This week ’twas able to cover down on some of my fellow soldiers in America’s heartland again. The more time I spend here, the more I feel at home. The land appears to stretch indefinitely into the horizon. Tractor companies dot the roads. Transportation industries boom via the roads and rails.
It grieves me to see so much of nature gobbled up via massive yellow, red, and green mechanized predators. I do not think the evidence indicates man is, generally speaking, a good or wise steward of creation.
Most folks desire comfort rather than sagacious stewardship. This is not a political screed, but only one man’s observation of this creation that I think we should steward well; it is a microcosm of a much more signficant issue.
I remain so grateful for the opportunities I have to pour into fellow soldiers, to listen to their stories, and to speak without speaking the themes of brotherhood and service.
MIND & MATTERS 
I am thankful we have been ( and still are) blessed and have visited so many of God’s beautiful areas. Vast acreage has been saved due to the wisdom of previous generations. I can picture you in Utah for months on end.

Dear brother, There are so many beautiful places I can picture myself. I have my favorites, of course, regarding places I have seen. But the more I go, the more I see that is so moving, so beautiful. The adverb ‘so’ is overused here, I concede, but nothing moves me quite like landscapes. And right now, the temps are changing, the deer are moving, the bucks are swollen with testosterone and are chasing the ladies, the corn and soybeans are being harvested, the leaves are turning, etc. and I am in heaven. I have not been blessed to spend as much time in Utah as I would like, but each time I do go, my cup is full.
