IN THE WORD - MEN'S DAY 2025

In the Word.... Good sermons .... encouraging testimonies. We are grateful to Stephen C. DeFord from Ekalaka, for doing our main sessions. David Paul from Mud Butte and Dylan Madsen of Vivian, shared what God has done in and through their lives. I heard so many compliments from those in attendance.

"Nearly" Heaven On A Horse

Caleb and Danny along with the rest of the RBR crew had 26 men on horseback for a most enjoyable ride on a beautiful day. God certainly blessed this time of fellowship. The Kyle Evans song... "Heaven on a horse on the wide open prairies of Dakota" ... we will just add one "Nearly in heaven... "

Don't Wait

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. -Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭27‬ ‭

Making hay while the storm rolls.

While we may run out of time for the hay before the rain comes…. Will you run out of time before the SON returns?

Don’t wait! Accept Jesus today.

Came Through in Flying Colors

We had pretty good frost two nights ago in low spots on the ranch, however fortunately, the flowers at Rainbow's Pathfinder Garden came through in "Flying Colors". Robin, Kiersten, Julia, and Rachel are to be commended for their efforts. I have a hunch you won't find these views behind many chutes and arenas elsewhere.

I Love What I Do

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Ephesians 6:10

As I woke this morning,(around 4:10 AM) the words printed above were immediately going through my mind... over and over again. I might add that it not uncommon at all for me to awaken in the morning to songs or scripture immediately stirring my heart and mind. I told Robin a couple of evenings ago, "I miss camp". Not that I was enjoying a break from the "busyness" of camp... but I sure miss the kids. So since it is Friday and I generally give a challenge to our campers on the last day and to their families after the rodeo... Ephesians 6 is the passage I share with you.

***

I may add... "I love what I do".

Taking A Stand

Taking a stand allows you to see further.... it may take you out of your comfort zone... requires trust... calls for courage... and then wisdom to realize when it is time to sit down in the saddle and ride.

"MOST BLESSED"

"Most Blessed"... We do what we love...
with the ones we love... for the ONE we love...
and HE shows HIS love to us continually.

LEGACY SUNDAY

Sundays during Legacy II are very special... thoughtful...

After Breakfast we have our service... Singing... Preaching... Testimony... Singing hymns... And we also take time to have an offering that will go to missions. To God be the glory... 850.00 was given from campers and staff... Wow... just wow. Most will go to our sister camp in Hungary, Morning Star Ranch Ministry Gábor Győri and family are extremely special folks. Some of the offering also went to The Gideons International. We so appreciate this ministry.

REAL ESTATE WHERE LIVES ARE IMPACTED

Our dear friend, Brad Eveleth, told me one day a number of years ago as he came to work cattle with us, “ As I drove over the breaks from the south and looked over the ranch before me…I could not think of any other piece of real estate that has impacted so many lives for so many years.”

***

First week of the summer without campers here... a little quieter... we were ready for the breather... have numerous projects to get done... And as we realize another camp year completed... we just pray that each young person that was with us will allow God to continue the work within. We so enjoy where we live and we love what we do. To God be the glory.

"GOIN' FISHING"

Bass, Trout, Crappie, Perch, Bluegill and Catfish... are some of the opportunities to catch at the ranch. "Kid Heaven"... We have a number of ponds stocked to offer this variety of fishing experiences.

THE FINAL DAY....

"FRIDAY - AUGUST 8 - THE FINAL DAY OF

RBR CAMP SEASON #46 ....BUT HARDLY AN ENDING..."

Silhouettes and Sunsets...

Moments that make memories...

Decisions that last through eternity...

Treasures in Heaven... that last...

Challenge that builds character...

Real life in action...

Truth without doubt...

Youth without regret...

Respect...

One day time will disappear into eternity...

Above all.... Christ....

***

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 3:31

***

And until the day Christ comes or calls me home...

***

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14
