Cleanliness Of Heart Is Most Important

Spring cleaning is done in the fall. Well, not exactly, but autumn is the time we spruce up the ranch. That’s in contrast to the majority, evidently, yet October is the month we have a crowd gather at our place. So, we want it to look at least respectable enough that they don’t make too […]

Society’s Demands Can Be Overpowered

Modern technology has won again. Twice in the last two decades we have been forced to “bite the bullet” and bow to the ways of society. While many are pleased to be on the edge of technology and new-fangled gadgets of the world, we have always taken pride in sticking to traditional methods, or “the […]
