For years, my dad has wanted to name his farm...his dream ranch, "The North Spoon" - so as homage to my pop's dream ranch, hence, my title. It brings up great memories in my life and I hope to post great memories,thoughts,and events on this blog. Blessings. -ao

Battle of the Browser!
So, I’m just putting it out there – I’m stuck between three high-powered browsers and wondering which to land with! Any suggestions? I have to use IE for YL things since not everything is fully compatible with the others, but I like the simplicity and options of these newbys (and there are a couple others out there if you are interested).
Here they are:
Internet Explorer 8 / Beta (brand new and it’s Microsoft’s attempts to keep up w/the new high-speed web browsers) www.microsoft.com
Firefox (by Mozilla) 3.0 (google Mozilla firefox)
Google Chrome (new web browser fresh out of the shoot from Google) (goto “more” on google or gmail site and look for “Google Chrome”)
Check them out! Let me know your thoughts.

A Word
"During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "it's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." -Mathew 14:25-33
The word here that stands out to me ( for now ) is: "Come". It is the idea of where am I being asked to come...where or What am I leaving behind (being challenged from Him)? What am I stepping toward?
Is it to step away.....out of my comfort zone into the unknown? It seems that this is the direction I'm hearing. To trust God is out there, even if I can't see....in the unknown! The word, "Come" is an invitation into and for transformation (-Jim Branch) in me. I am praying in this way. I would appreciate your prayers for me as I listen to what He is telling me and / or inviting me toward.
