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.

ALL THINGS FOR GLORY TO GOD
ALL THINGS FOR GLORY TO GOD Howdy Friends! “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:31. But how do we do that? It’s easy to say it. But just how do we do, “Everything,” for the glory of God....
WE JUST NEED DO IT
WE JUST NEED DO IT Howdy Friends! What of the morning when laws mean nothing? When integrity can be purchased, laughed at and thought obsolete? When our children trust more in government than in God and family? Indeed what of a morning when family is only a word in...
MAN IS NOT GOD
MAN IS NOT GOD Howdy Fiends! Nothing exposes human frailty like “natural” disasters. Weather satellites can warn us and give time to run for shelter – But we are helpless to calm the storm or turn them away. When God warns Amos (Amos 7:1-6) of coming judgments –...
