Faith

Body Sometimes, bad days are a blessing in disguise, but you don’t know it at the time. I have learned that whenever I have a bad day, it is not a time to get discouraged or sad.

Body Years ago… I received an email from my friend John Gooch saying he’d just returned from a team roping event in Athens, Texas. “While I stood with hundreds of others for the invocation, I realized that this was one sport that has always begun with a prayer,” he said.

Body I had been thinking about, a certain little tree, that grew in my front yard. I decided that I would go and check it out.

Body When it comes to games, I am not a good player. I lose more times than I win, and I can’t remember the last time I won.

Body Nighttime has its magical appeal when the deep blue sky is lit by millions of stars… million of miles apart. I love how some glisten, some twinkle, and some sparkle like the notes of a harp caressing the wavy wind. Their lights embellish the bluish ness of azures.

Body I have loved mountains since I first saw them. I admire the mountain pictures posted on Facebook. My brother in law and most of his family have just been to Colorado. They played in the snow, rode sleds, and did a number of other fun things in that white stuff.

Body Many things in life can be rather dangerous. For me, the most dangerous things in my life are thoughts.

Body Years ago after working in the garden and piddling in my gun shop, I came in to check my email. As I was reading it, I noticed a fly had flown into my half-filled glass of water. He was one of the bad ones (the green ones)…the kind that hang around carcasses and filth.

Body I must confess that I do have a liking for critters of all kinds. I enjoy feeding them out on the back porch, and boy, do they come hungry for their treats.

Body I planned to attend a home going, grave side service, that day. But, I didn’t know; where it was located.
