  • They are missed!

    December 9, 2025

    Weather report: The wind gusts are almost twice the high temperature for today! I’ll be wearing a cap and not my Stetson when I go outside.

    Today is the birthday of our youngest child, Happy Birthday Son! Miss Deb and I were just blessed to get to visit with him and his family during a video chat. I won’t say where they live, but at 5:30 a.m. here, it was 7:30 p.m. at his house. We sure do miss getting to see him and his beautiful family, but he continues to serve his country well.

    Every time we get to sneak in a video chat, I feel so very blessed. I think back to all of the families who years ago sent their son off on overseas military tours and all they could ever do was hope for a possible letter. Or think of the parents who would help their daughter and her husband load a covered wagon, knowing that they probably will never see her again! We can jump on the internet or a plane and see our children within a day, or two of travel, my how times have changed.

    Yet as one reads biblical accounts of life during that time, we have to wonder what their lives were really like. One thing I’m sure of, family was still family. A young couple exchanges vows, sets out to make their mark on this world, have children, spend years nurturing and developing those children and then one day send those young adults off to repeat the cycle. Yet one thing is always true, the life our children live is not very similar to the life we lived at their age. Things are always changing.

    Though life is different for different cultures, in different locations, there are still many similarities when it comes to raising a family. The primary similarity that we all hope for is that there will be plenty of love shared within the home and through the family wherever they call home. Our Heavenly Father created us to express His love to one another, especially within the family.

    This time of the year we all look forward to celebrating the holidays with family. We all have family who have passed on from this life, and they are missed. Many of us have family who live so far away that getting together is not possible, and they are missed. Many of us have family members who have other obligations that prevent them from coming home, and they are missed.

    Also, as a Christ-follower you are part of a larger family. When you don’t come home on Sunday, you are missed. I know, sometimes we are too busy to make it to church, and yet for others, attitude keeps us from the church family, but you are still missed.

    Now, let’s take this family thing one step further. As a Christ-follower you are a member of God’s family. When you don’t stop to give Him a call on a regular basis, you are missed. When you don’t ask Him for assistance, you are missed. When you are too busy to sit down and listen to His wisdom, you are missed. And for the person who refuses to become a part of God’s family through Jesus, you are missed.

    Yep, the holidays are a wonderful time for family. But for those of us who are no longer able to get the family together for a meal around the table, the holidays become a time of missing the precious members of our once physically close family. They are missed!

    So, if you can get your family together from the holidays, celebrate God’s kindness to you! But if any member of your family isn’t able to make it home, let them know, they are missed!

    Celebrating family with you, Neal

  • Coming change!

    December 8, 2025

    On our way to church yesterday morning, there was a beautiful sundog in the eastern sky. It was located north of the sun, which is usually read as cold weather on the horizon. If a sundog is south of the sun, warmer weather can be expected. Yet, over my years of walking across this ‘ol ball of dirt, sundogs seem to indicate more of a change in the weather, rather than specific colder or warmer. A sundog seems to be a warning that a change is coming.

    Here in our area, we have a change coming, the wind is going to blow at speeds that would be talked about on the national news if they were to occur in any place other than Wyoming. Here, a 70-mph wind is more of an inconvenience than a national weather alert.

    In Matthew 16:1-4, Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and Sadducees that He should give them a “sign from heaven.” Jesus replied by affirming their ability to read a red sky, but that their “evil and adulterous generation” would not be getting any special sign from heaven.

    Jesus had been healing various diseases, casting out demons and had forgiving sins, yet these leaders did not believe that Jesus was truly who He said He was – the Son of God! Today, the Holy Spirit is still doing amazing things in and through His bride, the church. Yet, just like in days of old, the “authorities” refuse to believe that Jesus is alive and well.

    Today, we too, regularly meet people who say that they cannot believe in God without a specific sign. Usually in these conversations they build their argument upon the negatives, not on positives. Such folks say things like, “I can’t believe in a God who would allow a little one to die.” Or they argue, “I can’t believe in something I can’t see.” And then there is the argument of, “If God was real, science would prove it.”

    So here we are today, with the same kind of folks Jesus dealt with in His time, “an evil and adulterous generation.” An “evil” generation is one that is consumed with self. An “adulterous” generation is one that will “sleep with,” that is to join with, anyone who will help them advance their selfish motives.

