Busy Week

This last week has sure been busy with a lot of driving involved. Wednesday, we had to run down to Española for a doctor appointment, then down to Albuquerque on Thursday to pick up an ATV and back to Santa Fe for another appointment, up to Alamosa on Friday for a vehicle service, and we’ll be going to Rio Rancho this afternoon and back to Alamosa on Monday. Not that I mind driving, I just prefer the type of work with my feet on the ground. At least on Saturday, with the help of Antonio, Antonio junior, and Levi, we got to get all the heifers in and work them through the chute, and also brand Blindy’s heifer calf, then move them to the next pasture. As usual, Blindy moved right along with the herd, you would hardly know that she was blind, and she sure raises a good calf. Also, Wednesday morning I got a call from Andrew that one of his cows with an electronic tag was tattling on her being out of the Chavez pasture and into Sheep Allotment, so we skedaddled back home from our appointment and Wednesday afternoon ran on out to the forest to get a bunch of cows back in that had gotten out. I guess it turned out that Andrews’ cow actually tattled on several of our cows being out also. It turned out that the elk were the culprit, they seem to like to keep hitting a section of fence until they can knock it completely down on the ground to make it easier to go through, and of course the cattle take advantage of their doings to get out also! I got the herd back in and the fence stretched back up, all before dark! It will sure be good to get back to ranch work this next week!

The Bible has a few things to say about being busy, Colossians 3:23-24 says: And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Also, Proverbs 21:5 states: The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 adds: I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. But doing good for others is always good also, Galatians 6:9 states: And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Also, Hebrews 13:16 adds: But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. We should, however, not forget to have wisdom and balance, Ephesians 5:15-17 says: See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ecclesiastes 4:6 adds: Better a handful with quietness than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

All wise words from the Lord, let us all pray to follow them!

A Great Wedding

Yesterday we traveled down to Torreon to attend the wedding of my cousin Johnathon to Marissa. Since it wasn’t too far out of the way, and the wedding wasn’t until 4pm, we decided to visit Wendy, and of course Sara and Kyle, on our way down. We had a delightful time helping set up their swimming pool, in which Wendy had a blast sliding as the water began to cover the bottom of the pool. We decided to leave about twenty minutes early to allow plenty of time to get to the wedding. We quickly realized that we were in trouble when the car GPS told us that it would take longer than 4pm to get there! When we got to Tramway exit on I-40, we discovered the delay, traffic was backed up to the point that it was just a solid line of big trucks with a few cars in all three lanes of traffic, and none of the three lanes were moving. We quickly took the Tramway exit and followed the frontage road until we had to re-enter I-40 a few miles up the freeway where there was again a solid line of traffic, it reminded me of a line in a James Taylor song where the lyric goes: “just in time, to stand in line, with the freeway looking like a parking lot.” A big rig was kind enough to let us merge in, and we discovered that what seemed like a stopped line of traffic was actually moving at the very slow, but at least constant, speed of 4 miles per hour. We only had five miles to go to get to our exit, but the GPS kept putting the time of arrival back, 4:02pm, 4:04pm, 4:06pm. Then, we finally discovered the problem, the DOT in their infinite wisdom had the freeway narrowed down from three lanes to only 1 lane for one person doing a little work on the shoulder, but once we got past that point, the GPS time of arrival began getting earlier. We finally made the wedding at 3:58pm, just in time to get seated before the wedding started. It was a lovely ceremony, and two of Johnathon’s attendees had actually been to the ranch to help brand, so it was good seeing them also. Johnathon’s uncle Gaylan, a Lay Pastor from the Dona Ana County Cowboy Church performed a Christian ceremony and he did a marvelous job. It is always great seeing two people united in Christ’s love!

A Christian wedding ceremony is a reflection of Christs love for us. Gaylan recited God’s Holy Word in Ephesians 5:25-27 which says: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. What a great new beginning for Marissa and Johnathon!

