Cute doggies, Oldteen!
I once took a picture of a miniature horse and a Clydesdale at a horse show.

cheers

That must have been quite a picture.

Clydesdales are beautiful when taken proper care of. I used to work for a Minor League ball club and Budweiser was one of our MAJOR sponsors. They had a team of Clydesdales at the ballpark one night. If you weren't known by the local distributor, you didn't even get close. (I got to pet a few of them...really something!)

I’ve seen the Bud Clydesdales a few times. One of my horse owning friends went to the Bud farm near St.Louis and bought a colt who did not have the exact markings they want for a team of horses. She raised the colt and broke it to ride. He is huge and gentle as a lamb. However when he rubs his behind on a fence, it often falls apart. Hee Hee.

The High Cost Of Living

October 3, 2012

When I was young, I thought the cost of living in my parents’ home was too high. Looking back, I laugh at how ridiculous it was to complain. My parents never charged me a cent for living at home. The only “cost” was obedience. I simply had to obey rules like clean up after myself, be polite, tell the truth, and go to church. The rules weren’t difficult, but I still had trouble obeying them. My parents didn’t kick me out for my disobedience, however. They just kept reminding me that the rules were to protect me, not harm me, and sometimes they made the rules stricter to protect me from myself.

The cost of living in the Promised Land was the same: obedience. In his final address to the nation, Moses reminded the people that the blessings God wanted to give them depended on their obedience (Deut. 30:16). Earlier he had told them that a good life would be determined by obedience: “Observe and obey . . . that it may go well with you” (12:28).

Some people think the Bible has too many rules. I wish they could see that God’s commands are for our good; they allow us to live in peace with one another. Obedience is simply the “cost” of being part of God’s family on this glorious globe He created and allows us to call home.

Heavenly Father, may we not see obedience as a
burden but as a privilege. Help us to be grateful
for Jesus, who shows us how to live, and for
the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to obey.
The Bible is not a burden but a guide to joy-filled living.

Read: Deuteronomy 30:15-20

Love the Lord your God, . . . obey His voice, . . . that you may dwell in the land. —Deuteronomy 30:20
Bible in a Year:
Micah 5-7

I remember when this happened. It was in Harlem, NYC, and the dude also had a pet crocodile.
