  • November 6, 2025 The thermometer is showing a hearty 53 degrees at 3:45 a.m., but the forecast is that it will be 46 by 7 a.m., with 47 mph wind gust. The fun part is that I need to put 4′ by 8′ sheets of foam on the house today, this ought to be exciting!…

  • November 5, 2025 Yesterday I introduced you to my favorite milk cow – Tiny. Tiny was a short-legged Jersey who looked like a Hereford cow. Because she was built so close to the ground, and because she had really short faucets, it was my job to milk her first each morning and evening. All of…

  • November 4, 2025 Wow, it’s 42 degrees at 5:30 a.m. When I let Coffee out the door, the back yard is light up with the full moon. I have so many memories of walking through nights with a full moon. I’ll just admit it up right front – I do not like winter! I have…

  • November 3, 2025 Good morning friends. It was 23 degrees at 4 a.m. and has now dropped to 21 degrees at 6:30 – it’s always coldest just before daylight. Could that also be the condition of the American church? We are closing churches at the average of nearly 300 per month, our culture is out…

  • November 2, 2025 At 4:30 this morning the temperature is 47 degrees with a 24 mph wind gusting to 48. Because it’s a chinook wind it’s really not that bad outside today. The weather forecast is that we will enjoy a high of 72 degrees here in Lusk today. Websters defines chinook as “a warm…

  • November 1, 2025 Good morning! It is 3:45 a.m. and I’m excited to share with you today. At this moment in Lusk, Wyoming the thermometer is showing 17 degrees, but the wind isn’t howling, at least not yet! Today, we are going to visit about “Today.” The Lord Jesus tells us to just deal with…

  • October 31, 2025 28 degrees, headed for 46, my ‘ol bones are already cold. With at least one more day of working on the north side of the house, this will be a tough one. Let’s talk school for a minute. My education experience started in a one-room county schoolhouse. I and one other boy…

  • October 30, 2025 Well, here we go with another day. Yesterday at daylight the temp was 16 degrees, today is 32. Yesterday’s high was 56, today’s forecast is for 50 degrees as a high, with wind gusts to match the temperature – another day in Paradise. As I have mentioned before, the ranch I grew…

  • October 29, 2025 I’m sorry for the late post today, I’ve been praying about what I am to write, and now I believe we are ready to learn from God’s truth. Let’s travel back to Genesis 1:2, “The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit…

  • October 28, 2025 “This I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise.” Psalm 56:9b-10 God’s “word” consistently reminds us that when we walk with God, His “word” will remind us of His desire to walk with us. I’m sorry to start our visit…
