From the Home Place

April 17, 2026

Starting at 27 degrees, moving up to 41 with 47 mph wind gusts. The talk of getting some wet snow has gone away.

Yesterday Coffee and I traveled to Wheatland after we dropped Miss Deb off to teach in Guernsey. All of this area is in an extreme drought, but the Wheatland area is the worst I have seen so far. They have actual sand dunes where there is usually green grass. The ground is so dry that it is literally blowing away. The problem is that once that sand gets to blowing, it acts like sandpaper and cuts off all of the grass in front of it, thus increasing the amount of blowing sand. Yesterday I saw sand drifts four feet deep! It will take lots of moisture before that grassland will ever recover. “Heavenly Father” please send measurable moisture to that area and the rest of Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota. Thank You, Amen.”

Between fires, wind and drought, much ground that produced grass and hay is no longer usable. That will mean that many cattle who should remain in production will be going to the sale barn. Loss of sustainable income means that many farms and ranches in the areas mentioned above will be forced to sell. If the ground is no longer usable for agriculture, what will it be used for?

Here’s another “drought” related fact for you. Enrollment in most seminaries and bible colleges is down twenty to forty percent, creating a drought of qualified pastors and church planters. As such, we continue to close around six-thousand churches in America every year, leaving a deficit in those areas. Even though we are planting around twelve to fifteen hundred churches each year, many parts of America are left without a spiritual influence. Thus, I would suggest that this is a major factor in the present declining condition of America. We have a spiritual drought as well!

It would appear that there is one more drought in America – it is reported that most Americans have lost their “hope.” One author writes, “America has become hopeless.” So, with a physical drought, a spiritual drought and an emotional drought, can this land sustain life? Yes!

God tells us in 1 Chronicles 7:14, “When my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Once again, we find that the condition of a nation rests upon the shoulders for God’s children – those who have a personal relationship with Him, not just know about Him.

It seems that God will heal our “land” – “area, nation, territory” – when Christians “humble themselves,” “pray” and “seek” God’s presence and turn from “wicked ways.” When we do our part then He will bring an end to the spiritual, emotional and physical droughts we are dealing with today. It would also seem reasonable to assume that until all of God’s conditions mentioned here are met, He will most likely not change our conditions.

Few things will humble a person more than to lose their home, faith and hope. Perhaps it is time for each of us to pay attention to God’s ways and not mans?

Humbly approaching God with you, Neal

We will start warm and end with a hot day, starting at 45 and ending at 65 with wind gust close to 40 mph. There is the “possibility” of afternoon “thundershowers,” hopefully with no fires. Tomorrow is still calling for some snow!

Yesterday I went in for my annual “wellness check” according to Medicare. My blood pressure and heart rate are lower than that of most folks, I suppose it’s getting ready to quit all together one of these days. While visiting our eldest daughter and her husband last week, we had a good laugh about a message Mandi had received from her Mom. As you know Miss Deb and I were in Baggs, Wyoming helping with the grand opening of a new church there on Easter Sunday.

We spent the weekend helping the planter family in getting ready for the grand day on Sunday. A grand day it was indeed! The town of Baggs has a population of 409 people, on Easter Sunday 92 of those folks attended Battle Mountain Community Church! We were all so blessed to see such a large number of folks come to Easter Sunday service.

During the service, Miss Deb and I worked in the nursery with the little ones. There was one little girl, 8 months old, who immediately captured my ‘ol ticker. May I say, her momma is feeding her quite well, making this little gal quite snuggly. During the service, she and I rocked in a office chair that was in the room. It didn’t take too long before she was sound asleep in my arms! Deb snapped a picture and sent it to Mandi, with the title “Your father is in heaven!” Unfortunately, the picture took a while to join the note!

So, when our daughter Mandi opened the text, all she saw was “Your father is in heaven!” at which time her heart skipped a beat. For a few moments, she thought that my ‘ol ticker had finally quit. We all had a good laugh when we were together a few days later, but I suppose there wasn’t much laughter in her heart for a few minutes.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when we often receive partial information from our news agencies, and other folks as well. As such there are also those times within our lives that our “‘ol ticker” skips a beat after hearing a partial truth.

