D. Jake Roberts: Bodacious badgers, birds and other burrowers
Mountains, prairies and oceans white with foam, along with pastures, lawns and highway ditches, serve as unique locations for many species of burrowers. Their burrows are God-created homes that we identify as their “digs," including their own personal addresses. Amazing! kAm|@F?E2:?D[ AC2:C:6D[ 56D6CED[ =2H?D 2?5 @462?D 364@>6 G2=F23=6 6?G:C@?>6?ED 7@C 3FCC@H6C 9@>6\D:E6D] %9:D :D 7C@> qC:EE2?:42 K@@=@8Ji “qFCC@H:?8i =@4@>@E:@? @7 2 EJA6 7@F?5 :? 3@E9 E6CC6DEC:2= 2?5 2BF2E:4 2?:>2= 8C@FAD] x?
D. Jake Roberts: No problem, there's no strings attached
The phrase "no strings attached" refers to the act of doing something without asking for anything in return. Example of use: "Jim said he'd pick up our mail today, shovel our walks and set our blue recyclables barrel on the curb while we’re out of town… no strings attached!" The origin of the idiom “no strings attached” is directly tied to 18th century fabric merchants who would mark flaws in woven cloth by tying small strings to the bottom of the bolts at the locations where flaws were present.
D. Jake Roberts: Knowing your left hand from your right
Apparently, you and I are not the only creatures that vary between right- or left-handed dominance. I am intrigued to have learned that numerous critters and birds demonstrate dominant left- or right-handedness, called lateralization. Which one are you? kAmxD :E ECF6 E92E =67E\92?56CD 2C6 C:89E\3C2:?65n $9@F=5 E62496CD 2?5 A2C6?ED 2EE6>AE E@ :?E6CG6?6 2?5 @G6CC:56 2 =67E\92?565 49:=5 E@ HC:E6 H:E9 E96:C C:89E 92?5 :?DE625 @7 E96:C =67E WE92E H2D 2 4@>>@?

D. Jake Roberts: The constant lure of rivers to mankind
William Whipple is quoted as saying, “Rivers are nature's veins, carrying water, the lifeline, to every corner of the earth." It was Henry David Thoreau who said, “Rivers are the constant lure to the adventurous instinct in mankind.” Can you relate? kAmp?5 H92E 23@FE “*@F 42?’E 2C8F6 H:E9 2 C:G6C — :E :D 8@:?8 E@ 7=@H] *@F 42? 52> :E FA[ AFE :E E@ FD67F= AFCA@D6D[ J@F 42? 567=64E :E[ 3FE J@F 42?’E 2C8F6 H:E9 :E]” Ws62? p496D@?Xk^Am kAm#:G6CD 2C6 36J@?5 72D4:?2E:?8] %96J 42?’E C6EFC?
D. Jake Roberts: The L.I.L.Y. Life is a most beautiful life
The view from a treestand reveals many of life’s shades and colors … from the sky, to the trees, to the flowers, to the robins, rabbits, gobblers, chickadees and cornfields. The greys, the greens, the yellows, the reds, the bronzes, the blues, and the hues of the entire spectrum of color choices. I stand in awe. I chose none of them. They simply and powerfully reflect the design and creativity of the Mind whose thoughts are way higher than mine.

D. Jake Roberts: Should we keep our heads out of the clouds?
“Keep your head out of the clouds” is an exhortation to turn from daydreaming and thinking about nonproductive thoughts and fantasies instead of turning to wisdom, reality and practicality.

D. Jake Roberts: We've made our own big mess ... Now what?
What a mess! We’re “in a pickle.” The internet asked, “What did Shakespeare mean by 'in a pickle?' When Trinculo says he is in a pickle, he's probably saying that he is very drunk — but he's also got himself into a mess — a very difficult situation." Or, “we’re in a jam” can mean the same.

