Henlightenment: The Gospel According to Beulah the Chicken”



 Here’s a faith-infused, comical blog post featuring chickens—complete with spiritual sass, frontier charm, and a curated list of references.

🐔 “Henlightenment: The Gospel According to Beulah the Chicken”

Beulah wasn’t your average barnyard bird. She strutted like royalty, clucked like a prophet, and once interrupted a sunrise sermon by laying an egg on the preacher’s boot. Some said she was just a chicken with attitude. Others whispered she was divinely appointed to keep the congregation humble.

In our frontier town, Beulah was the feathered embodiment of spiritual sass. She’d perch on the chapel windowsill during prayer, squawk at latecomers, and once chased a gossiping deacon around the garden with righteous fury. Her theology was simple: scratch for truth, peck at pride, and never underestimate the power of a well-timed squawk.

Scripture says, “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge” (Psalm 91:4). Beulah took that literally. She’d nest beside grieving widows, flap protectively at rowdy children, and once sat on the preacher’s hat during a thunderstorm—offering shelter and sass in equal measure.

Her antics reminded us that holiness isn’t always solemn. Sometimes it’s a chicken who dances in the rain, lays eggs in sacred spaces, and teaches us to laugh at ourselves. Beulah’s gospel was one of joy, protection, and boldness—clucked out in parables only the spiritually attuned could decipher.

So here’s to Beulah and her barnyard ministry. May we learn to strut with purpose, peck at injustice, and embrace the holy hilarity of life.

The Burden and the Blessing: What Saddlebags Teach Us About Spiritual Load

  The Burden and the Blessing: What Saddlebags Teach Us About Spiritual Load In the days of pioneers and trail riders, saddlebags were more than leather pouches—they were lifelines. Strapped to horses and slung over shoulders, these compact carriers held only what was essential for survival: a tin cup, a Bible, a bit of jerky, maybe a sewing kit. Every item was chosen with care, because every ounce mattered. The journey was long, the terrain unforgiving, and the weight had to be bearable. There’s a quiet wisdom in those saddlebags—a lesson for our spiritual lives today. 🎒 Packing Light for the Journey Pioneers didn’t have the luxury of excess. They knew that clutter could cost them time, energy, even safety. So they packed light, trusting that what they carried would be enough. In our spiritual walk, we often do the opposite. We load ourselves down with guilt, fear, expectations, and the need to control outcomes. We carry burdens that God never asked us to bear. But Scripture remi...

Sanctuary in the Saddle: Finding Peace on the Trail

  Sanctuary in the Saddle: Finding Peace on the Trail There’s something sacred about the rhythm of hoofbeats on open ground. For many riders, the saddle becomes more than a seat—it becomes a sanctuary. Out on the trail, surrounded by wind and wildflowers, the noise of the world fades. What remains is the quiet presence of God. "He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul." — Psalm 23:2–3 These verses echo the experience of countless trail riders who’ve found peace not in buildings or pews, but in the hush of open landscapes. 🐎 Stories from the Trail The Rancher’s Prayer : A rancher in Wyoming once shared how he found his deepest prayers not in church, but while riding fence lines at dawn. With only his horse and the rising sun, he’d speak aloud to God, letting the rhythm of the ride guide his thoughts. “It’s where I hear Him clearest,” he said. “No distractions. Just sky and Spirit.” The Grieving Rider : After losing her h...

The Gospel According to Gus: A Tail of Loyalty and Laughter”

  Here’s a faith-infused blog post celebrating canine loyalty and laughter—with a curated list of references to support the themes and anecdotes: 🐾 “The Gospel According to Gus: A Tail of Loyalty and Laughter” In the dusty corners of our frontier town, Gus the dog was more than a companion—he was a sermon in fur. With ears like flopped hymnals and a bark that echoed through the chapel walls, Gus reminded us that joy and loyalty are divine gifts, often delivered on four legs. He greeted congregants with tail-thumping grace, fetched Bibles with reverence, and once photobombed a wedding portrait with such gusto that the bride declared it “a blessing in disguise.” Gus didn’t just live among us—he ministered to us. Scripture tells us, “A cheerful heart is good medicine” (Proverbs 17:22), and Gus was our town’s pharmacist. His antics—baptizing himself in the horse trough, stealing meat pies from the church picnic, and chasing squirrels like they were agents of chaos—brought laughter tha...
