  • January 3, 2026 4 a.m., 35 degrees, looking at 55 for a high. I reckon when the sun wakes up, the wind will as well. I’m excited about this first Saturday of a new year because tomorrow is Sunday, my favorite day of the week. There was a day when Sunday meant that we would…

  • January 2, 2026 On this date in 1949 the Midwest woke to what would later be termed, “The Blizzard of the Century! In most places the wind roared at a constant 60+ miles per hour. The snow clouds dumped a constant barrage of snow, blotting out the sun, moon and stars for hours upon long…

  • January 1, 2026 Happy New Year! – I hope??? May I suggest that before reading any further that you “pull your hat down and your boots up.” This could get a tad bit western: According to Mr. Webster’s Dictionary, the word “resolution” means, “The act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones.” So my…

  • December 31, 2025 Well, here it is, the last day of 2025. Back in the 1960’s I never gave a thought of living in a year starting with 20. Oh yea, and then there was Y2K, life as we knew it was going to end because all of the computers were going to malfunction. For…

  • December 30, 2025 The thermometer reads 24 degrees at 4 a.m. We are aiming at 45 for today’s high, with a NW breeze. I hope to leave the house soon to go look for a bugle cow. My tag expires tomorrow evening, so it’s down to the wire. The date carried the same date as…

Then in the afternoon we were blessed to have a great visit with the young couple who are planting a church in Baggs, Wyoming.…

  • December 28, 2025 We have a whopping 6 degrees at 3:30 a.m., headed for a blazing 20 as today’s high reading. Couple that with a stiff 25 mph wind and you get “Man, it’s cold out there!” On this last Sunday of 2025, I would like for us to visit about the power of positive…

  • December 27, 2025 Over the last few days, Miss Deb and I have found ourselves on the road. As we traveled across Wyoming and South Dakota I noticed one consistent element of the landscape that concerns me, overgrazing. I know, with the drought conditions of the Midwest, it is difficult to not attempt to get…

  • December 25, 2025 Merry Christmas! At 5 a.m. today, I spent some time praising our Lord for all of His kindness to us as a people, as Americans, and as His children. I spent some time thinking back to all of the Christmas Days our family has been allowed to celebrate, and of all of…

  • December 24, 2025 Good morning friends. I would like to begin today’s post with a THANK YOU! I am amazed, humbled and blessed that so many of you read these daily dribbling’s. I constantly pray that you are receiving some sort of a blessing during our times of fellowship. May our Lord continue to use…
