Proverbs 3:3-8: “Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In…

Transitions
As I read the latest Miracle Mountain Ranch Box Cross: Lew’s Lines article on transitions, I understood more how faithful God has been to me in the past six months since leaving the Ranch. As some of you know, my second year at the Ranch was also full of transitions, but the process of coming…
Rainbows
I spent all afternoon teaching riding lessons in an indoor arena, and when I walked out there was a brilliant full rainbow contrasted against dark clouds. The picture was taken from my phone, so its poor quality, but the sight was breathtaking. As I drove away, “into the rainbow,” I was overwhelmed by the understanding…
Off the Face of the Earth
This is the unbelievable story of 38 Jews who survived the Holocaust by living in a cave which now is known as the 10th longest cave in the world, hidden under a Ukrainian prairie. Its a remarkable story: http://www.aish.com/63053312.html

Just last week…

Faith is a Verb
“Where there’s no risk, there’s no faith; where there’s no faith, there is no power or joy or intimacy with God.” – Chip Ingram
Even the Little Things…
I know I sometimes question how much God cares about the little things. Things like…cellphones. I only mention this because I have a track record – nine cell phones in five years. Admittedly, I don’t want to say that God desires that I have a cell phone, or anything of the sort. However, God does…
