There was a time, when I thought my pastor did nothing. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I thought he was some guy with soft hand, listening to praise music while shut up alone in his house. Maybe he prayed while pacing the floor and on the one day of the week, when he...
I was laying out my clothes the night before, spurs on my boots, jeans, socks, and long sleeve shirt. Coffee was set for the 4 a.m. alarm, the trailer hooked and ready, horses in the pen. I pulled the covers up to my cheeks while my stomach churned within. I lay in...
Recently we finished a book, 30 Ways To A Confident Marriage, and it is printing, as I write this……whew whooo, excitement!!! We can’t believe it!! The book like I said before, is not perfect and from two imperfect people. We gathered information that was useful to our...
I will never forget the phone call…….my wife’s dad saying to show up at his house tomorrow, 6 a.m.. “We’re putting on a new roof!” No questions asked, nor did he ask if we had plans? Just a short order, military style demand, which...

I’m launching a Product Page on my website. Ever since I received my Nikon D40, as a gift for Mother’s Day about five years ago, I have been taking pictures. I have dabbled with the idea of releasing some of my photos to sell. The other day during the...
Have you ever needed a big broom to sweep off your truck? We had brought almost everything with us on our 25th wedding anniversary, but big broom to sweep off the truck was not on our list. We had packed for the NFR, we had packed for hiking and a visit with friends....
We have witnessed I dos horseback, on mountain peaks, on the border, on the coast, in the rain, on ranches, on New Year`s Eve, in the desert, in 106 degrees and even one surrounded by Texas Rangers. We have seen bread ties for rings, one wedding reception where...