    In the times of Christ, the Pharisees and Sadducees came with a personal agenda, with a pre-formed opinion about the validity of Jesus. And as the Bible so clearly states, “there is nothing new under the sun.” Judges 21:25 concludes with these words, “In those days there was no king in Isreal; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Perhaps this last statement best describes our present generation. Everyone seems to be an authority about everything, much like the Pharisees saw themselves. It’s funny how people have always been the same, generation after generation.

    So, I conclude today’s writing with a comment based upon the first two words from my favorite verse of Scripture, “But God.” (Eph. 2:4) Regardless of how highly any of us who are alive today value our personal opinions, God will one day soon show Himself to be exactly who the Bible says He is, “Almighty God!”

    Looking forward to the return of Christ with you, Neal

  • All hail the KING!

    December 7, 2025

    With two inches of fresh snow, 28 degrees at 4 a.m. and the hope of 42 for a high, what a great day to enjoy the fellowship of other Christ-followers!

    Yes sir, this is a great Sunday to put on your fancy duds and head to your local church. You may ask “Why get dressed up?” Because God deserves it that’s why. Think about it, we dress up to go to weddings, funerals and special community celebrations, why not get dressed up to go to church to celebrate one person, the Lord Jesus Christ? To me it’s worth putting on my best clothes to attend the celebration of the greatest gift ever given to humanity, salvation in Christ Jesus!

    Why should we get all dressed up to attend church, because God dresses up for us. In Psalm 93:1 we read, “The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength.” Now let’s see you match those fancy clothes! “Majesty” implies the kingly nature of God. The Bible often mentions the “kingdom of God.” For there to be a kingdom, there must first be a king.

    The amazing element of God’s kingship is that unlike human kings who tend to be self-absorbed, our heavenly King is completely other focused. While earthy kings are attempting to amass riches, our heavenly King holds all of the riches of the universe in His mighty hand. While earthy kings attempt to show power and strength, our heavenly King is “all-powerful.” May I suggest that you go to “YouTube” and find Dr. S.M. Lockridge speaking of “That’s My King,” if you want to learn of the kingship of Almighty God!

    After listening to Dr. Lockridge, you will want to put on your good clothes and humbly enter into the presence of the one True King! With all of our different worship styles and all of our different music preferences for “church,” perhaps it’s once again time to put on your “Sunday best” and present ourselves for adoration of the KING! “Oh, come King Jesus! Halleluiah! Come King Jesus. May Your humble servants be allowed a glimpse of Your majesty and splendor even this very day!”

    “Lord Jesus, as we gather in Your presence, may we not only cloth our bodies with fine linens, but may we first and foremost, clothes our spirit with Your righteousness from on high!” Today is a day of worship; a day to worship the Most-High King!

    So get up, dress up and show up, to lift up your spirit to the Holy Spirit of God! This is not a “have to,” but instead, worship is a “get to.”

    Worshiping the KING with you, Neal

  • “Let’s Trade”

    December 6, 2025

    We are at 32 degrees, headed for 43, with wind, snow and maybe rain later. You go WYO!

    Last night and today, Miss Deb and I are at a Trade Fair with a some of her embroidery items. If the name of this event was made up of biblical words, we would attempt to understand the words in an effort to understand how it works. “Trade Fair” – Trade means you and I trade, barter, or exchange items; none of which takes place at the Trade Fair, everything is for sale. Fair would indicate that we trade or exchange things in a “fair” – equally beneficial – method. I can’t say much of that happens either. Yet, I think something close to this is might have taken place last night.

    Miss Deb makes these really cute little bear critters. They are super soft and just the right size for little hands to hold. Well, there is one short-legged feller who has completely captured my ‘ol ticker. He is so cute, and busy. He and I walked around the exhibit building several times looking at all of the pictures of critters. He knew most all of them including “buff-lo, elk, moose, deer, cow, horse, bear, pig, goat and a picture of a cowboy riding a bull was a “buck.” Yep, he is ranch-raised and offered to “shoot” the wildlife as we went by with his pointed index finger. He took a real likin’ to his little bear.

