August 28, 2025 The year was 2007, Miss Deb and I were living in Custer, South Dakota where we were in the process of planting a church. Though we had been involved in ministry for several years, this would be our first plant. We like most church planters were starting at pretty much zero. The…

August 27, 2025 This Sunday will be the completion of a three-month commitment to fill the pulpit at a local church. I must admit, it has been a great blessing and we will really miss those dear folks. They have hired their new full-time pastor and are excited about what God has next for them!…

August 20, 2025 Yesterday Miss Deb and I, and Coffee of course, found ourselves on the road again. A little over 300 miles and we were back home again. You see, from Lusk, Wyoming everywhere is a long way away. Casper – 105; Cheyenne – 150; Scottsbluff, NE. – 90; Rapid City, SD. 150. To…

August 18, 2025 Yesterday was quite an adventure around this outfit. Our daughter Kami and her husband Jeremey are here for a couple-of-days visit. One of the things they wanted to do while visiting was to go on a nice hike, preferably in the hills. So, we traveled over to Glendo Lake and lit out…

August 17, 2025 Yesterday, Miss Deb and I were in Rapid City, South Dakota to meet family members. There were six of us gathered around a large table in a local cafe. Before we started placing our orders, I ask our server to make sure that I received the bill for the morning’s meal. Why?…

August 16, 2025 Good morning dear friends. Here we are at the end of another week. Allow me to bring a bit of summation to these writings thus far.
