Billy has ARRIVED!

Today was a very big day for two little girls (and one not so little, Aimee!).

Billy has arrived at the Blessed Life Ranch. He was a little anxious so the previous owners brought Dixie to keep him company for awhile until he gets use to us and the BLR. He is a Welsh pony and beautiful in every way. Gentle-natured, well-broke, and the color of Aimee's hair.

Well, he is just about perfect!

Run to Jesus in the storms of life!

Make no mistake: the storms of life come to us all. Some experience devastating loss for which there seems to be no explanation. Others may live with chronic pain or disability. Some endure the hardships of financial meltdown while others suffer through the agonies of a faithless spouse. Parents pray with groaning for a wayward child and many know the sting of a faithless friend.

I told someone recently (someone who is in the valley of affliction) that there seems to me to be only one answer when these storms of life assail us: Run to Jesus. Run. He will help you carry the load, indeed, He will carry you and the load. The Everlasting Arms will be your comfort and you can safely hide under the shadow of His wings. There just doesn't seem to be any other option for me as a Christian. I must run to Jesus in the storms of life and only there will I find the strength for each day...no matter what it brings.

So if you're looking for me, I am either running to Jesus or ...... running to Jesus!

Sunset on a beautiful Minnesota lake.
Thank you Bruce and Peggy for allowing us those splendid days at your lake home! They even got Grandma to go tubing. More fun than a person ought to have!
