Good morning everyone I want to apologize for not getting my devotion out yesterday we have been so busy and now we have more babies foal so that 3 now we have 2 fillies and 1 colt. An we made it past another Monday so lets give thanks to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving us another day, and I hope God bless you all today. So the devotion this morning has been on my heart for a few days now and I think it is something we all can relate to at one point in our lives and I believe many still do.

 Good afternoon everyone. I hope that God blesses you all on this beautiful Saturday. Tomorrow we are starting a brand new, month-long journey together called "Trails to Calvary," and I want to make sure we are all ready for the ride. Its already been a long day for me with doing stalls and helping out trimming all the horses feet today, and its still not over but I am taking my lunch time to write this devotion before I head back out to work.

As we all know out on the working ranch, before you ever saddle up…

Good morning everyone hope everyone is having a blessed week in the Lord. God bless you all on this beautiful Thursday morning. I am still working in the barn thats why I am late getting this out, but I am so incredibly thankful for another day to be above ground and serving the Lord.

Out here on a working ranch, the day starts early. When a good ranch hand wakes up, he does not sit on the porch waiting for the boss to bring him breakfast or ask what the ranch is going to do for him that day. He puts…

 Good Morning Family, lets give thanks to the Lord for another day and may the Lord bless you in all that you do today. Im sorry I didn’t get my devotion out yesterday we have been so busy with the horses and the Ranch that I have not had a chance to get it out. But this morning I want to talk about something that happens on almost every working ranch at some point. Sometimes, you have a really good ranch hand who just gets restless. He decides he is tired…

 Good morning everyone. God bless you all on this beautiful morning as we give thanks to the Lord for another day. I want to start by thanking every single one of you for your prayers yesterday. By the grace of the Great Physician, my surgery went wonderfully, and I am rested and recovering at home but work at the ranch never stops so today I am back at it nobody said cowboying was easy just like being a Christian is not easy this is something we must remind ourselves everyday.

While I was resting yesterday, it got me thinking about how things work out in the pasture. Out in the wild, or even out in…

 Good morning everyone. God bless you all on this Tuesday morning. We made it past Monday and we are into a new week this morning I want to talk about how the devil trys to trap you. When you run a working ranch, putting the saddle on and moving the cattle is only half the job. A good cowboy also has to spend a lot of time riding the perimeter and checking the wire. You have to ride the fence line, looking for broken posts, sagging wire, or places where a tree branch might have fallen and created a gap. If you leave a gap in…

 Good morning everyone I hope you all enjoyed the Sunday Cowboy Bible Message, God bless you all for the support and prayers especially when I was sick this weekend. But by the grace of our Loving God we have made through, and we are now on this Beautiful Monday morning. Yesterday, during our Sunday Morning Cowboy Bible Message, we talked about accepting the saddle. We talked about how God calls us out of the wild, puts a calling on our lives, and how we have to stop bucking and let Him tighten the cinch so we can go to work.

A brand new saddle looks absolutely beautiful sitting on a rack in the…

 Good morning everyone. God bless you all. I am feeling a little under the weather this morning, but we still have to give thanks to the Lord and trust in him. The Lord laid a heavy message on my heart that I think we all struggle with at some point in our lives maybe some more than others. One of the heaviest burdens we carry as believers is what I like to call the devils trap of comparing ourselves to other Christian families. It is so easy to look around and feel like you are failing. To our eyes, it seems like everyone else has their…

People who work a city job get excited about Friday at five o'clock. They punch a time clock, go home, and put their feet up or get ready for the weekend and…
