It is truly inspiring to see you all serving the Lord the way you all do. It was refreshing to meet other men (at Men's Day) in the ranch and farming profession that know their need for God's grace and wish to serve HIm back. Thank you for hosting the event and taking the time to graciously and generously serve us.

I was needing encouragement and I found it at (your) place! God had to be working because the speaker's topics directly addressed what I was struggling with. It has further strengthened my belief that God works in great ways through His servants...skilled or unskilled, gifted or not) that show up to the "fight", and you all showed up.
Thank you! God Bless.

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of Winter Storm Atlas. I'll always just refer to it as "the blizzard" and to some extent, the timeline of my life exists before and after the blizzard. Those weeks and months changed me, defined me, shaped me in a way thats hard to explain, and still hard to talk about.

My first thoughts of the blizzard go to the utter devastation, and hopelessness, and helplessness that so many of us felt in those many moments after the storm cleared. And then the overwhelming, constant work that came next.

Just days before the blizzard, Larry Reinhold shared a message at the Stockgrowers convention about trust. I had no idea how much that message would become my guidepost in the year to follow. To trust that it would all be ok in the end. To trust that yes, I could do the work that was before me, and to trust that there was a bigger purpose to be revealed.
Now, mostly, I want to remember the good. The neighbors who helped one another without asking and without telling. The volunteers who worked tirelessly, the donations of cash, and heifers, and Christmas baskets, and boots, and bibles, and so many more gifts, gestures and actions that will likely never be told but will live on in the hearts and smiles of families across our region.

The abrupt change in weather these last days, has been eerily reminiscent of the way that the beautiful fall of 2013 turned deadly. I know a lot of families have been feeling the anxiety and stress of remembering the blizzard. I feel it too. But, I trust.

This was my daughter's first year of being at camp for a whole week. I was probably more nervous than she was, she was so excited to go! I am just so, so thankful we have found a place to send our kids that puts so much focus on personal quiet time with God as part of the morning routine. Camp is not full of hype and an intensity that doesn't sustain, but rather consistent, real, and down to earth biblical teaching that seeps into the soul like a slow rain. For this, I am so thankful. 
This picture was taken of my daughter one morning as she was having her morning "QT" time reading through scriptures and the devotional in her growth guide. It really tells the story of what Rainbow Bible Ranch is about. After listening to her and her brother download their week, I am assured yet again that all the effort that they and we go to, to get them to camp is well worth it. Thank you to Larry Robin Reinhold and the entire crew at RBR for all you do. You are all very much appreciated.
