Blood Shed

In our struggle against sin we have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.

To get a jump on the 4th of July weekend I ran back home to check on the fam. All is well as far as I can tell. There was no use burning daylight though. So in typical Lungren fashion we hit the ground running.

Nothing spells freedom quite like a Wyoming sunrise.

I guess John Deere might be a close runner up.

We had to run up the Nowood because Dad lost his glove the last time he was there. Thanks St. Anthony.

While there we brought home this cute JD 350 that Dad acquired.

Mom had an all American meal waiting for us when we got home.

Dad turns 70 next week so we made him a photo book to commemorate the day.

You ain't no cowboy unless you have a ranch kitty.

To top off our weekend we ran up to the cabin on West 10 Cr.

Man down.

Lungren Brothers beef. It's whats for dinner.

...God bless the USA. Somewhere out there America is still alive and kicking. Nowhere is that more apparent than in Wyoming.

Lessons Learned

The purpose of God's testings are to strengthen us.

Cowboy Ride

Cowboys aren't born, they're discovered. And the best way to find our inner cowboy is on horseback. Wednesday, Lee and I ran up to Hulett to check on the herd. Honestly, I can't think of a more natural way to encounter the beauty of God and His providential care for us than working with land and critters.

We rounded up the 50+ herd of replacement heifers along with our 8 and pushed them to the north 40.

Of corse we found a crippled bull. I'm so glad I only run yearlings.

No ride is complete without fording the Belle Fourche.

When you run on the Raney place you always eat well. Might be on the exotic side, but always delicious.

Enjoy those crab legs Ol' Son.

Always wear your hat Lee. You've earned it. Whether it's pushing cows or not, you're discovering the inner freedom of the Catholic Cowboy Way. It's in all of us. We're son's before we're fathers. We're daughters before we're mothers. God bless America!
