  • December 20, 2025 Today’s weather is a bit of a change from yesterday: Yesterday we had brown ground at 4 a.m., today it’s white. Though today will be 38 degrees cooler, the wind will be moving at 54 mph less speed; I reckon that’s a good trade. Once the “ol girl comes alive,” I will…

  • December 19, 2025 Another day with the high temperature and the wind gusts matching, both around 60! How big is your God? Are there some things that even you god can’t do? – My God is all powerful! Are there some things that your god does not understand? – My God is all knowing! Do…

  • December 18, 2025 With 71 mph wind gusts, I think Miss Deb and I will just hunker down and work on our puzzle! On Tuesday one of our dear friends took a great trip. It’s a trip everyone will get to take eventually, though there are two different destinations. Yep, yesterday our friend walked away…

  • December 17, 2025 I know that I have mentioned today’s topic before, but some things bare repeating, especially when those things are the truth of God. In Psalm 46:10 we read, “Cease striving and know that I am God;” I know that I, and most likely we often make things more difficult than they need…

  • December 16, 2025 Hang onto your Stetson, the wind is going to be screaming for the next four days! With all of the “weird” things going on around our world, this weather is like nothing I’ve ever seen this time of year, here in Wyoming. We should be knee deep in snow by now and…

  • December 15, 2025 At 4:30 a.m. we have 41 degrees, looking forward to 57 for today’s high. With a 9-mph breeze, I hope to get some more things buttoned up outside. Today will mark half-way for this last month of this year. Time sure enough is going by way too quickly. O.K., let me make…

  • December 14, 2025 Eight degrees with heavy frost, headed for 56 for a high, and I can wear my Stetson today! From the time I was around seven years old, I got loaned out a lot. That is, I would leave our house at daylight, or sometimes the night before, to ride to a neighbor’s…

  • December 13, 2025 Good morning, friends. At 5 a.m. it was 21 degrees and extremely quiet here in Lusk. There was no wind, nor any trucks on the highway. The only sound was absolute quiet. So, I just sat in the quiet and listened for the Holy Spirits to speak into my life. He did!…

  • December 12, 2025 Well, I’m finally back home and able to get to my computer. This has been a grand day! Miss Deb, Coffee and I all went to Scotts Bluff today to get groceries and to continue celebrating my beautiful bride’s birthday with a meal at Culvers. I know, nothing fancy, but we both…

  • December 11, 2025 At 4:30 a.m. the temperature is 51 degrees, headed for 61. The problem is that the wind gusts are predicted to match the temperature for today. This is a special day around our outfit, it’s Miss Deb’s birthday. For the next four months we are the same age, old. I can’t say…
