Bliss Following

My son, 
is the the finals of the Michigan Open today.


It's a long way from shooting golf balls on our 40 acres.

Congrats son.  

All those years (from pre-school age, on) 
of golfing through Michigan's four seasons has paid off.



We're all proud of you~!

Until next time, dear friends.  Lord willing.

Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me


It's that time again.  


When we must spray the horses daily to protect them from fly bites.

Here's what we do:

Fill a spray bottle with the following...

1/3 Listerine (must have Lister, not the green mouthwash...)
1/3 Avon "Skin So Soft" original bath oil
1/3 Apple Vinegar

It works for us...and smells great.


What about you horse people?  

Does anyone use this too?  Or do you have another idea?

I'd love to hear it.

Until next time, dear friends.  Lord willing,

Sherry

Staying Quiet


I watched a video the other day, and it has haunted me ever since.

It was showing a runaway team at the 
1998 Michigan Great Lakes International Horse Pull in Lansing, Michigan.

Having a horse that is being trained to pull, I know what can happen.

But it wasn't the runaway situation that haunted me...it was the announcer.

The woman on the microphone reminded me of how the Holy Spirit works in my life.

While things are out of control at times, 
He reminds me to STAY QUIET...just like the announcer during the runaway fiasco.

See what you think, as you view the video below.

Does the Holy Spirit speak to you this way?



Until next time, dear friends.  Lord willing.

It's Time...

I remember what it was like to punch a time clock.

However, now that I'm officially "retired"...my days look a bit like this.


Have a wonderful weekend, folks.


Until next time, Lord willing.
