Journal Entry 1 An Empty Cot in the Bunkhouse
Trail Bosses Journal Trail Date February 13th, 1887. Location. Somewhere on the trail. Dear Journal. Well, there's one empty cot in the bunkhouse tonight.

Charlie was here when I signed on at the Triple Cross. Back then, they called him the old man, and to this day, he still called me son. He was a cowboy's cowboy. I mean, a top hand who never h...

Saved By Grace
The Encyclopedia Britannica says grace, in Christian theology is the spontaneous , unmerited gift of the divine favor in the salvation of sinners, and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification . Really?! But what dos that mean to me? Let’s try it this way. God's grace is defined as undeserved favor. What does that mean? Grace cannot be earned; it is something that is freely given. We count on God's grace and the bridge he built in our relationship wi...

Change. What is your response to that word? And what thoughts come to mind. For some change is never easy. To others it opens the door to new adventures.
