Riding in the Rain

Levi and I went for a ride last night on our horses. There were some storm clouds coming our way but it looked like they were going to go around us.

Well right after we got on and were riding down the road it started raining. Since they were big drops we thought they wouldn’t last very long but it just kept raining more and more. So we turned around and headed home. We put the horses in a shed and waited for the rain to stop. Well it didn’t. It kept getting worse and worse (we were kind of glad it was raining cuz we’ve had a drought for a long time!). I saw this greenish-bluish cloud coming and thought “Wow, that thing is interesting!” then when it was almost over us it started hailing. The shed we were in had a metal roof so it was very loud! Amigo and our two-year-old filly (named Filly) both got scared and went out but I kept Shivohn inside even though she was scared to death of the noise.

Pretty soon Filly came running back in because of getting pounded by the hail and then Shivohn settled down a little more.

The storm wasn’t getting any better and so I decided to just unsaddle right there. Levi had Amigo unsaddled after he got scared and ran out into the rain and he came and helped keep Shivohn quiet.

So the moral of the story is: Do not ride when there is a thunderstorm coming!

Now this is one to think about!!

This is from a forward we got the other day. Very profound!

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we for got it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!

More Pics

Here are some pictures. This first one was taken back in June so is the one of Levi and Amigo.

This one's my favorite.

Levi took this one of me and Shivohn today. Isn’t it crazy?! Shivohn looks like she’s got a long nose!

Here’s Levi and Amigo. I can’t ride that horse cuz he trots so so bumpy! I nearly fall off every time I try to ride him! I prefer long bodied Quarter Horses better ;P.

They make a good pair don’t ya think? :)

Lilies

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;they toil not, neither do the spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:28-29