    One other bear was given by Miss Deb to a super cute little girl that we have known since she was a baby. Just a tad over a yearling, her blond curls and beautiful blue eyes captivate everyone she stops to visit with. Needless to say, when she stopped by Miss Deb’s booth, a pink bear jumped into her arms as well! She unzipped her pink coat, revealing a vest, right where she wanted Miss Bear to ride. After giving Miss Deb a big, beautiful smile, she and Grandma continued their shopping adventure.

    So, you see, there are some things that end up being traded at a Trade Fair after all; we both traded a stuffed bear for a smile and a few minutes of jabber from a little one. You might say we traded a small toy for a big joy!

    Isn’t that exactly what our Savior has done for us. We have absolutely nothing to offer Him, other than a smile and a meaningful “I love You,” or a “Thank You!” Otherwise, we absolutely beggarly poor. Look at Matthew 5:3, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” When we come to Jesus, we are spiritually poorer than the poorest beggar. We are absolutely bankrupt in that we have nothing to offer to Jesus for our salvation. Our riches, our stature in society, our dynamic personality, our kindness, all fall terribly short of being able to trade what we have for the salvation that He has for us.

    Yet, by His amazing grace, He kindly looks at us, smiles and offers a salvation that no other can offer. A salvation that exchanges the hell we deserve for an opportunity to live with Him at His place. All Jesus asks in exchange, is a confession of my guilt and a need of the gift He offers.

    With each little one last night, Miss Deb and I both asked the little one, “Do you want a bear?” Jesus asks, “Do you want salvation?” When we tell Him that we have nothing to trade for such a glorious gift, He then freely gives. He gives us an opportunity to walk with Him for the rest of our days on this ‘ol ball of dirt and then on into eternity. We receive a gift, a true treasure, that brings a big smile to our face. We give self to gain a Savior. WOW! what a trade!

    Enjoying a “fair trade” with you, Neal

  • Garbage gut!

    December 5, 2025

    Good morning all. A beautiful 32 degrees at daylight! When the sun gets up, she will add six more degrees to the ‘ol thermometer for today’s high.

    Yesterday was kind of a rough day around here. Coffee, our Border collie, ate something she shouldn’t have and is going crazy at both ends. Miss Deb has been running in circles getting products ready for a Christmas Bazaar here in Lusk this weekend and now she has a bum leg that is hurting her. So, as Deb took herself to the doctor, I took Coffee to the vet. Both of them are now on drugs and hopefully improving.

    The vet said that Coffee has a case of “garbage gut.” She ate something that she should have left alone, so now she’s on four meds in an effort to get her lined out and back to normal, hopefully soon. Coffee’s tendency to eat things that she shouldn’t reminds me of my tendency to see or say things that I shouldn’t. The reality is, we are all prone to sin.

    Why is it that sin is so easy and obedience is so very difficult? Well, the Apostle Paul would say that my flesh (my sin tendency) is my enemy, while the Holy Spirit is my ally. The issue is that I’m accustomed to satisfying my sinful nature, while I have to work at following the lead of the Holy Spirit. Simply stated, I am spiritually lazy. I would rather do that which comes easy: things like judging, criticizing, and gossiping. Rather than listening to the Holy Spirit and not judging others for the methods I use to judge them will be the method used to judge me. Not criticizing but instead building up others. Not gossiping but instead speaking truthfully in all situations. See, I told you, walking by the Spirit is hard work.

    The truth is, walking by the flesh has always been an automatic part of my life, while I am still learning how to walk by the Spirit. Each of us will always be a spiritual toddler here on earth. At this point I have to go back to the old Indian chief who stated, “Inside of every person is two dogs, a black dog and a white dog; which one is the strongest? The one you feed the most often.” You see the real problem is that I am way too much like my dog Coffee, I too tend to be a “garbage gut,” when it comes to what I feed on.

    On the days that my first food is the word of God, it seems to be easier to walk with Him through the rest of the day. But, on the days that I hit the floor-a-running, my flesh tends to be boss. In Colossians 3:1 we read, “Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” So, now we have to truthfully answer the question, “What do I spend most of my time “seeking?” The simple truth, that which I seek most is that which I find most. If I spend my day seeking the riches of this world, my flesh is happy, for a season. However, if I spend my day “seeking the things above,” then I am blessed as I walk with the Holy Spirit, finding eternal happiness.

