A Bump (or two) in the Trail

As this past week unfolded into the weekend, two things have now occurred.

Young Jordan's stay with us has now come to a close.

We, along with the animals, will miss him and wish him well.

And two, 

Russ is on crutches, resulting from his big horse, Raz,

tripping and falling (rolling) on his leg during his Sunday morning ride.

A long evening at ER confirmed no broken bones. 

Thank you God~!!.

However, lots of pain, swelling and bruising.

 So stay tuned, as we truly... 

Count it all Joy.

 

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers,

whenever you face trials of many kinds,

because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,

not lacking anything."

James 1:2-4



One Week Ago

Joplin, MO

If that still, small voice is nudging you to act, one week later,

here's how.

Franklin Graham, son of Reverend Billy Graham, created Samaritan's Purse.

I met Franklin's sister, Ruth, a week ago...

Please hear Franklin Graham's plea.

Samaritan's Purse.

And the crowds asked him,

“What then shall we do?”

And he answered them,

“Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none,

and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

Luke 3:10-11

Thoughtless Thursday
