Here’s a picture of some of the tools I’m using as I build my log home. The blue tool with the long handle is called a peavey. It has a metal spike at the end and also a hook. When this is placed on the log, I now have leverage to roll a massive log […]

Meet two of my friends I’ve met on this journey. Ralph, the older guy filled with wisdom and God’s love, and Tom the doesn’t look older guy who also is filled with wisdom and God’s love. Both have been planted in my path by God himself. I was at a men’s event where I didn’t know

Corn needs rain to grow. It’s so important for my corn that I pray for this rain. But not seven inches in two days! Who prayed for that! Growing up on the farm a generation ago, it always seemed to me that we were at the mercy of God and nature. I remember many times before eating a

Well, it’s started. My dream of building my own log house, it’s now a reality. The first step anyways. The first of many logs has been cut, scraped free of bark, and now marked for it’s place in the wall. But there’s a problem. It doesn’t fit in. I’ve read the how to book over

This windmill reaches out and turns its own direction to an invisible source to receive power. Power to move, to be, to “come alive”. While we were traveling from Colorado back to Mississippi, I caught this picture right at daybreak. Amazing to me how the windmill was “reaching” towards the sky. Its blades were higher than the surrounding landscape.

A “big un”. This tree next to Goodwater Church Cemetery was four feet across the trunk and pushing 100 feet tall. This tree has been a “big ole” tree since I was a little boy (been a while now). Well what happened? Nature has a way of showing its strength. First, the rain, and lots

I was “bushwhacking” through the wilderness of Colorado when I came upon this carved tree. Looks like Mr. Monte left his mark on this aspen tree. No major roads, not even a small trail was close by. I’m curious how many people have walked here. Possibly ole Chas and me and that’s it. Possibly could

Poor little chipmunk. He must be starving because he’s stuffin’ himself. He’s filled his cheek pouches full. The seeds and grain at my bird feeder have turned into the chipmunk express buffet!! He looks full. Well, actually he’s still eating and still stuffin’! Looks hungry doesn’t he? I’ve looked that way eating Cheetos as I drive down the
