Remembering how you did that too; we had a lovely yard....