    Summary, I get to decide which dog I feed the most. Will I eat the food that is good for me, or will I too be a “garbage gut” and feel sickly? Oh, by the way, you have the to make the same choice as I do.

    Choosing to stay away from the garbage, Neal

  • “Fear not”

    December 4, 2025

    I don’t know about you, but it sure enough feels like full blown winter to me. Eight degrees at 4:30 this morning, the ‘ol furnace can’t seem to take a breath, he’s constantly running.

    The other day, I and some other fellers sorted and penned a little over a hundred head of bulls. Working with them in the alley, there was only one yearling that thought he should snort at some of the boys. He took a fair run at a group of them, sending each of them for cover. Meanwhile, I was standing up the alley some thirty feet, when he turned and headed my direction at a full run!

    I stepped over by the fence and gave him plenty of room to get buy. The boss of the operation kind of scolded me for not climbing out of the alley when Mr. Bull went charging by. I could tell by looking at the little feller, he was way more afraid than he was mad. Sometimes pen-raised bulls get squirrely when all of a sudden, they are in situation where they find themselves all alone, not that much different than people.

    People can be easily frightened when they find themselves in a stressful situation all by themselves. Alone and afraid is usually not a very good situation to be in. I figure that is why God told Joshua, the now lone leader of Israel, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.”

    The word “tremble,” used here in the New American Standard Translation, littrely means to be “terrified”. That was the look in that little bulls eyes the other day, he was terrified. I have seen that look in the eyes of humans as well, and just like the young bull, that kind of fear is usually read by others as anger. Which by the way, unless something or someone brings calm into the situation, anger is the very next step in this progression. That is why God told Joshua, “I am with you.”

    In Joshua 1:9 we find a second important word, “dismayed.” This is a stronger word, meaning “terror.” Terror is a fear so deep seated that it takes the heart out of a person and causes extreme anxiety and fear. Terror is usually the understanding that a person is in extreme danger and a realization of eminent death! And once again, God reminds Joshua that all is well because God is with him. That little bull wasn’t taking a run at folks because he was wanting to hurt someone, no, he was afraid that someone was going to hurt him.

    In Matthew 28:20, Jesus reminded His disciples as well of His constant presence with them. Why, because He knew that they were going to find themselves in situations when fear would take a run at them as well. The remedy for those first disciples, and for us today, is to realize that no matter the threat, Jesus is with us.

    So, what has you stirred up today? What are you afraid of? Remember, if you don’t deal with the fear, it will most likely turn into anger, and you too will most likely take a run at someone. So, before you get to that level, stop, breath, fix your eyes upon Jesus, and calm down. He’s right there with you, His words, not mine.

    Just like those first disciples, and just like Joshua, we can also be “strong and courageous” when we know that Jesus is with us! Remember, “trust and obey, for there is no other way.” It is truly amazing how Jesus can calm any storm, after we trust Him. You will recall that Peter trusted Jesus when Peter was sinking in fear, and the next scene of that story is Jesus in the boat with His disciples, bringing calm to the storm. I figure He can still do the same for us today!

    Realizing the presence of God and the peace of God with you, Neal

  • Just a taste!

    December 3, 2025

    The weather man says it is 28 degrees right now, the high will be around 29 with a stiff north/west wind. That puts the wind chill around 17 degrees for a high, much fun!

    Yesterday, I spent my day working a bull sale for a neighbor. The bulls looked really nice, the crowd was large, and the sale was hot, inside the barn that is. It was just plain cold for most of the day outside though. With a stiff wind, lots of clouds, and a day of sorting bulls, it turned out to be a rather large day. Every now and then I was able to duck behind a barn or a windbreak to get out of the chilling wind. I was very grateful for those moments of refuge.

    Psalm 34:8 states, “O taste and see the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Here the psalmist invites us to “taste and see the Lord is good.” To “taste” literally means to “savor,” carrying the idea of really enjoying said taste. It’s like making a pot of your favorite homemade soup and having a “taste” after mixing and warming all of the ingredients. In tasting your soup you take a spoon full, let it sit a moment while tasting to allow all of the flavors to fill your mouth. That’s the idea here in Psalm 34, to “taste” is to allow all that “the Lord” is fill you with the same anticipation of a great meal that the taste of soup does, no more ingredients, now just someone to enjoy it with!

