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.
I BELIEVE “WHO” IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN “WHAT”
Howdy Friends! I believe that “who” is much more important than “what.” In a story, in life, with our horses. I believe when working with our horses, it is far more important to get to know “who” they are before we begin to “train” them. That’s another word I’m not...
WHAT IF THERE WAS NO BETHLEHEM
Howdy Friends! What if there were no Bethlehem? What if the greatest miracle of all time had not come? What if no baby king had been born to a virgin in a stable? What if He had not walked among us? What if He had not healed the sick, taught the disciples, and died...
CHRISTMAS and GRANDPOP
Howdy Friends! He leaned in his rocker to jab at a log in the fireplace, sending sparks and crackles up the flue. His gnarled fingers held his poker with a deftness of years of hard work. His wry grin, born of years of teasing his wife. "She'd always scold me whenever...
A CHRISTMAS STORY
Howdy Friends! A few years ago I wrote this CHRISTMAS STORY. It's become a Christmas tradition for me to share with our friends. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in and have a read . . . MERRY CHRISTMAS ~ Dutch. A Christmas Story – Part 1, by Dutch Henry. With a piece of...
WHY ARE WE SLAVES TO OPPRESSION IN AMERICA?
Howdy Friends! In our search to understand, wickedness, oppression, lies, and manipulation from our own government. We can of course find the answers in God’s word. Let’s look at Nehemiah 9:35-37: “Even in their own kingdom, and amid your great goodness that you...
Horses Have A Pause Button
Howdy Friends! Horses have a pause button. And they'll push it themselves. Sure sometimes we push it for them, but however it gets pushed, it works. And they pause. Sometimes they pause a little, sometimes they pause a lot. Pausing is an important part of being a...
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE?
Howdy Friends! In recent years, I have pondered the question, “Should a Christian have a Christmas tree?” I really don’t know. There are a lot of “acceptable by today’s standards ideas” about many things that when one begins to truly study, one discovers a Christian...
THE GRAND OAK
Howdy Friends! Along the trail I call 25 waterfalls I noticed, after the leaves had all dropped one fall 7 years ago, an exceptionally big tree on the far side of the ravine. Each day as I rode by the towering oak I thought about how much that tree had been witness to...
CHRISTMAS IS FAST APPROACHING
CHRISTMAS IS FAST APPROACHING Howdy Friends! Christmas is fast approaching and folks are scurrying about to finish decorating and shopping with excitement and love in their hearts. For some it will be the first Christmas with a new baby or spouse. For others it will...
Grandpop – “Of Course I love My Country, I’m Just Not Sure I Recognize It Anymore.”
Howdy Friends! They told me at the house Grandpop had saddled ol' Blue and set out on a moon light trek to the campsite. That's all I needed to know something was bothering him. It was a two hour ride to the knob Grandpop called the campsite, and neither he nor Blue...
