from our tribe to yours in January

Well we had heard that this would be a cold winter and it has been so true. The coldest and snowiest I ever remember. I wonder what that could mean. All too often the spiritual things are reflected in the natural around us. could it be that people’s hearts are growing cold? Could it be that the political scene is catching up with us? Could it be that the Lord is holding back, waiting for us to call out to Him? It could be many things. I don;t watch TV so I have no idea what the mainstream TV preachers are saying and I am really not interested. What I am interested in is what the Lord is saying to His everyday, basking in His presence, not wanting to be seen average person. What is He saying to you and me? I see folks become distant from Him. The farther you get from the light, the colder it is. I see folks becoming way too comfortable with compromise. I see less hunger. I see danger ahead for us as a country. Prayer and not being afraid to speak His Word is the only thing that will make a difference.

I will follow

As many of you know we live on a horse farm. Well we usually cut, rake, bale and put up our own hay. It is time consuming but costs almost nothing that way. But we do have to feed hay twice a day that way. When we get near the end of the season or when it is really bad weather we put out hay rolls which amounts to an all you can eat buffet for our horses. Horses truly do eat like horses. It is amazing when fed like that they really become gluttons. It is not unreasonable for them to forget all about us and us not see them for days. After they have stuffed themselves they will actually lay down in it. The stronger ones will boss over the younger ones just to get what they want. Funny thing is is that even though they have all they want it isn’t as good quality as the stuff we feed from the barn. I mentioned to one of my daughters that I doubted her horse would come up to the gate for grain or to be brushed. She said something so profound.

When she hears my voice she will come, she will follow me anywhere, she loves me.

Wow, I wonder how many of us God can say that about. Wouldn’t you love to be known for that trait? That you follow His voice anywhere. How often do we? Follow Him that is.

Why is that, why do so few of us follow His voice. we recognize it, we know it is His. Yet just like most of our horses we are too busy stuffing ourselves with what we want, trying to get it before the next guy. Gluttoning our flesh with our own desires, the things of this world. All the while Jesus desires to give us something better, something even more fulfilling than what we think is the best. So it is really up to us. We can glutton on the stuff in the field, or we can harken to His voice and get the best from His barns.

Behind bars

Everywhere we look it is a new season. The men who had been leading worship at the prison have been either released or transferred. The schedule changed in the county jail and actually the whole system changed. We never know how many times we will be allowed to walk through an open door. We must be grateful for every opportunity. Please remember these men behind bars. Please pray for them daily. This ministry is one of the most fruitful there is.

in closing, needs and prayer requests,

Well I guess the economic times have hit everyone, we are usually well supported at the end of the year even if not much during the year. This year has really been lacking, your prayers are greatly appreciated. Jesus is always faithful.

We love you as always
