Dear friends and readers,
Last week I posted some country light hearted sayings and a bit of humor. My wife had been telling me for some time that folks out there in "reader-land" are just plain sick and tired of a diet of bad news every single night on the talking heads programs. So, as is the case for all good husbands I listened and obeyed (-:
Not too surprisingly the response on last weeks humor was great and told me she was right (as usual). Actually I was going back to MY basics this week with a very heavy article on this particular blog (I actually have three more, also published weekly) when the horror of Las Vegas struck America. So, first and foremost, my family and I are praying for all the victims of this evil senseless attack and particularly for the families of those who were slain.
Out of respect for the victims and as a country gent m'self, I decided to keep the atmosphere light again this week. So, for you country lovers here we go again.
Enjoy!

A good bargain: Firewood warms you twice. When you cut it and when you burn it.
COUNTRY FOLKS: Laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry, know when your sick and care when you die. To be country is to be family! Now's the time for crying folks. For our country cousins in Las Vegas.
God bless folks and lets keep praying for all the victims of terror no matter where they are living.
Pastor Rance.
