September 12, 2025 Everyone knows, when your horse bucks you off, get back on and go again. That is, after you catch him again. Most often if your horse bucks you off, he will then run away and leave you stranded. It may be that many Christians are feeling like their horse bucked them off,…

September 11, 2025 As we remember the events of this date, once again the hearts of Christians are saddened. It grieved my heart greatly to hear of the death of Charlie Kirk. If you will recall, in my last writing I stated, “I believe persecution will come to America, it’s just a matter of ‘When?””…

September 9, 2025 Tuesday, 5:30 a.m., 43 degrees. The weather man is predicting a 55 percent chance of rain today. But then toward the bottom of the page he lists the amount as “o.o4 inches.” Fifty-five percent sounds good, but the four-hundredths sure isn’t going to amount to much. If we get any, it won’t…

September 2, 2025 Greetings friends. With Labor Day behind us, it is time to get to work. Not just our work, but the work of advancing the kingdom of our King! We older folks fully know that we too are in the fall of our lives, and that winter is coming. Could the same be…

September 1, 2025 How was your “family reunion” yesterday? I pray that you were able to really enjoy being with your church family. Like all other families, they are most likely not perfect, but they are still a very special group of folks. Yesterday, Miss Deb and I bid the dear folks of Lance Creek…

August 30, 2025 If your parents are alive, you have relatives. If you have a living aunt or uncle or cousins, you have relatives. If you have siblings, you have relatives, and when you get married you gain relatives. All of that is to say, “the odds are quite good that you have relatives.” Take…
