Watching video of my two great-nephews on a sled ride across their pasture in Oklahoma following last week’s snowstorm brought back memories. In case you haven’t noticed, we don’t get a lot of snow in this part of the country. Even when we do there’s no hill for sledding anyway. In the country, kids find a way, however. My dad always told of sledding behind a pickup or tractor on top of a big old car hood turned upside down. I suppose that would work and you could probabl...

I've got new neighbors up the road from me a piece. I've yet to meet them but I'm familiar with their cattle. I usually drive past them at least six times a day. It's not a real big place and right now there's not any pasture sewn but the guy that lived there before used to do that until he got too old and finally went to the old folks home. I bet the folks living there in the house that separates the two pastures will do something with the ground. They started out with three...

It was the first one I used as a song leader — the “Old Red Book” or properly titled, “Sacred Selections for the Church.” For those who don’t know, I grew up going to a Church of Christ and fo...
