My oldest son, John Henry, just finished his freshman year on the Texas High varsity golf team. I had the opportunity to watch every bit of it, and I learned quickly that I did not know as much as I thought I did. Team golf is a different kind of pressure.

Nearly a decade ago, the Sarines had plans to build in an entirely different neighborhood. Those plans were set aside, and in time, they came to see that pause as a gift. “We originally planned to build a totally different house plan in a different neighborhood almost 10 years earlier, but the Lord had us put a pause on that home,” Emily Sarine reflects.

When people hear the word cowboy, some picture rough men and honky-tonks. But the truth is, a cowboy hat, boots, and spurs do not make a cowboy. It goes much deeper than that. It is rooted in generations of history, heritage, and character. … To the outside world, cowboy life may mean caring for the land and livestock God has blessed you with.
