  • Looking out my backdoor: An honest love

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jul 14, 2023

    Every day brings its own. Its own what? I can give that sentence a thousand different objects. It’s more fun to leave it open. Use your imagination. Last night brought rain. I love lying in bed listening to the rainfall ping on the roof, plop on the potted palm outside my bedroom window. Rain thuds on the thick, waxy avocado leaves, barely makes a sound on the oleander. Rain, heavenly rain. Finally rain comes to us, not a lot, not with sturm and drang, but rain comes, l...

  • Out Our Way: "Check the brand, not the breed

    Updated Jul 14, 2023

    Zechariah 2:1-11 - "Many nations shall join themselves to the Lord on that day and shall be My people; and I will dwell in your midst." Out our way, ranchers often start with one breed of cow in their herd, but over time they may add other breeds and mixes - but they all wear the same brand (and/or same ear tags). Big Mike started with red Angus, but over time he added Charolais and a few mixed breeds as he built up the herd. Charlie and I rode fences and checked the herd...

  • Pastors Corner: Children and an entitlement mentality

    Updated Jul 14, 2023

    "Anyone who robs father and mother and says, 'So what's wrong with that?'" is worse than a pirate.

Now the Bible teaches that children have a unique responsibility to honor their parents (see Exodus 20:12) and even to reciprocate their parents' generosity as Mom and Dad age.

    Updated Jul 14, 2023

    You know, Lord, a friend shared her silly July calendar page, with chuckles, plus some good thoughts. She mentioned that they, and we, had just missed "Fried Chicken Day." She was surprised to know that sliced bread was first sold in 1928! "Goodness sakes," she said, "Why didn't grandma tell Mama so that we'd know that?" We chuckled. Then her son stepped up and asked, "What else is on that page, besides probably the full moon?" He snickered, grabbed the calendar page and...
