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.

WHEN A NATION FORGETS GOD
Howdy Friends! And I replied: God is even kind to the unthankful and to the evil. He rains upon the just and the unjust. The general mercy of God in His long-suffering should be enough to cause men to cry out in humble thanksgiving and praise for the time God has...
“Grandpop – The Week Between Christmas and New Year.”
Howdy Friends! “Grandpop – The Week Between Christmas and New Year.” It didn’t take long to find Grandpop. He usually spent the biggest part of mornings in the barn. Cold weather like this he’d rotate horses inside, “To keep it warm in here.” Every horse had its turn...
We are Responsible for Setting Boundaries
Howdy Friends! “Boundaries.” We are responsible for setting boundaries. Not by discipline or heavy handedness, but by simple politeness, consistency and thoughtfulness. Horses do not violate boundaries because they want to be bad, unruly or “pushy.” They violate...
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...
