Jack Is Back
The Dr released Jack to resume football. After wearing a brace for several weeks and doing therapy and special exercises Jack’s knee was deemed healed. This allows him to play in the last two games of the year.

Sunbelt
Travels this week took me to Moultrie Georgia to the Sunbelt Ag Expo. This would be one of the largest agriculture trade shows in the US. With the diversity of crops and livestock they have in south east it was enlightening to see all the different equipment. See more click Sunbelt Ag Expo
Traveling by commercial airlines these days is to say the least interesting. To say the most, it is down right frustrating. Click Panhandle Poet to read about our lovely trip.
Shaun Sweiger with Cattle Stats & Brian visit with a couple of cattle producers about BVDV testing for their cattle.
I had a booth for our company at the trade show. I also invited a couple of our private commercial lab customers to have a representative participate in our booth too. Chris McClure from Gold Standard Labs in Hereford Texas and Shaun Sweiger from Cattle Stats in Oklahoma City Oklahoma were great help. The conversations we had with producers, state extension people, veterinarians & state cattle associations were very productive.
Moultrie is the home for the Maule airplane. The air frame is built off of the Stinson model 108. My brothers and I learned to fly in a 1947 108-1 Stinson when we were growing up. It is a super good airplane. It was the first airplane to have a slotted leading edge. This enabled the plane to make shorter take offs and landings.

Maule was offering rides at the trade show. For $15.00 they would take you up for a lap around the pattern and then land. Best $15.00 I have spent in a long time.

Ranch Overnight
Early Fall At The Ranch House
Jack and part of the cat herd.

A night at the ranch house is good therapy for anybody, especially in the fall of the year. The mornings are crisp and cool the afternoons are hot and windy. And the stars, all the stars, from horizon to horizon, you can spend hours just gazing at the heaven and pondering life. There are no trees, no buildings and no city lights to obscure the beautiful night sky.
From my travels I can tell you that most people don’t really understand how flat and open the Texas Panhandle really is. When Europeans first crossed this country their best description was that it was like being on a sea of grass. Below is a panoramic picture of the ranch. You can see for yourself how it looked before people and the plow came to the high plains. You can click on the picture for a lager view. The dots in the distance are cattle grazing.

It’s been a good year at the ranch for cats. Even with the abundant cat patrol we have had a few rattle snakes found around the ranch house.

Thanks for touching each of our lives.

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1) I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? 2) My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3) He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; 4) indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5) The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6) the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7) The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; 8) The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Micah 6:8
8) He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Colossians 3:23-24
23) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24)since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Romans 8:26-39
26)In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27)And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
28)And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29)For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30)And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31)What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32)He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33)Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34)Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35)Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36)As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37)No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38)For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39)neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
