I used to ride my horse for hours exploring the land on my farm and looking for whitetail deer sign or just exploring. I had one fine horse named Dusty that I rode most often. He was a pleasure to ride, and his Tennessee Walker gait was as smooth as they come. One day we rode for almost the entire day, and after an hour or two he seemed bored silly. I noticed he looked drowsy, and his eyes were half closed as he walked along. This went on for a while and suddenly he tripped and almost fell and and when he did, he took off running like the wind . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/12/lazy-bones/

I’m most concerned about the influx of Muslim’s into our country. The open border allows anyone to easily cross our border and with no controls, checks, or monitoring it is only a matter of time until there is a car bomb or other similar attack. In NYC they already are shutting down the Christmas parade and lighting, major throughways, Grand Central station, closing classes at institutions of higher learning, and so on. For the most part these people hate Christians and most especially Jewish people or anyone who does not adhere to their belief system . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/12/muslim-hate/

Like a dimwit I watched part of the debate with DeSantis and Newsome last night. It is amazing to me that statistics are put on the screen and Newsome simply said they are all a lie. I mean the sales tax is recorded for all to see just like the number of people leaving the state, or state income tax comparisons. These are just facts and yet the politicians just pretend like they don’t exist. I wasn’t going to watch the debate. I figured it would be exactly as it was, a pack of lies, but my Bible study partner had convinced me to watch it. I cannot believe I fell for it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/12/give-me-a-break-3/

A friend of mine was killed on a motorcycle while riding to a Bill Glass Prison Ministry event. The last time I saw him, he and I were visiting inmates on death row together in Huntsville Texas. We were accompanied by a lady from Colorado and her husband. She sang songs to the inmates and my friend, the director of Texas prisons, and I spoke to the inmates about Jesus and eternity. Nine inmates with dates already set for their executions made decisions for the Lord that day . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/wouldnt-you-want-to-know/

A good friend of mine had to euthanize his cat yesterday. He loved that old cat and vice versa and it is heart breaking to hear him trying to choke back tears and try to describe how much he will miss it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/goodbye-feline/

I have a friend who used to talk to me about his aging mother in a disparaging manner. In fact, I’ve had bird dogs that would break on point that didn’t get maligned as badly as he talked about his mom. Sometimes in listening to him I wondered if he might consider buying a shock collar for her for Christmas . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/mean-nasty-old-mom/

Well today is my birthday. I’m 77 years old and I find it very hard to believe. I did not think I would live to be 25, but I made it over three times that age. And it goes so quickly, I’m amazed . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/happy-birthday/

Recently a few of my friends have told me that they are worried sick about the condition of the world. It is full of violence, wars, immorality, cold-hearted people, and mayhem. So what are folks so worried about? It is the time when Jesus returns to earth to take us out of the mess we got ourselves into. What is not to like about that? . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/ahhh-peace/

What do you think of when the Thanksgiving holiday rolls around? Turkey and dressing, family gatherings, time off from work, deer hunting, vacations? That is usually what comes to my mind . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/thanks-for-the-push/

His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian while attending college. Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, ultra- conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but aren’t sure how to go about it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/11/the-deacon/
