Rick Renner Ministries

I've been enjoying for some time, the ministry of a pentecostal missionary to Russia.  He has a daily devotional that I've subscribed to - - and if you're like me, you'll enjoy letting Rick share it with you via his short daily video.

An Old Farmer's Wisdom

* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

   * Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance. 

   * Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

  * A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
 
* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.
 
  * Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

  * Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

  * Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

  * It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge. 

  * You cannot unsay a cruel word.

   * Every path has a few puddles.

   * When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

  * The best sermons are lived, not preached.

   * Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

  * Don't judge folks by their relatives.

* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

  * Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, 

you'll enjoy it a second time.

* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.

  * Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. 
 
   * If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. 
 
* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

   * The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, 

watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

   * Always drink upstream from the herd.

   * Good judgment comes from experience, and a
lotta that comes from bad judgment. 

   * Lettin'  the cat outta the bag is a whole lot
easier than puttin' it back in.

  * If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, 

try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

   * Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
