“You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, who said these fiery words to a delegation of bankers in 1832:
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and [...]
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:7-8
We had us around 3/4 inch of rain this morning. Surprised me, I didn’t really expect it. At least not that much. But around noon [...]
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask for forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know your Word says, “Woe to those who call evil good” but that is exactly what we’ve done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

Fall has come in force here! As I write in early evening the temps are in the fifties, yesterday it was almost 90 above. Quite a change in a short time. I just fired up the outdoor wood furnace for the first time this season a bit ago because there will be no [...]
Around here we figure fall comes when September comes and today was around 90 with a strong south wind. A line of thunderstorms is entering Minnesota as I type from the Dakota’s and I can see the clouds to the west. They’re talking a little rain and then a big weather change. Tomorrow’s [...]
