Lord we need you. I pray you would sweep over our
nation and cast out the the darkness which creeps in and tells us it is good. Only you offer the light and goodness which we should bask in. Please bring healing to the injured spirits of our citizens and open our hearts to Your teachings. I pray You give sound judgement to all in the days to come. Please forgive our nation for our misguidings and have mercy on us. In the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.

Making Good on a Promise …

When RC was 19 years old, I had taken him in for a dental at the Equine Dental School. The student working on RC that day was a beautiful young vet from Switzerland. As she told me RC had very little tooth left and would likely not be able to eat regular forage within a few years, she told me about the great number of complete feeds I would have to be getting for him. I told her RC wasn’t allowed to “get old.” She again stated that horses did well on complete feeds even without teeth. Realizing she believed I was going to put RC down before I had to feed him extra, I was quick to assure her, “I will chew his food before I say goodbye to my dear RC.”

Fast forward eight years, and for want of a pocket knife, I used my teeth to cut up my dear ‘ol RC’s carrot. With fewer days ahead of him than behind, I have made good on my promise. Now to make good on my promise of an easy transfer to the other side.

Kids need their Dad’s even when the kids become adults. Today we celebrate all the Dads who can be called on at anytime to be that “stand by you” guy we all need. Happy Father’s Day.

🤭So here’s a funny from the ranch. I went in to the county Planning and Zoning office this week with the subdivision application. They thought my name looked familiar. Turns out they’ve been trying to get the house number street sign to me, but the letter telling me about it was returned to them citing no such address. Two years ago!. 🤣 They created the address! 😂 Please pray for our family subdivision to come to fruition. 🙃

After nearly three years I finally unpacked my CD player and CDs. 💿 I am on cloud 9. Finally, I can listen to my music with no commercials. Old school is still the best!

Rumor is that there will be snow tomorrow. Better enjoy this while I can. ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day Travis

A young lady asked me a couple days ago, “What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?” I replied that I had no plans as I would be alone She was compelled to tell me how sad that was and she hadn’t found anyone special either. I was quick to explain: “No, I’ve had the same Valentine for 35 years now. He won’t be home on the 14th, but we celebrate whenever we want.” I wouldn’t want it any other way. Love you Trucker Trav. We’ll celebrate all week long when you get home ❤️

So excited! 😆 We got a washer and dryer! We got the Maytag Pet Pro series hoping to get all the 🐕 and 🐴 hair out of our clothes. Not sure what to think of this “Note” in the Quick Start Guide. 🤪 For reals people have to be told this?

Hell’s Bells! What are some this in the middle of winter! Just a few days out from-23 degree nights. It can’t be, it just can’t be. I did just get into some straw bedding which I haven’t touched in about five weeks. Maybe that’s where it came from. Well, it’s not biting. Not living any more either.

It has been some time since I’ve posted updates. We’ve just been extremely busy finishing up the apartment and getting all the systems working and doubled up. We are still off grid and making it work. You can’t imagine the learning curves. I will be posting updates soon. For now, in light of the challenges we are all facing due to the unexpected amount of snow we are all receiving, please allow me to share one of the things which keeps me going.

Daily I ask God for help. I pray for him to give me the strength and fortitude to press on to a better future for my kids and grandkids knowing that what I do today will make a difference for them. Not just feeding and caring for the animals they enjoy, but building a homestead site they will benefit from. God does give me the strength and sometimes He says hello. I see it when I look at all the beauty around me. Yesterday, He shared in an unexpected way.

You see God does most things in 7s. He made the earth and rested on the 7th day, He sent the 7 plagues in Mose’s time, and many more 7s are written about in scripture. He also works in 3s. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Birth, Life, and Death. God, Husband, and Wife are just some examples. Well, God sends us all answers in ways personal to ourselves.

I have had to idle the pickup much more than usual the past couple days as I have spent hours plowing snow and breaking ice for the critters. There have been moments when I just didn’t want to do another task. In one of these moments, I retreated to the cab of the pickup and received a “hello” on the dash.

Perhaps only having meaning to me, but here is what I read. The miles (77.7) have been done within God’s plans. The miles to go (333) can be done with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And with God, all things are possible (7.3). Tell me, what are some of the messages you receive. I know God talks to us all.
