Blue Jay, part of the "Corvidae" family of birds, which, interestingly, includes Crows and Ravens. When they come to the feeder, they're quick, and it's hard to get a photo. This one, though, sat on this fence for a while and gave me a good opportunity.

Bullock's Orioles...male (left) and female. They like the dried cherries in the feeder. They also eat insects, so no shortage of food for them.
American Kestrel, the smallest of the Falcons. He landed on some cinder blocks in our yard to enjoy his lunch and stayed for quite some time.
This beauty watched my dog and I as we walked a quiet trail along the Arkansas River. She stood so still that my dog never even saw her. 😅

People are saying we should pray for the person who assassinated Charlie Kirk, that that’s what he would want us to do.
Exactly.
We should hate the act and the perpetrator should face justice, but we should definitely pray for his soul.
So true. My wife and I discussed this last night. Every time Charlie went out to hold an event, she must’ve known there was a chance that something like this could happen. From what I’ve read, she’s a woman of great faith. God will uphold and strengthen her in the midst of grief.
It should be noted that Charlie Kirk’s wife was equally brave for supporting her husband’s mission despite the daily threats against her family. Erika shaped his final years, made him into the man he wanted to be. She knew the risks and supported him in his mission. She deserves so much gratitude and support as she is suffering the greatest loss today and for the rest of her life. Please God, comfort and strengthen this young family.

“And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand”
“More diverse and inclusive.” Unless you’re a Christian. Then you’re excluded. That’s what they’re really doing.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first…I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” (John 15:18-19)
An elementary school in Eastleigh, Hampshire, England has announced it is ending its annual Easter parade in an effort to be more diverse and inclusive. Norwood Primary School announced it would focus its efforts on Refugee Week later in the year. Read: humanevents.com/2025/03/23/u…

I always think of my dad's cousin, Floyd, on December 7th. He gave my dad this leather wall-hanging when they were kids in the 1930s. Floyd joined the Navy & was killed at Pearl Harbor. His body was never recovered. Dad was younger. He joined at 17 in '43 & served in the Pacific.

A Mighty Fortress!
"Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
We're not the right Man on our side
The Man of God's own choosing
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth His Name
From age to age, the same
And He must win the battle"
My wife reminded me this morning that a year ago today, I was admitted to the hospital for "acute heart failure," & there I would spend the next 7 days. I said, "Yeah, that was a bad day." But I was quickly put in check. God reminded me that it was actually a great day. If (1/2)

I was checking out the Texas-UL Monroe first-half stats and discovered that the UL QB is General Booty. Full name - General Maximus Axel Booty. Apparently, his parents planned to call him Axel, but he would only respond to "General." Good on him! I love it!

Just saw @LindseyBoetsch on @KKTV11News reporting on rattlesnake encounters in southern Colorado. Some friends of mine recently encountered this one on the trail while on a run at Lake Pueblo State Park.
