It’s Sunday morning, cloudy sky, stormy in the area with weather lurking. I just walked next door to see if Janet needed help. I can do little things. Open a can of cat food. Cut up a pineapple. Thursday, Janet was lugging a full garbage can of garden debris, walking backward, tripped on a jutting brick, and broke her right arm. Yesterday our Bone Doctor set her break and put it in a cast. All of us women on the rancho are enamored of our Bone Doctor. He’s the man who fixed my hip. He’s more than just a pretty face. He works and teaches at Un...
You know, Lord, T’was a special time of remembrance to a be part of a group of older folks, who shared about a recent ‘trip’ they’d taken which brought back memories of long ago. While on their outing/tour, one mentioned that long ago, maybe when she was in college, there had been a spiritual week and the Bible verse that was so very special was from Psalms 143:5-6, which was: “I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all Your works and consider what Your hands have done. I spread out my hands to You; I thirst for You like a parched l...

Back when I was in high school, and, yes, that was an eye-rolling long time ago, I eagerly awaited the day when the weekly Harlem News was delivered to the mailbox, a mile down our driveway. We also received the daily GF Trib, but that was not as fun to read as the local. Based on my own self, I’m confident that Everybody read Every Article, front headlines to back page sales ads. I might modify that to Almost Everybody read Every Article, since, after all, I read cereal boxes if nothing else was available. (Books were not allowed at the m...

Out our way the trail drive is largely a thing of the past, but come branding, shipping and moving pastures, some remnants remain. As many of you know, the main positions for the cowhands are POINT, SWING, and DRAG. Those riding “drag” are the “dust eaters” - the least skillful riders who ride in the rear and keep the herd moving. Coming into the sorting corrals after a long drive, “Point” leads the way, “Swing” keeps the herd together - then comes the herd itself…and eventually, far in the rear often hidden by the dust kicked up by the...
Please read Matthew 5–7. I was talking with a friend the other day who asked me, “Why don’t Christians follow Jesus’ teachings and act like Him?” My first response is always that many of us are working on following Jesus. Yes, we fall short, but with God’s help, we are getting closer to what Jesus taught and modeled for us. My second response is, “I have no clue.” When I read the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), there are a few directions I think we, at times, struggle to follow. There are also times when we, as Christians, have a double stan...
You know, Lord, T’was fun chatting with folks, recently. One gal, Ms. Penny, chatted about her last month’s calendar page; she was amazed that a few of her neighbors and some of her kin folks, were already 70 years old. She said, since she was a teenager, she’d always loved sending cards, visiting OR even calling those listed, to wish them a Happy Birthday. She giggled when Sally, sitting near us, looked a bit shocked. ‘Could you possibly have done all that since you were a teenager?’ Sally asked. “Well, of course. I really liked verse 10 in...

The other day I found a moth clinging above my screen doorknob. I was in and out the door frequently. The moth hung out all day, swinging with the door. The thing was huge, the size of my palm. It was the most beautiful moth I’ve ever seen and one I’d never seen previously. Ms. Moth was plum colored and when her wings were widespread, she displayed a cor-al/orange oval on the inside spread. Toward the end of the afternoon, Leo dropped by to see if I needed anything from town. I showed him the moth. He took a photo and sent it to my gra...
