The other day I found myself feeling a little low, a little down in the dumps. The problem is, I was enjoying the feeling, to some extent. The next problem is that I found it so dag gone hard to maintain the slump. We don’t come with an instruction manual so I figure it is high time somebody writes one. ***This does not apply to real depression. Depression is a serious matter. For real depression, see your doctor. Please. One of my friends said, “It’s your bio-rhythm. Wait...

Isaiah 30:21 - "And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears shall hear a Voice behind you saying, 'This is the way! Walk in it!'" Out our way there are few things more fascinating to me than the skills of a good cutting horse. I have attended rodeos, horse shows and even a few brandings where the amazing feats of a quality cutting horse have been demonstrated - and I am impressed. As you know, the cutting horse approaches a herd, a cow or calf is selected, and...
(Read the Book of Jonah) Sin runs rampant in society - daily headlines and overflowing prisons bear dramatic witness to that fact. With child abuse, pornography, serial killers, mass shooters, terrorism, hate groups, racial hatred, extremist groups, corrupt elected leadership, poor leadership, anarchy, and ruthless dictatorships, you add to the list, the world seems to be filled to overflowing with violence, hatred and corruption. Reading, hearing and perhaps even...
You know, Lord, we all know we're born to die, but when that happens to our family, friends or loved ones, sometimes it just takes us by surprise. Just heard that an elderly mom slipped away. Some families were near, others were not yet able to get there. We/they know that You, Lord, will come again, but not to deal with our sins. We also know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love the Lord and are fitting into His plans. Later, friends chatted about...

The Montana Grizzlies did their job. Say what you want about winning ugly, but if you don’t believe a win is a win in football, or any sport for that matter, than you’re just letting idiotic bias get in the way of reality. So I’ll say it again. The Griz did their job. They won their two hardest road games of the season when, in the last two weeks, they beat nationally ranked UC Davis and nationally ranked Idaho on the road. And no, haters don’t have the right to call either...
