Lew Sterrett comes to Oklahoma

In one exciting night, Mr. Lew Sterrett trained an unbroken, 2 year old mare and finally rode her. It was the first time she had been ridden, having come from a winter of roaming free in a pasture. As he worked with the horse- at first just trying to get her to turn her head and face him with both eyes, he talked about our relationship with the Lord and how people- like the mare- are untrained and too busy "doing" to hear God's still small voice. We are called "human beings" not "human doings" after all! Good point.

Sometimes we get so busy we forget to just "be" for a moment. She kept deciding to do her own thing and run away (as far as she could in the confines of the pen) from Mr. Sterrett.

He put the rope over her eyes to see if she would trust him. After this he had her walk around and follow him by listening to his voice. Then after he took the rope off she started following him around all by herself. The way we should hunger for God so much that we can not afford to let Him out of our sight.

It was a great night of learning more about how we as Christians should live.

Hungering after the Lord "as newborn babes desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious."

1 Peter 2: 2-3

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy , which took place on Slapton Sands or Slapton Beach in Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in friendly fire deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by E-boats of the German Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946 American servicemen.

The Best [poem]

Christ wants the best. He in the far-off ages Once claimed the firstling of the flock, the finest of the wheat, And still He asks His own with with gentlest pleading To lay their highest hopes and and brightest talents at His feet. He'll not forget the feeblest service, humblest love; He only asks that of our store we give to Him The best we have. Christ gives the best. He takes the hearts we offer; And fills them with His glorious beauty, joy and peace; And in His service as we're growing stronger, The calls to great achievements still increase. The richest gifts for us on earth, or in the heavens above, Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we receive The best we have. And is our best too much? O friend, let us remember How once our Lord poured out His soul for us, And in the prime of Hi
