Wordless Wednesday: Fall in the Flint Hills

Rooster and I enjoyed a breathtaking sunset after our nightly run. God is a fantastic painter!

The leaves are changing colors!

Blame the Flint Hills wind for a blurry photo

Hard to see the different colors of the prairie but they are beautiful in person

Winter wheat is peppered across the land

This windmill now serves as a photo prop instead of its original purpose

Dodge/Ram Silences Audience with God Made a Farmer During Super Bowl

I just watched the best two Super Bowl commercials in history. I'm sure you've heard about them and that is why you are here.

My absolute favorite was the Dodge commercial that featured the classic Paul Harvey monologue "So God Made A Farmer". Here it is if you missed it.



Coming from a farm/ranch family and marrying into another, this commercial touched my heart. I'm also a Dodge owner and love their support of the National FFA Organization and rodeo. Overall awesomesauce. This isn't the first time I've blogged about Paul Harvey and this piece - I loved it then and love it now!

Second favorite commercial was the Budweiser Clydesdales - horse owners and lovers everywhere were brought to tears. It was just amazing - it is hard to describe the bond between a good horse and its owner.



What was your favorite commercial? I thought the milk one with The Rock was great too!

Until next time,

So God Made a Farmer

Surely ya'll remember Paul Harvey? He was a well-known radio broadcaster with a very distinguishable voice who was famous for his tagline, "The Rest of the Story."

In 1978, he was apparently a guest speaker at the 1978 National FFA Convention and he gave a speech called, 'So God Made a Farmer'. A family friend emailed me this video that has set pictures to the words of that speech. It's quite inspiring and makes me proud of my family's agriculture heritage and Hyatt's family's production background.

I think you'll enjoy it too.

I Am Second - Trevor Brazile

It's no secret that I, along with several thousands of rodeo fans, are huge Trevor Brazile fans.  What's not to love? He is an 11 time World Champion and holds the record for most All-Around titles ever won with 8. He is a well-known poster boy for being a family man, he's obviously very skilled with a rope and even better.... he gives glory to God for all of it.  I saw this video early last week and by the time it makes it up on my blog, I'm sure it will have been shared many times. But whatevs, it's my birthday in the states and he's my favorite so I'm sharing it again. I hope you enjoy it.



Until next time,
