I took the picture at the very top yesterday just outside Reserve, New Mexico to show you the parched land. The whole area from Datil to Reserve is very, very dry.

I do not know what more folks are not calling for prayer everyday at noon for rain in New Mexico. It is just plain bad here. Ranchers in Catron County are using cotton seed bought from Texas to help “fill up their cattle’. Vegetation is just plain gone in many areas. The Elk are raiding gardens and anything they can eat. Is the Governor paying attention? It seems to me that I have not heard a word from her on our severe drought and the plight of our ranchers and rural communities and the WATER ISSUE FOR THE STATE! The next war in America could well be over water.

Read here how a man came to the rescue of his neighbors……..PTL!!!

New Mexico Hall of Fame broadcaster, Cowboy Frank Haley shared this with us last week……

How is God like a cowboy? He’s some insight into God’s heart.
Cowboys have an unspoken code, which is learned from older cowboys…
Live a life of honesty, integrity, and courage.
A cowboy is like a shepherd.
Cowboys have these characteristics:
C… courage: Deuteronomy 31:6
H… humble: James 4:10 humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up
R… righteousness: Titus 2:11-12
I… integrity: Proverbs 20:7 a righteous man has integrity and steadfastness: 1 Corinthians 15:58 be steadfast immoveable
T… truthful Ephesians 4:25 for we are members of one another
Luke 15:4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?”
God invites you to come back. He seeks you like the good shepherd.
You never forget when the Holy Spirit breathes on you. It’s the beginning of learning how to trust Him.
Tim would run a new horse in circles. Breaking him in. Teaching the horse to trust him. Then the horse would follow him anywhere.
Do you trust God? If you trust him, follow him.
You’ve got to learn to trust the one you are following. Learn to trust the Lord Jesus!
Cows are branded to identify where they belong.
Have you been branded by the Holy Spirit?
What brand are you riding for today?
God must be a Cowboy/Shepherd!!
