A Dog Named Saturday
Coffee Clutch got its name from the blog posts I wrote for years from the barn sitting enjoying my morning coffee with my mare, dogs, kitties and chickens. Folks really enjoyed them. Coffee Clutch is more than a newsletter. It’s a visit, it’s information, it’s fun, it’s musings, barn talk, writing talk, bird talk, horse talk and faith thoughts. And of course, it’s all the news about A DOG NAMED SATURDAY, old new and coming soon.
I’ll share some of my works in progress, upcoming publications, and more. Folks enjoy “The Old Man on the Porch, and Grandpop too, so they’ll be dropping in.

DO WE GRASP THE PRIVILEGE OF STUDYING HIS WORD

PRIVILEGE OF STUDYING GOD’S WORD
Howdy Friends! "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." (Romans 15:4) Can we fully grasp the amazing privilege of reading and studying words from God? When we...
THOUGHTS ON REPEATED HORSE VACCINATIONS
Howdy Friends! Thoughts on vaccinations, as do many homeopathic, holistic and natural practices, such as all-forage diets, no stalls, no shoes, etc., often cause quite vigorous debates. My own opinion though is we way, way over-vaccinate—to the health detriment of our...
WHAT IS A MEADOW
Howdy Friends! What is a meadow? Some of my fondest memories were Sunday afternoons as a boy, in the farm’s meadow. Cow cropped short grass, a small lazy stream, a fence line of briars, wild cherry trees, elderberries, quail and pheasant nests. Tall hickory trees...
WHERE IS GOD WHEN WE SUFFER
Howdy Friends! In the midst of pain, believers often question how the path of suffering leads to glory. Glory makes sense to believers, but suffering? Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble.” God’s promises do not eliminate suffering, but transforms...
BUILDING SELF CONFIDENCE & STABILITY
BUILDING SELF CONFIDENCE & STABILITY Howdy Friends! Self-confidence and emotional stability mean you’ll be consistently supportive. You won’t “fly off the handle” and scold, correct harshly, intimidate and confuse your horse. How can a horse become soft, trusting,...
DOES YOUR HORSE CARE
Howdy Friends! There is an old saying in the sales world, “People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.” That applies to how your horse sees you, too... For a horse/human relationship to flourish, it takes a lot more than the basic care...