Yet so many live with just part of the truth from the Bible. Two major cults of our day often appear at your door with such a partial truth. Oh, they claim to read the same Bible that you read and to love the same Jesus as you love, yet in their doctrine they deny the truthfulness of the full Bible and believe Jesus to be less than God. They sow partial truth, about the greatest truth ever revealed to humanity. Theirs tends to be a salvation by works instead of by faith. (Rom. 5:1)

The Apostle Peter was writing of such folks when he penned these words in 2 Peter 3:17, “You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness.” Peter then gives us verse 18 as the means of not falling for spiritual half-truths, “but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”

Yes, loved ones, there are folks who sure would love to convince you that they are the only ones who have the “true faith,” while they deny the deity of Jesus Christ and the absolute truth of the Scriptures as inspired by God.

Stand firm in your faith, know what the Bible really reveals and live it each day of your life. If you are not sure of what you believe and why you believe it, find a Bible-believing church near you and ask the pastor to connect you with someone who will help you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Grow and glow!

Daily growing in faith with you, Neal

April 15, 2026

Good morning! Today is starting at 30 degrees, moving up to 69 with 20-38 mph winds. The weather forecast has upgraded Friday’s snow fall to possibly 4″ for our area. That will make travel difficult and the pastures green!

Well, here it is, the dreaded “Tax Day.” This is the day that most state and Federal income tax payments are due. Around our outfit we also have to pay one other tax, “The Sit Tax.” Any time that Miss Deb or I sit down, Coffee is quickly there to charge us a tax for sitting down. With her head in our lap, and her backside wiggling, she becomes our own IRS agent, collecting the tax every time either of us try to take five.

We gladly pay the tax, scratching her from nose to tail, or at least a quick pat on the head, and then Coffee curls up underneath Miss Deb’s reclined chair. Silly dog! When Coffee was just a few months old, she figured out that her evening meal happens at 4 p.m. each day. So, one day last week, we were both in our recliners studying for upcoming lessons. Miss Deb looked up at the clock and said, “Oh no, it 4 o’clock!”

Coffee flew out from under Miss Deb’s chair and looked straight at Deb, who then asked, “What happens at 4 o’clock?” To which Coffee trotted out into the entryway and stepped on her “Eat!” button. Miss Deb lowered her chair and went and fed the dog.

Monday, Miss Deb was gone to her ladies Bible study, and I was working in the shop. When Deb returned, we both came into the house, where we were quickly greeted by Coffee and as we all walked into the living room, we noticed that Coffee had been busy herding her stuffed toys (see picture). This is what happens when your Border Collie doesn’t have cattle or sheep to work.

The same can be said for Christians. When we are not busy doing the work that we were made for, we quickly find other things to entertain ourselves. In 2 Thessalonians 3:11 we read, “For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.” Here an “undisciplined life” is referring to one who’s life is “untrained.”

Such a person, much like our Border Collie Coffee, has an inward drive to do something, but because of their lack of training or discipline, they end up just being busy doing something instead of doing the things they were called to salvation for. Such a people are called “busybodies” according to the Bible.

You see, a “busybody” is a person who isn’t busy about the Lord’s work as they should be, usually because they are too busy examining the lives of others. A true definition of the word “busybody” is, “one who is a meddler.” It would appear that this is the person Jesus was speaking of when He said, “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

Yes, I realize that by writing this article, I could easily be classified as such a person, but I hope not. Rather, my heart’s desire is to “spur one another on to good works,” or to say, “come follow me as I follow Christ.” The simple truth is that we all have “good works” to do that do not involve being busybodies.

You see my friends, our salvation in Christ Jesus is not the end of the story. No, in fact, salvation is just the beginning of the story. The Bible makes it very clear that when a person is “born again,” that person is given spiritual gifts to use for the advancement of God’s kingdom. When a Christian uses their spiritual gifts, the people around them are blessed.

So, how about today we all do the “good works” our Heavenly Father has for us to do? Otherwise, we each run the risk of being busybodies and just rearranging our toys.

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

Working with you to fulfill our salvation, Neal

Starting at 44 degrees, headed for 65 with 24 mph wind gusting to 47 mph. For now, Friday looks like 30 degrees for a high with 1/2″ of snow! Moisture!

