Whenever I see this scene, I am reminded of a section from the classic, "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan.
....
"These mountains are Emmanuel’s land, and they are within sight of His city; and the sheep also are His, and He laid down his life for them."
….
The reflective light across the hills in the breaks just "hint" of the light of God. Another fun fact...Emanuel Reinhold, my grandpa, use to call this home..."Emanuel's Land"

The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work. - President Harry S. Truman

If you are only impressed by the magnificence of a 14000 foot mountain peak, may you slip from your loftiness so that you may see the subtle beauty created by God that is all around us.

A plentiful harvest is grown from heartfelt dreams that are sown with the seeds into fertile soil. And the miracle continues as sunshine and water unite to nurture a bounty that will be provision for our body and inspiration for our soul.

I WISH MY HANDS WERE SOFT…
"I wish my hands were soft…
They will never be soft though. Just a Ranchers Life!”
“Either they are all chapped from the cold weather and stuff or they are all scratched up from all the work I do! Like eating cookies!"

Cowboy Philosopher Will Rogers and our very own (younger version) Caleb James agrees, "We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by."
Difficult times
"During difficult times our faith may be tested, but our God isn't."
