November 20, 2025 As I’ve mentioned before, I spent a lot of time at my uncle Clayton’s place during my younger years. On this particular day he sent me out to check the water, salt and cattle in the north pasture. He instructed me to keep a sharp eye on Billy, the spotted horse that…

November 19, 2025 Read Luke 18:18-30 This is the story of the “Rich Young Ruler.” It would be wise to determine the elements of his title. “Rich,” means exceeding wealth, which in biblical times, even as now, brings “great influence and power” according to Young’s Bible Dictionary. Just like with most things acquired by people,…

November 18, 2025 Open you Bible to Matthew 14 and read verses 22-33; Now let’s spend some time looking for the golden nuggets buried within this passage.

November 17, 2025 Good morning friends. At 3:40 this morning the temperature is 42 degrees in Lusk, Wyoming, with a 84% chance of rain and a high of 46. I remember a winter day in 1965, dad and I were up and going at 4:30 a.m. He looked at the thermometer as we headed out…

November 16, 2025 It’s 35 degrees at 3:45 a.m., headed for 63. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we read, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” Allow me to illustrate this with a look back to my younger days: With all of…

Moody once commented that he had little interest in getting more people into the Bible, but that his primary interest was to get more of the Bible into people. You see my friends, for the…

November 14, 2025 When I got up at 3:42, the temp was 42; I’m sure glad that I didn’t get up at 3:00! Today, I pause to pray for all of the young men who will be competing in the Wyoming state football championship games tomorrow. This is the day that the best of the…

November 13, 2025 3:30 a.m. and 28 degrees, headed for 70 today! Well, according to my weather app, today and tomorrow are both right at that 70 mark, and then two days in the 60’s, and then it hits. Sunday is forecast to be the last day of a temperature above 60 until next spring.…

November 12, 2025 Last night, Miss Deb’s phone literally lit up with post after post of the Northern Lights. But the best part was that we drove out north of town, sat on a county road and Miss Deb was able to see the Northern Lights for the first time in her earthly travel. Me…

November 11, 2025 Good morning, dear friends. It’s a whopping 50 degrees at 4 a.m., headed for 60, another beautiful fall day. The way it looks, I will be spending this gorgeous workday in the car. I have to go on another 300-mile road trip and be back home by 4 p.m. to watch one…
