With a little luck, we may be able to call this rugged landscape home soon. The drought has brutalized West Texas but for some reason God is calling me to this region. I'm meeting with the owner tomorrow and I think we can work out the financials. They are at least within striking range, if not ideal. It's 10 acres with a lot of potential in a relatively "free" county.
There are neighbors within eyesight but not close. In West Texas you can see for a couple of miles, so it's hard to find someplace so remote that you can't see ANY neighbors. But they are farming folks struggling along so perhaps we'll relate. And actual family is fairly close. Within a couple of hours drive which is closer than we've ever been before.
I don't see the scorched grass and the dry creek. I don't see the withered trees or the rocks and the cactus. I see gardens, a home, and children playing in the fields while livestock graze.

That would be a tough one..... The freedom would be fantastic, but without mountains....
Home is what you make. Choose to see the good, just be realistic.
I see the green in those trees there... Let others see the drought, see the blessings...