I love Sundays! That’s the day that we get to go to church and be involved in the lives of others, how much fun is that! Yesterday, I was blessed to get harassed by some folks, encouraged by some folks and to get to pray with other folks. I was exceedingly blessed to watch the baptism of several people making their public statement as Christ-followers!

I taught Sunday School, preached a sermon, sang some great music, prayed and totally enjoyed a day of giving more than I received. You see loved ones, that’s what Sunday is supposed to be. I think that our loving Heavenly Father desires us to follow His leading and to be generous givers. Giving of our time, our resources, our talents and giving of our spiritual gifts for the “building up” of the body, the local church.

I have experienced too many years of watching consumers attend church for what they get. Sure, we all go there to receive, but how often do we go to church looking for an opportunity to give? Yesterday I was blessed to get to hold the door for a person who was encouraged by a smile and a friendly voice. I was blessed to get to lead a Sunday School class where the “students” do most of the teaching. I was blessed to get to see people connect with their Heavenly Father while we studied the final verses of Ephesians 2 during our sermon time. I was blessed to get to see the large smile upon my dear wife’s face as she left church, having enjoyed a morning of being a blessing to others.

It semes to me that when we go to church to give instead of just receive, it is a much more enjoyable experience. Most of us love the old hymn “I Surrender All.” Yet, how often do we actually live it? Isn’t to “surrender” fulfilled when we give? It doesn’t matter what you have, be willing to give it for the blessing of someone else and watch your joy meter jump upward!

Now wait right there, the one thing that few care for you to give is your opinion. That’s right, few of us care about your opinion about politics. Try speaking words of joy. As the old saying goes, a nice smile is the one thing you can give that will be returned to you. Remember Jesus said that He came to give us His joy, how are we doing at passing that same joy along to others?

May I suggest we go to church next Sunday to actually “surrender all to Jesus.” That includes surrendering both attitude and action. When it comes to church, go to give and just watch what you receive back “pressed down and multiplied.”

Realizing that giving is real living, with you, Neal

April 12, 2026

Well, guess what? The wind is going to blow for the next two days – steady at 22 and gusts of 50 mph! Today’s high should be decent at 72, so let’s all “blow” to church and watch our Lord work in and through His people.

Friday, Miss Deb, Coffee and I traveled through part of the Black Hills of South Dakota. We noticed two things of concern: the Hills too are extremely dry, and they too have had damaging winds this past winter. We say many trees with the top half blown off, or the whole tree blown over, roots and all!

Blow over trees happen most often when a forest is thinned for the health of the remaining trees, yet thinning also increases the possibility of blow overs. You see, when pine trees grow 50-60 feet in height on a mountain, their root system is still quite shallow. When the forest is actually “overpopulated” with trees, there is little blow over because the trees rub against one another rather than blow over. Before thinning a forest, each tree has an overly close neighbor which uses much of its sunshine, soil nutrients and moisture, preventing many of the trees from reaching their potential size.

So, on a mountain covered with pines, you can either thin and have healthier, larger trees, and an increased probability of blow over. Or you can allow those trees to be overcrowded increasing the probability of disease, fire danger and stunted growth. Every state has to choose which method to use.

One of the things we need to remember, God has told us to “manage” the world upon which we live. As such, we need to thin forests to keep them healthy, but that also increases of chances of blow over when you have a season of extreme winds like this year has been so far. As usual, management requires risk.

The situation with the Black Hills forests appears to be a great illustration for how God works in our lives as well. When we are allowed to “grow up” with a great support system around us, a person will tend to have what we call “a happy and healthy upbringing.” With parents, grandparents, family members and friends all working together to help a young person grow into an adult, that young adult’s support system can also become that which keeps the young person from reaching their full potential!

That is why, God has built into each person a natural desire to be independent and to want to learn how to live on their own. The problem is that when that young person starts to live on their own, the possibility of “blow over” is now greater because of the lack of a close support system. Quite often, young adults struggle with learning how to be healthy, functioning adults who able to stand on their own.

