Out our way, trail drives are rare these days but come the fall and spring, there comes the time to gather and then push the herd from one pasture to the next. Compared to the old days, such "trail drives" are pretty easy and unremarkable, but some things never change. Riding drag is still the low end of the herding experience. Traditionally, the folk tapped to ride drag were the least skilled and unimportant of the wranglers. To ride flank or swing required a higher skill...
I preached a sermon this past Sunday. Here are some of my notes: Temptation lures us into wanting, craving something that we shouldn't have - for fame, fortune, wisdom, or pleasure.

So let's learn what...

And in our summers bright sun light, they don't want us to grieve. But sometimes we so sadly long for all our yesterdays; Their chats are missed, their kindness, too, and understanding ways. Sometimes a memory sheds warm light, that "light" shines in the dark; And eases pain,...