    Like your finished soup, the taste of the Lord reveals that He “is good.” All of the ingredients are present at just the right proportion to make a really good pot of soup, and an exceptionally “good” Lord! But here’s the kicker, the soup is made even better on a cold day. So, now look at verse 6, “The poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.” To walk with the Lord through a difficult day is like enjoying a bowl of delicious soup on a cold day, both just make you feel better.

    The latter portion of Psalm 34:8 tells us that to we are blessed when we take “refuge in Him.” The word “refuge” means to find shelter from adverse conditions. Like yesterday, the wind and the cold were tough to deal with, so that quick duck behind a windbreak provided that momentary shelter. However here in Psalm 34 we are led to believe that to take “refuge” in the Lord is not for just a moment, but for all of the storms of life.

    You see, today is even colder and winder than yesterday was. Today’s refuge is going to feel even better than yesterday’s shelter did. Why? Because the storm is worse today than it was yesterday. Once again, I say that the worse the storm of life is, the more enjoyable it is take shelter in the Lord. Knowing that He is going to protect you in the middle of any storm, brings an incredible peace to the Christ-follower.

    It’s like finishing that hot bowl (or two), of your homemade soup, you’re warm and satisfied as you melt into your chair. That is the picture the psalmist is painting for us, a person so satisfied in the Lord that we just melt into a comfortable place.

    When I got home yesterday afternoon, it felt really good to just sit in my favorite chair for a bit. Thanking the Lord for safety and strength during yesterday’s busy day. And now, I think I’ll sit with the Lord for just a bit longer before going out into today’s cold and windy weather.

    Enjoying our “good” Lord with you, Neal

  • He provides!

    December 2, 2025

    Will you look at that, it’s 23 degrees at 4:30 a.m.! With that as a starting point, we just might reach the predicted 41 for a high. The ‘ol bones will enjoy some warm.

    Yesterday morning, my dear friend Jowell was able to harvest a cow elk. What a blessing! We then spent the rest of the day and much of the night processing the beautiful gift of meat. Man, you talk about a long, hard day, but by God’s amazing grace Jowell will head back to South Dakota with meat for his family. Praise you Lord!

    In my mind, any time I’m allowed to help someone put meat in their freezer, it is a gift of God’s provision. Not only did He provide us with the energy to survive a BIG walk in the pursuit, He also provided a beautiful elk at the end of that walk. Then our Heavenly Father provided us with the ability, the energy and the equipment to get the meat ready to be a blessing to a beautiful young family! God is an amazing provider.

    Without God’s grace gifts of provision, we would all be sunk. Just put yourself in a hospital bed with a serious injury or illness and see how many things you get done on your own. Friend, if this day God provides you with ability and the energy, He has something that He wants to help you accomplish; praise Him for it and get to work!

    We tend to think of all of the things we “have to do today.” Yet without God’s provision of energy, time and intelligence, we are in serious trouble. All through the Bible people have known God as “the One who provides.” Perhaps we would do well to stop our business trying to make a living and just praise God that we are living and that He is constantly providing for our needs! Praise Him for His provision, for His protection, for His power working within and through us, and then praise God for His peace throughout our days on earth, and Hi peace for all of eternity!

    Praising our Provider with you, Neal



  • A special treat!

    December 1, 2025

    Good morning! It’s 1 degree at 3:30 a.m., headed for 34 with a fresh coat of snow. It looks like December is ready to snort in a feller’s flank!

    I have a little sister who is five years younger than I am. Sis was sure enough a cute little varmint when she was first handed to our crew. By the time she was three, Sis started going with dad and I to do the morning feeding. We always fed our cows cotton cake to help them keep their flesh during the extremely cold Wyoming winter.

    For whatever reason, Sis took a real liking to listening to the cows chew their cake. On a cold December morning like this one, we had a good foot of snow on the level and plenty of big drifts in the pastures, so a feller had to kind of pick his track while feeding. On this particular morning we had to drive back and forth a couple of times to make a track to scatter the cow cake in.