And that my friends, is where the local church is to become an active part of the life of a young adult. Their church family is not to replace their original family; the church family is to be an extension of that original family. The next stage of growth if you will.

When a young person chooses to “thin” the family structure, and to move out on their own to pursue the life God has for them, they usually become more vulnerable to bad things happening – blow over! Yet if that young adult quickly becomes part of a healthy church family, the odds of that your adult maturing into a fully functional adult increases.

A church family is to differ from a young person’s original family in that the church family allows the young adult to “grow,” yet they are there to give the young person others to “rub” on for support. That is why it is so important for older saints within the local church to get involved in the lives of the young adults who walk through your church doors, they need your support.

Truth be told, that is part of why God draws each of us to be part of a church family. From time-to-time when the winds of life blow hard, we all need the support of someone else that will allow us to “rub” against them during a storm. Within the church, we call such folks our prayer partners. They are the ones God has placed within our lives to help us stand tall against life’s trials, yet they are not to be so close that they stunt our growth.

A healthy church family will encourage me to “grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ” yet, they will not make excuses nor rescue me when God is attempting to do some “thinning” within my life. We must all sink our roots firmly into the promises of God’s word, be nourished by the fellowship of other believers, and learn to use the support system of the other saints at church. You see my friends, church isn’t about me, it’s about us.

It seems to me that a proper support system at my local church is there to help me learn to live my faith, not theirs, nor the faith of my earthy family. My church family is to push me to live by faith and to do the good works mentioned in the Bible. As such, my church family is there to support and encourage me, but they are also there to help me learn how to stand firm in the faith, to stand on my own.

Yep, the winds of life will blow against us, yet being involved in a Bible-teaching, Bible-living church will actually help us to learn how to stand firmly on our own. God’s plan is rather clever, isn’t it? As He gives us the desire to be independent, He has also established a system to help us be interdependent. “What an awesome God we serve!”

Helping other trees grow with you, Neal

April 10, 2026

The weather forecast simply reads, “Cloudy and windy.”

That’s the forecast for conditions on the outside, but inside of me this morning the weather is bright and calm. Last night’s meeting with our young men’s group was amazing! I sure wish I would have had that kind of wisdom and spiritual insight when I was in my 20’s. Each of these young men remind me of a person from the Bible. Remember, biblical names represent who that person really was.

One of our young men honestly plans to be the President of the U.S. before his earthly journey is complete. I’ve given him the name of Joshua. Another one impresses me with his ability to speak kindness and encouragement into the group; he is a Barnabas for sure. In my mind this one needs to be appointed to the office of the Secretary of Kindness in Congress. Another one of them, shines as the DAD of the group, everyone looks to him for leadership, yet his humility reminds me of Moses. Yep, and then there is the Peter of the group, full of ideas and energy. The rest are great young men, still growing, learning faithful, and yes, I have biblical labels for them as well.

As I interacted with them last night, I thought to myself, “I suppose these guys see me as Abraham?” Just old. There is nothing to make a man wish for another run at this thing called life like being around a group of young men who are full of the wisdom and the grace of God.

So, as long as we are handing out biblical character names, what is your biblical name? Would you be a Martha or a Mary or an Esther, or an??? Or you guys, who would be your biblical likeness? As far as my two cents goes, I think each of us as followers of Jesus have a strong resemblance to one of the folks mentioned in the Bible. You know, as a child of God, you have similar “characteristics” of someone mentioned somewhere in the Bible.

Unfortunately, much like today’s weather forecast, many folks claiming to know Jesus as Savior appear to be “cloudy and windy.” Cloudy because there is more despair and worry in their lives than there is Son-shine. Windy, because their words, of which there are many, say one thing, but their life says another.

You see, last night we spent considerable time visiting about allowing Jesus to be our LORD, not just our Savior. For Jesus to be my Lord, I have to allow Him to be my Master, the common understanding of the word lord. Yet with Jesus Christ, He is called Lord with a capital “L” because He wants to be the Master of my whole life, not just when I’m in church. Because Jesus is truly God, He will not force Himself upon any of us. If He is to be my Lord, I have to yield my life to Him fully, not just occasionally.

