Be Strong & Courageous

The other day my reading and scripture study time took me to the story of Joshua. There's much to say on this story but in the first chapter of the book of Joshua the phrase "Be Strong and Courageous" is said three times to Joshua from God as Joshua was chosen to lead the Jewish, … Continue reading Be Strong & Courageous

New Experiment

One thing you might see here is I like trying stuff. I noticed a few weeks ago a sprouted plant coming up from my house foundation, I believe it is a rose. For most of the time we've lived in this house there's been tall shrubs growing on this end of our house but we … Continue reading New Experiment

Upcoming Series: Game Cameras

Today's post will be a quick update on something I'll be posting more about in November, Game Cameras. I've got four out right now. These cameras are not on a bait pile as is done a lot times but on trails so I'll give them about a month before going to check on them. I'd … Continue reading Upcoming Series: Game Cameras

Where I Come From

One of those influences is just as this theme of Friday posts says, Muddy Water and Cypress Trees. I'm thankful to have been raised … Continue reading Where I Come From

The Brake

In college my friend Blake introduced me to an area in the delta he called the brake. We probably spent too much time over there! I never know what I'll see. The other day I drove through the area and did get a few photographs. I was on my way to the Mississippi Levee to … Continue reading The Brake

Moments Of Influence

I've mentioned before how messages that I need in life seem to repeat. What I thought the other day was the key point hit me this morning as a part of it. There are moments in my life of influence both good and bad but looking back the moments have shaped me in who I … Continue reading Moments Of Influence

Callaway Crabapple

Back in July I posted on my Callaway Crabapple tree. The tree is about 4 years old I think. This is the second year it has had fruit with this year being more fruit than last year. Of the other fruit trees I planted at the same time this tree is the only one to … Continue reading Callaway Crabapple

Two Years

I did not realize it had been two years until my wife reminded me the other day. Two years ago at the end of September after being in the hospital for about three months I finally got to come home. Oh the journey it has been! The day two years ago was special. Oh the … Continue reading Two Years

More From Grand Lake

For this morning's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees Post I'll post some more pictures I took at Grand Lake while watching the Roseate Spoonbills. I saw quite a few birds on this trip. If you're a birder then I recommend you head down to Grand Lake at Eudora, AR. I'm really thankful I got to … Continue reading More From Grand Lake

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill (Finally Part 10)

I've been chasing Roseate Spoonbills since August. I wish I had kept track of the miles. Well, in this week's post on the journey I have finally seen some! I was looking on the eBird site for the date of the latest sighting and to see if I should attempt it that week. I saw … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill (Finally Part 10)
