Wow, I am actually stopping for a moment to start a Blog... Never saw it coming!! Let me introduce the purpose of these ramblings and why I found it prudent to take a left hand turn from my normal day-to-day. It has been my observation over the last couple years that I have become an dinosaur... Let me explain, I am a born again Christian who proclaims that Jesus Christ died on the cross as the propitiation (Romans 3:25)for my sin and I am justified by my faith alone(Romans 5:1-9)- which is God given, I am also a "young" cattleman in a sea of "old" cattleman who have very few behind them to fill their shoes, and I am a man struggling in life to grasps those things of TRUE value and not WORLDLY value. When I compile these traits into a stereotype, that seems to knock out 99.9% of the population (from my vantage point). With that said, why go the way of the Doe-Doe bird?? Why not go with the crowd and take the road most traveled?? AH HA!! It is my intention to tell you from time to time why I am like I am and allow you a view into the mindset of someone such as myself (from a safe distance) and to share the word of our Lord God with you !!
A couple of things to take note of... #1. My writing "style" may come off as being elementary to you-- That's for good reason --It is!! I dare not do this for popularity or to make myself a false cyberspace image of being different than I am in real life.. #2 I was told by blogging officials to keep these post short and consistent. Let me be brief (LOL). I am long winded, I explore every avenue of a topic I feel pertinent and the only thing consistent about me is that I am inconsistent!! Understand, I wake up every morning knowing something is going to break, something is going to get sick or something is going to cost a lot of money, there is nothing consistant about a cattleman's life nor do our "plans" often coincide with God's Will. Therefore, like with life these post follow the "I'll cross the bridge when I get there, and I'll fix it when its broke if He allows me to" schedule that I maintain. #3. I encourage feedback!! Tell me what your thinking, where I'm wrong and lets talk about it.. Lets learn together for the Glory of our God and the good of my industry.
I understand that this may never be read and I am fine with that, but If it is - let me say this " Thanks be to God for you and it my hope that a picture of Christ is revealed through my thoughts and scripture that He allows me to bring forth to this page(Matthew 28:16-20)."
In closing, I thank you for your time -if anyone is there!!
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
(Philippians 1:3-11 ESV)