    But before we scattered the cake to the cows, I had to wrap Sis in an old blanket and sit her on the tailgate of the pickup. There, I dumped a half dozen pieces of cake in her lap, she picked up one chunk of it in her tiny little hand and waited with anticipation. There were two ‘ol cows who would walk up to her as she held out the prize of a piece of cotton cake, wrap their long tongue around her hand and gently take the offering from her without ever biting her tiny little fingers. Then as the ‘ol gal would stand there and eat her special treat, Sis would look at me and whisper, “Hear dem crunch!” Then she would hand the other cow a piece of cake and we would have to listen to her “crunch” as well. This was our morning ritual that would take several minutes before I could carry Sis back to the front of the pickup where she would warm-up once again while dad and I finished feeding.

    Yesterday in Sunday School it struck me that as the teacher I was the one holding out the cotton cake treats to the folks in the room. What a blessing it is to help others see the amazing treats in God’s word! I felt so small and insignificant in that room, kind of like a little girl setting on the tailgate handing out nuggets to her friends.

    It’s so fun to see those dear folks get excited about some of the treats the Holy Spirit was revealing to us. I was blessed to get to be in that room and listen to them “crunch” their spiritual food! May I ask, “Did you get your spiritual treat yesterday? How about today?” I’m of the opinion that each time we prayerfully open the Holy Scriptures, the Spirit of the Living God wants to hand us a special treat. I don’t know, maybe He too is thrilled to hear us “crunch?”

    Enjoying the treats of Scripture with you, Neal

  • Will you to see tomorrow?

    November 30, 2025

    Yesterday’s storm blew its way through our area before noon. Skys cleared and the temperature dropped to a -5 last night. Looking at a high of 19 today with a little more snow today. But tomorrow is forecasted to reach 33! Tomorrow could be a great day if we get to see it?

    Well, pull up your boots and get ready for another taste of winter as November 2025 bows out of existence. It sure is easy to take for granted that for each month that we live, there will be another one show up. An assumption that is not all that correct.

    You see my friends, at any time, our Heavenly Father could say that “enough is enough” and bring a sudden halt to the life of any person or even persons. According to this thing called the “web,” approximately 8,640 people will die in America today. That averages out to 352 deaths per hour! There are many Wyoming towns that could be completely wiped out any hour of the day according to that death toll. In fact, if you were to take 8,640 people out existence each day in Wyoming, the entire state would be dead in less than one week!

    So, if I have your attention now, please note how precious today is if you get to see the sunset tonight. If God should give each of us one more week, how amazingly kind of Him that will be. And if He should allow each of us to live one more month, “Oh Wow!” So perhaps we shouldn’t just say that November is gone because dates equal deaths and ours could take place at any moment.

    Now, let’s focus upon the real value of today. Today is an absolute gift from God! Remember my little adage, “Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is the only cash on hand, invest it wisely.” So my friend, how will you invest today wisely. You see, the word “wisely” is the real key here.

    If God gives each of us the gift of life through this day, we will all spend the day in some fashion, but how many will invest it wisely? According to the dictionary, our word means to “act with deep understanding.” How about it friend, do you have a little better understanding of just how special today can be when you realize that “This is the day the Lord has made, I shall rejoice and be glad in it!”?

    Please do not walk around kicking a beer can and grumbling. In the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” To “rejoice” is a “positive human condition,” according to Unger’s Bible Dictionary. The problem is that most of us allow our “condition” to happen to us and then we respond accordingly. To rejoice in the Lord carries the idea of recognizing the “condition” comes from the inside of a Christ-follower, and as such, we should respond with abounding joy! A joy that is not regulated by conditions because it comes from the Lord’s presence within our life.

    So “Rejoice!” Don’t just put on nice clothes and go to church. Put on a Christ-like attitude of rejoicing and then put on you go-to-town clothes and head for your local church with a smile on your face and joy in your heart. But be careful, such joy is extremely contagious. You just might get to infect someone who doesn’t know the joy of the Lord, yet! Visit with that person who appears to not be having a great day, be their sunshine. Or better yet, let the Son-shine through you so that others will see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven!

    Rejoicing in the Lord with you Today, Neal
