                Good Sunday morning folks. I am always excited for Sunday for that is the Lords day. OK OK they're all the Lords day and we should treat all the days the same and give Glory to God every day and not just on one particular day.                 Today the Lord has put it on my heart to study Joshua 1:8 - 9. So come on in and join me shall you.  This is the Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong , and of good courage; do not be afraid,nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.  Praise God !!! If that is not inspiring , I don't know what is . As it says in John, For God so loved the world he gave his only son , so whosoeve...

 Well good morning everyone , as promised I am going to share my daily devotional every day with everyone its just something that God has called me to do. In fact I fully believe in my heart that he calls us all to spread his word to anyone and everyone who has a heart to hear it .           So here is what I take from this scripture, it's not enough to know that we have accepted Gods son Jesus into our hearts . We must fully have a true conversion in our hearts and lives to fully want to serve him. We also must fully trust in his plan for our lives. And we must fully, truly have a heart to serve him.           We must go to him daily or in most cases throughout the day to him and have that relationship with him. Just like we do with our earthly father down here. We must talk to him constantly, we must thank him for all and I mean ALL he does for us in our lives. EVERYTHING!!! Everything he does we must always And I mean A...

I am not a huge fan of blanketing horses myself. Horses in my opinion can survive just fine with the fluffy , natural fur coat that the good Lord gave them. Of course that being said, if you and your horse just moved from somewhere like Arizona to somewhere like say Missouri or Maine, yea a blanket in that situation may be a necessity. So the general rule of thumb is if your horse is standing out in its stall or pasture and has snow on its back , then it has an adequate winter coat to sufficiently keep itself warm. If the snow on your horses back is melting, that simply means its coat isnt thick enough to retain the body heat and its escaping. At which time I would...
