Drought
Well, it has been quite some time since I last posted. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure how to do it. This is still in the expermental stage.
Our family is doing well. I'm sure you are aware, but Texas is in the middle of a terrible drought. Being a rancher I am very aware of the lack of grain. The pastures look worse than I have ever seen them. I have been forced to sell some of my cattle at much reduced prices because of the lack of grass. i have heard stories of ranchers who have sold out completely because they are completely out of water. The hay situation is also desperate. As I write I am waiting for a truck to bring me some large round bales from about 160 miles away. The price is high, but it may mean that I can hold onto my cattke for another year.
While we realize that there are many people in the world you a suffering worse than we are, we ask you to pray that creator God will bless us with the rain that we so desperatly need.
Thanks to all who commented previously. I hope to be able to post a little more frequently (In all of my spare time. ;) ).
God bless!
