November 10, 2025 Wow, this has been quite a fall. Most often we go from summer to winter with very little fall-like weather in between. Yet this year we have been blessed with so many beautiful days long after summer has bid farewell. The summer to winter cycle is very much like the walk of…

November 9, 2025 Begin by reading Isaiah 6:1-8 It’s Sunday, and we get to go to church! But before you leave your home, please take a few minutes to pray: Pray for yourself, that your attitude and actions will glorify your Heavenly Father. Pray for your pastoral staff, if that be one or many. Pray…

November 8, 2025 At 4:30 this morning, Coffee and I rolled out of our beds to be greeted with a fresh coat of snow and 30 mph wind out of the north-west. It sure didn’t take the ‘ol pup long to get finished outside, and I’m not looking forward to going out there either. As…

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 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…
