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
Howdy Friends! Dinner had been over a while. Most everyone had left for the long drive back home. We decided to spend the night. Maybe the weekend. Grandpop moved to the porch, to watch the sunset. The young lad, glued as he was to the old man, followed with him....
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
Howdy Friends! Suffering and pain are a part of life. Our bodies experience pain as a sign things are not right. Doesn’t human suffering by the same sense reveal something is not right in the world? Sin shattered God’s perfect world – and complicated our lives with...
FUN WITH A DOG NAMED SATURDAY-ENCOUNTERS THE ARK
Howdy Friends! Thought today was a sweet day to share an excerpt from Saturday’s book, “SATURDAY ENCOUNTERS THE ARK.” Have a fun read. EXCERPT – CHAPTER TWO – JOURNEY TO THE ARK ENCOUNTER ™– Now that everyone had decided the best place for Saturday’s wonderings...
A FOUNDER PROTOCOL
Howdy Friends! Founder. Few words strike fear in the hearts of horse owners more than, “Founder.” And for a great many reasons. What can we do when founder strikes? What can we do to prevent founder? Disclaimer: These are my thoughts and practices. Each of us must do...
THEY BURIED HER ON THE HILL TODAY
Howdy Friends! They buried her on the hill at sunrise. She'd loved that hill in her final years, the trees, the other horses, and the warm sun in late afternoon. A long journey through many hands, homes and hearts had charted her life's trail. Leading her to this...
WHO ARE MANY REALLY WORSHIPING IN CHURCH TODAY?
Howdy Friends! Who are many really worshiping in churches, today? God is not only the God of Love. Love is but ONE aspect of His nature. Christians have fashioned a new one-dimensional love-god-idol. Because it is no longer the Living God they’re worshiping. And...
NO SHOES NO STALLS NO GRAIN
Howdy Friends! Horses will get along, as many of them prove over and over again, with less than ideal conditions and treatment. But that does not mean they are happy, healthy or thriving. In my opinion, we owe it to our horses to provide for them with as natural a...
GRANDPOP – MAKING DECISIONS
GRANDPOP - MAKING DECISIONS Howdy Friends! They’d been in the barn a while. Grandpop and the lad. I could see that as soon as I walked in out of the rain, by the size of the hay bale stack the flat bed wagon. It was a cinch. Rainy days like this one, it was a sure bet...