A life that is fully yielded to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is a life that has way more brightness and Son-shine in it than any other condition. Oh for sure, things won’t always go perfectly for a Christ-follower, but what happens on the outside of that person does not determine who they are on the inside. In another words, a person who knows Jesus as Lord does not allow life circumstances to determine their attitude and actions, they let Jesus do that.

Enough for today. May I ask one more question though, “If Jesus was to walk into our homes today, what biblical name would He give us?” After all, Revelation 2:17 says that He will give “a new name” to those who remain faithful to the end.

Waiting to hear our new name with you, Neal

April 9, 2026

Good morning! She’s looking like a fine day outside my window. Sitting at 31 right now, headed for 62 after the sun gets to cooking, with a 14 mph breeze.

Way back when I was a kid, this was one of the best times of the year, most every day was a branding! By early April I would always have two or three colts going well enough that they could be pretty-much trusted in the branding pen. I mean, they were not fool proof by any means, but they were solid enough that they would drag calves most of the morning.

I remember one big, stout Dunn horse I was riding for a feller. The ‘ol kid would buck if something spooked him bad, and the bugger could stretch the latigo on a good saddle when he blew, but I could get him covered most days. I took him to his first branding to an outfit about five miles south of us. I left at daylight and we hit a big swingin’ trot about a half mile from home. We stayed at that pace most of the way, except to open gates, and by the time we got to the pasture we were to gather, I was sittin’ pretty tall in the saddle seeing how everyone was complimenting how well behaved ‘ol Dunny was acting.

We had the pasture gathered and was headed for the branding pen, all was well. That is, until that jump cactus flew up and stuck ‘ol Dunny in the undercarriage. His first jump was about twenty feet long, and it slid me back on my rig a tad bit. But by the second jump I had both hooks over the point of his shoulders, and we were fittin’ a bronc ride! I reckon we tore up about 75 yards of pasture before the ‘ol boy decided to give up the excitement and let me pull that cactus out of his parts. The rest of the day went along like he was plumb broke and ready to go back to his owner.

Like I said, I loved branding season when I was a kid. Now, I can’t get my hip to rotate far enough to step into a stirrup, and if I was to ride anything like ‘ol Dunny today, he wouldn’t have to buck, the big jump would leave me looking for airplanes. Time isn’t really our friend when it starts adding up to years.

But, I guess that’s what they call the cycle of life. All of the old fellers that were with us that April morning back in the early 60’s have all been planted for a long spell by now. Those of us who were kids then, are old men now, if we are still above the turf, and the young fellers of today hadn’t even been planted yet back then.

Today, I enjoy going to brandings to get to maybe rope some calves on a borrowed horse, but the most fun of the day is jabbering with the young men who were just little fellers when we first met. It’s plumb humbling to ride for a young man who was in diapers not that long ago according to my calendar. Yep, time sure goes by quicker that a jackrabbit being chased by a hungry coyote.

I have to admit, about the only thing I’m really good at when I get invited to a branding now days is eatin’ and telling stories about “the way we used to do it.” I reckon most folks wish that those stories were buried as deep as all of my old friends, but they are kind enough to listen just the same.

Do you reckon that the Lord ever gets tired of all of our stories? I mean, He must listen to several million folks a day yammering about how tough things are and that He needs to pay them special attention. Yep, I reckon He gets an ear-full every day, but because God is so gracious and kind, He lets us tell Him all of our woes.

During my prayer time early this morning, it hit me, that I need to spend as much time thanking and praising God, as I spend asking for His assistance. Stop and chew on it a minute, if you were God and all I ever talked with you about was how tough my life is and about all the things I need you to do to fix my life, wouldn’t you get a little gun shy every time I showed up?

Now I know, our Heavenly Father is plum full of grace and kindness, but maybe we could at least thank Him for all that He did for us yesterday before we toss the troubles of today at Him. I mean, if you and I were to bump into each other on the street today, we would at least exchange pleasantries before one of us was to start bellyacking about life.

Here’s the other thing God taught me during our morning visit today, when I start my day praising and thanking Him, my whole attitude is better when I get up and get to goin’! May I suggest that you give it a try, spend the first minutes of your prayer time telling God everything you are grateful for and see if it doesn’t give you an attitude adjustment as well. ‘Sides that, He already knows everything we need before we even mention it.

