  • August 25, 2025 For the past forty years, my early Sunday morning routine has been consistently the same, yesterday was no exception. I got up at 3:30 a.m. and sat before the Lord. All last week I had worked on the message I was to preach, so I just needed to read the passage again,…

  • August 23, 2025 Yep, I’m so old that I can remember life without a computer, or a microwave, or a telephone. Shoot, I’m so old I can remember life without a television. Yet, life was so much simpler then. If we needed something from town, we waited until Saturday; the day for taking cream and…

  • August 22, 2025 I invite you to open your Bible to the fourth chapter of the book of Joshua. I am of the opinion that here, we too often miss one of the keys to walking with God. Joshua is the new leader faced with the task of bringing the people of Israel into the…

  • August 21, 2025 For some reason, yearling cattle seem to be their own critter – kind of like teen age people. Each group is gaining on adulthood, yet a considerable distance from reaching it. They can be mature and yet very immature, independent and needy, steady and wild, all in the same day! Working with…

  • 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. We started our visits by looking at the step-by-step process of remodeling the structure of this ‘ol house. Then we sat aside talking about construction of…

  • August 15, 2025 Today, we will discuss that last of our Spiritual Disciplines – Hospitality. In today’s culture, most churches are either digressing or dead. Why? Well, we don’t have the time, nor the space to go into all of details behind this issue, but may I suggest that the number one issue is because…

  • August 14, 2025 Allow me to start with a bit of honesty, my human flesh prefers to receive way more than it wants to give. I’ll take a wild guess that your fleshly nature is probably closely aligned? Yet when we become followers of Jesus Christ, we realize that our Heavenly Father loved us so…
