Riding Herd

With a little time on our hands, Gerry and I decided to go check on the cows. You'd think being in the mountains it'd be cooler. But the Belle Fourche is the lowest point in the state. Therefore, 90 degrees in this Hills is pretty common. 

The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a horse.

John Raney got a few round bales this year. If you can't graze all that grass you might as well bale it.

Gerry brought his fishing pole along to conquer another Wyoming river. 

Mission accomplished. 

The cows won at John's place. We never found them. We found them at Joe's though. Looking fat and happy as usual. 

The laborer deserves his wage. 

It's always good to get out of Dodge. Resets a guys perspective. All the critters look good. I'm sure the eight cows we could't find at John's are fine. We just got out cowboyed is all. Nothing a little ice-cream can't fix though. God bless America. We're on to the next one. 

Responsibility of Faith

Faith is a gift that requires responsibility on our part once it's received.

Openness

We can do nothing without God's grace. Therefore, stay open to it. Also, it was Jeremiah not Isaiah!

Rude

Our Lord isn't rude. He's serious. We cannot love anything more than God.

Happiness

God is the author of our happiness. It's probably worth following Him.

Hot Iron

Gerry has been spending the last two weeks up at the Kuhbacher Ranch in Montana. We topped off his fortnight with a late season branding.

If your gonna brand in mid July you better start early.

Mike got us all lined out before we split up to round up.

Gerry is old hat on this nice buckskin.

Step breaks. I'd take a horse over a dirt bike any day.

Cool country with cool old cars.

Once the 400 head was rounded up we stampeded them into the corrals. 

Then it was time to ranch. I played it safe by wrestling. 

Jason got Gerry lined out. 

No problem. 

Here's to you America. 

Special thanks to Jason and Boni for hosting our up and coming cowboy. He's well on his way. The Lord played some special cards to line us up a branding this late in the game. Super hot and super fun. Now we're on to the next one. 

Non-contradiction

We need a solid philosophy before we can do good theology.

Confident

Confidence comes from experience.

Senses of Scripture

There's two: literal and spiritual. The spiritual is broken into the allegorical (not the analogical), the moral, and the anagogical.