Great Field Day

On Friday, we had a field day out on the ranch. This is the fourth field day that we have had over the past eight years, but this one concentrated more on soil health. There were over fifty people in attendance, and the whole day went without a hitch. At one point, one of the vehicles almost got stuck, but the situation was quickly remedied by Antonio and Chad. Everyone said that they enjoyed the day, and although it is impossible to know what the faith status may have been with many of the attendees, everyone joined with me in praying to God for the lunch. I met a lot of new people, and became better acquainted with many people that I already knew. They even let me regale them at one point with the singing of the New Mexico song! We all had a really great time, and it is a day that I will never forget!

With a day like that, I think that we get just a little glimpse of what Heaven will be like. I have never envisioned it to be like many portray, stepping around on clouds, even though that does sound like a lot of fun! I think of Heaven as being more like visiting with a lot of folks that we have not seen in a while, and of course, making many new friends. God’s Holy Word gives us some glimpses into Heaven, John 3:16 assures us that we have eternal life there, and John 14:2-3 tells us that Heaven has many rooms that Jesus will lead us to. Revelation 21:4 promises that God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain, as the former order of things has passed away. And of course, 1 Corinthians 2:9 states: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” This suggest that Heaven’s beauty, joy, and glory surpass human understanding, offering hope and encouragement to believers.

I reckon that I will sure nuf be ready for Heaven when God calls me there, but in the meantime, it is sure a good thing to spread as much love and joy as we can before we get there!

Upset Bull

We got our lease bulls in on Tuesday this week, including three low birth weight bulls (LBWB) for the heifers, one going to a friend to the north. I’m a firm believer in LBWB for the heifers, this spring I had 36 heifers calve out, every one completely unassisted. Of course, you remember one heifer calved Pulley in a big snowstorm and we had to keep her in our house for a day to warm her up, but we reunited her with her mother and they are both doing fine. Anyway, back to my bull story, all the regular herd bulls were quite gentle, and two of the LBWB were fine, but the third one sure had a chip on his shoulder. He didn’t like being loaded back in Clayton, and by the time he got to the ranch he was super hot. It probably didn’t help that the owner had two blowouts on his trailer on the trip, and as he was changing tires the bull was pawing the floor of the trailer and snorting up a storm at the owner just a couple of feet from him, it is a good thing that the trailer was strong enough. When the owner finally got to the ranch, the bull came racing out of the trailer to the end of the alley, and when he found a gate impeding his progress, he exploded straight back to the other end of the alley and back into the trailer. When he realized that he couldn’t get out through the trailer, he came barreling his way back to the end of the alley and tried to put some hurt on me, but I was mostly hidden behind the gate, so after realizing that he couldn’t stomp me into the ground, he turned around and butted Antonio trying to climb up the corral out of his reach, then he raced back down the alley and tried to butt the owner. About this time, the owner gave him one huge slap across his face, which stopped him from butting the owner but probably did not improve his disposition to try to put some serious harm on us! I think that the other bulls were quite amazed by his antics, and in fact, he seemed to be rubbing off on them somewhat, so we knew that we needed to separate him somehow, so we put him in with the bigger herd bulls to hopefully get him to calm down some, got one of the other LBWB’s loaded for the neighbor, got the wild bull in with the other LBWB and miraculously managed to get them both loaded in Antonio’s trailer, and he was able to get them hauled to the pasture where the heifers were at. When he let them out at the Big Tank, they didn’t even look at the water but tore up the country trying to get away from him!
I put up a lot of prayers that I would even be able to see the bull again, and that he would calm down, so a couple of days later, when I moved tubs and salt to the Big Tank, I was happy to see the bulls with several heifers, and the wild bull neither tried to charge me or run away from me. In fact, when the bulls saw the heifers all gather around me, they began to gather in also. By the time I left, both bulls were within a few feet of me, and seemed to be fine. Isn’t the power of prayer wonderful!
