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.
Sign up to join the ride! ~ Gitty up, Dutch.

GRANDPOP – GO JUMP IN A LAKE

THEOLOGY OF SUFFERING
Howdy Friends! “Theology of Suffering” Suffering is all around us—in our world, in our country, in our homes, and in our hearts. Romans 5:3 says we “rejoice in our sufferings”; James calls us to “count it all joy” (James 1:2); and Jesus told us to “take heart” (John...
FLEXIBILITY IS NOT IN THE NECK
Howdy Friends! Flexibility is not in the neck! It IS in the back, the spine. And you can’t correct that by over bending the horse right or left . You need to get the horse to lift the back, separate the vertebrae then they’ll have the suppleness to turn side to side....
THE DOCTRINE OF SUFFERING
