The flowers bloom, then fade and die, about like humans do. We’re born, we bloom, and hopefully, we choose to follow YOU. Each living thing has a season, like worm to butterfly. We’re not green leaves, turn orange and drop; we do our best — we try. Parents, siblings, child, or our spouse, we’re all to travel on … From dawn to dusk, they lived each day, till one day “they” moved on. Inside our hearts, whatever day, our “aching” never ends. Your leaving us left grief and tears, a wound that does not mend. My joyfulness went w...
You know, Lord, while looking through the book “Your life is in God’s hand,” by Thomas Lindberg, it’s interesting how he reminds us not to fear, fret, fright, fume or forget. “Don’t fear,” he writes, then gives an example of slipping a piece of paper inside a book, then shutting the book, demonstrates how we’re hidden with Christ (Colossians 3:3).

As a kid, I can’t ever remember a Septembe...
Out our way, good water is precious. Up on the Tiger Ridge, we have reservoirs to hold the snowmelt and occasional rainfall, but by the end of summer, the upper pasture is overgrazed and the reservoirs are drying out. Thus, Charlie and I go up in early fall to move the herd down to the winter pasture, where the feed is lush and the water pure and deep. But sometimes the cattle refuse to go. I have shared before the time Charlie and I tried to move the herd down to the good pasture but they rebelled — running in every d...
