I remember getting ready early in the morning to go to the field. Hooking up the equipment was always a process. It required getting the hole in the tractor hitch and the hole in the equipment hitch lined up perfectly. So many times, I thought I had it lined up only to discover after I …

Right Where He Wants Me
When I think on Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God” this is my imagery. It is the security & peace that only comes from being in my Heavenly Father’s lap. We overcomplicate & overthink the most precious part of life. All His Promises…all His Ways…everything leads to this. “…He has given …
3 Nameless Heroes…
I never knew their names, yet they shaped my attitude & my future. Today, one of the most common phrases I hear is,” I just don’t have time now.” or “When I get caught up, I’ll try.” Priorities…Choices. We all have them. We all chose. God, the great orchestrator of life, brought me into something …
Hang On…
On July 25th I noticed this limb hanging in midair. On August the 17th the limb was still hanging in midair, even after 40mph winds from the previous night. There the limb hung by a tiny spider web. A tiny, insignificant creature God created. Think about this. We marvel at what people make & do …

It’s just facts. Close does not count. It was around 2 AM when the bright idea struck me. For hours I had been trying to …
Pop Test…
Remember that sinking feeling when your teacher said, “We are going to have a Pop Test today”? Usually the response was, “that’s not fair” or “we didn’t know” but, in reality, we knew we were not prepared. And that is the purpose of the “Pop Test” …for us to stop kidding ourselves. The fact is, …
If You Have Never Gone Hunting Or Fishing…
It begins with being "invited". It's personal. The invitation comes from the heart to share a special experience. The experience found in the quiet, still moments of sitting on a stand or in the boat. Many times the experience begins before daylight...getting into position. It is in those special moments you hear sounds you have …