I’m grateful to still be looking at the top of the Spring flowers with you, Neal

Here in Lusk, we are starting the day at 31 degrees, reaching for a high of 58 with hazy clouds and plenty of wind. I guess all of this wind is good for making electricity.

Yesterday, Coffee and I went to the Post Office to pick up a couple of books that I had ordered. On our way there we saw a flat-bed trailer hauling a Razor. You know, one of those loud, fast-paced recreational vehicles. Well, this Razor, like most of them, was mud from one end to the other. I have no idea how far they had traveled to find that much mud, but they had found it and were now hauling it home with them!

I remember back when we got our first television, the automobile commercials showed a station wagon or a really nice-looking car calmly cruising down the street or driving down a paved highway with everyone inside smiling happily as they traveled to grandma’s house.

Nowadays, vehicles are all about speed! Just watch the commercials – Dodge will show you how to destroy desert scenery with a band new Ram cutting cookies, throwing sand in all directions. Ford will show you how to rip through mud holes while pulling an over-loaded goose-neck trailer. And Chevy, they will show you how to tear up mountain scenery with the big wheels of their prized possession. And not to be outdone, Jeep reveals their snow busting beauty.

Yet you will notice, each of these vehicle advertisements appeal to speed and destruction. The amazing part to me is that I suspect most of the people who design said commercials are quite likely people who throw a fit about a farmer “destroying” nature by cutting down trees to plant a field. I’ll guarantee you, there was more mud on yesterday’s Razor buggy than I have stirred up in years and years of ranching. Yet with all of that, we do have one point in agreement, when that much ground is torn up, it will take years for it to fully recover. The same can probably be said about most of our Spiritual lives, after tearing up the ground for years with wild living, I want it to be repaired instantly.

What is our American infatuation with speed? Each day we hear of accidents that were caused by excessive speed! Here’s my point, that same desire for speed has spilled over into most folk’s spiritual lives. It would appear that we want to “accept Jesus into our hearts” and then we want to be a replica of the Apostle Paul within the next year.

My friends, Jesus invites us to go on a long, slow walk with Him. Seldom does the Holy Spirit bless someone with amazing, quick spiritual maturity. Most Christian maturity comes as the result of years of study, prayer or careful obedience. Growing in Christ is seldom a sprint, it usually takes place through a consistent walk with Jesus.

In my opinion, most of the cults have been started by someone who doesn’t want to walk with Jesus, instead they want to run off in another direction with a quicker, easier method of reaching spiritual maturity. Dear friends, may we not buy into such deception.

Read the writing of A.W. Tozer, he will help you understand that you most likely will never fully understand God during this lifetime, yet we should each daily be learning more and more about God, with a desire to be more obedient to God.

Perhaps everything changed with the invention of the microwave. That tin box changed the mindset of most Americans, instant gratification. But you see my friend, that is how the Bible describes the word “lust.” James states it this way, “But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.” (1:14) Isn’t that the point of all of those fast-paced commercials, they want you to lust after one of their vehicles?

James gives us the results of such sin in 1:15, “Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.” The “lust” of today’s microwave culture entices each of us to “go ahead and sin.” Sin by tearing up God’s creation; go ahead and sin by tearing up the life of God’s children. Good marriages, good families and good Christians all take time, effort, and lots of learning. Perhaps way too many young couples have jumped into the marriage vehicle expecting instant gratification, only to find just the opposite to be true? As such, America has one of the highest divorce rates in the world!

So, get yourself a cup of coffee or the drink of your choice, grab you Bible in the version of your choice, and sit down upon the piece of furniture of your choice, and read the Bible. It will help you to slow down, enjoy and grow in faith and obedience. And then tomorrow, repeat the process; and then repeat it again every day for the rest of your earthly journey. Hopefully, before you get as old as I am, you should have a solid understanding of who God is and how He works in your life: slowly, consistently and carefully. You see, God knows that we humans need to slow down and walk with Jesus as a way of life, instead of speeding into destruction.

After all, as we learn to walk with Jesus, we also have time to enjoy the scenery, instead of tearing it up.

Enjoying the scenery with you, Neal
