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 8, 2025 As I mentioned yesterday, it is archery elk season, one of my favorite times of the year! Every since I was just a boy, I have been mesmerized by the bugle of a bull elk. You can tell a lot about a bull just by listening to his call. A high-pitched call…

September 7, 2025 Miss Deb and I both have elk tags for this fall. Hopefully we will get to go together when it comes time to attempt to harvest one of these magnificent critters, which I tend to call “bugle cows.” There are few things more invigorating than to stand on a mountain side and…

September 6, 2025 As we begin another day, the Holy Spirit just reminded me that it is really easy to get stuck in the normal. I got up again. I read from the Scriptures, again. I’m sitting at my computer to write, again. Today, I have my plans of how things should go, again. Then…

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…

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!…