D. Jake Roberts: Calculating high risk with its reward
We are surrounded by all sorts of risks and their subsequent rewards. Financial risks, loving someone, heading down a bumpy ski slope, swimming in deep water, eating choices, having children, flying on an airplane, buying cars, houses and groceries, taking a leap, saying yes to a difficult task, stepping outside our comfort zone. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
D. Jake Roberts: Lessons from a solo canadian honker
Something seems slightly amiss in the world of Canadian Honkers. I’m confused. My formal research assistant, Google, alias AI overview, has helped me distinguish between males and females. The good news is that there are no true gender mix-ups. However, my assistant’s attempt to equip me with the knowledge to recognize the distinctives is confusing. The boy goose is called a “gander”. Got it (gratefully). The girl goose (are you ready for this?) is called a “goose”. What?!?!?! kAm$@ ?@H x’> :?
D. Jake Roberts: Ravens and lilies to be considered
We noticed ravens on our drive up the Big Thompson … they were big, black and bodacious! I’m captivated by lilies … especially those big white ones that fumigate the entire house and church sanctuary. I’m also a fan of Asian and Tiger lilies. Lily is a reminder for me of the acrostic L-Lord, I-I, L-Love, Y-You.
D. Jake Roberts: Noticing the moon, stars and love of money
As many of you, I’m captivated by the sight of the moon each month as it dances through its eight phases. It cycles from new moon (all dark) to the next new moon every 29.53059 days, or 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes (spaceplace.nasa.gov). It always reminds me of Jesus, Creator God the Son. (John 1:1-14). kAmx ?@E:46 E96 >@@?’D 3C:89E?6DD 52:=J 2?5 :ED AC65:4E65 E:>6D E@ C:D6^D6E[ 2=@?8 H:E9 :ED A92D6] p=D@[ x =62C?65 E92E =F?2C C@E2E:@?
D. Jake Roberts: Routine, unusual adoptions, and rescue
Today, I sat in our county courthouse for an open adoption proceeding. A young 9-year-old boy walked in with one last name and walked out with another. But, it wasn’t simply a name-change. It was a full-out adoption. He became a legal heir and I struggle to express the overwhelming joy I witnessed as 32 supporters, crammed into one of the smaller courtrooms, burst out in applause and cheers as the judge loudly slammed down the gavel as the finale.
D. Jake Roberts: The lead goose has its wings full
This week yielded a day with hours of very strong and constant wind gusts from the west. It stripped the few remaining leaves that had been stubbornly clinging to their mother branches. The wind won this tug of war. Consequently, I worked at ridding our yard of its last leafy downfall. kAm%96 D<J H2D 7F== @7 7=@4<D @7 866D6[ 3=24<3:C5D 2?5 7=J:?8 C2ED W2 4CF56 ?:4<?2>6 7@C A:86@?D … H9:49 92G6 364@>6 2 D:8?:7:42?E =@42= ?F:D2?46 E@ =2C86 D:8?D[ C@@7D[ 3FD:?6DD6D[ 5@H?E@H? 3F:=5:?8D[ 8C@H:?8 8C2:?

We are not yet finished … until we are. We learned that we were to finish what we started. It ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings. Home-building requires skilled finish carpenters. Varnish represents the finish coat.
D. JAKE ROBERTS: Trusting, knowing God's will for you
Know that God’s will is not some secret being hidden from you. It’s not complicated.

D. Jake Roberts: It's raining, wet, wonderful, welcome water-drops
“Pitter-patter pitter-pat. I’m Just singin’ in the rain, what a glorious feelin’, I’m happy again.” Lyrics by Arthur Freed and music by Nacio Herb Brown.

D. Jake Roberts: A surprising definition: 'Orderly arrangement'
My Bible (NKJV) has an approximate total of 770,430 words. I often search original languages to glean more accurate definitions. It was there I uncovered a surprising definition (for me, at least) of a word that occurs in 53 verses of the gospel of John. The Greek word is “kosmos” and it’s translated as “world” in every instance. kAms:77:4F=E:6D 2C:D6 H:E9 G2C:2E:@?D @7 >62?:?8D] %9@F89 “@C56C=J 2CC2?86>6?E” :D 2 4@?D:DE6?E :?E6?E[ E96D6 @E96C G2C:2E:@?D 42?

D. Jake Roberts: Authenticity requires skin in the game
Football fans in the stands ... or fans listening to the game from in front of their Philco radio or watching from in front of their Samsung smart TV … or gathered at the home of friends with a large flag with their team’s logo stationed outside the home waving proudly on display to the neighbors and drivers-by. None of them have “skin in the game.” Or fans that gathered at a local watering hole with other fans to clap, cheer or jeer the efforts of those who do have skin in the game.
D. Jake Roberts: In Texas, they're now saying, 'It's fall, ya'll'
My family is still riding high on the joys of our time in Galveston last week. We saw a fun sign with a southern drawl herald for autumn. It said, “It’s fall, y’all.” Some Canadians and America’s northern folk are exchanging their chilly clime for a warmer one. They’re nicknamed “snowbirds.” kAm%9:D H66<[ 96C6 :?

D. Jake Roberts: Oh, Galveston ... Your waves, winds and sea birds flying
Growing up, it was a catchy tune formed and framed as a woeful love song written and made into a classic by song-writer Jimmy Webb and singer Glen Campbell. The subtle yet poignant song was during the Vietnam War. The narrator talked about cleaning his gun and fearing death while remembering times spent on the beach in Galveston with the young woman he left behind as he shipped out to war. The original lyrics included the line: “Wonder if she could forget me.
D. Jake Roberts: October's bouquet of butterflies and bumblebees
My favorite flourish of flowers this time of year is our overdose of golden and yellow marigolds. They are more than matched by hardwoods boldly vying for woodlands’ bragging rights for flaunting the most beautiful fall colors. Woodlands are splashed with breathtaking brilliant Maple reds, yellows, oranges and maroons. Other October contestants include mountainsides of bright patches of yellow Aspens. Upper Midwest orchards are showing off their share of color as well.
D. Jake Roberts: I sure never knew such a thing existed
Welcome to my Sunday school class. It’s a blessing to have a number of students sitting in from Frontier School of the Bible in LaGrange, Wyoming. They are such a joy to get to know and mingle with. Despite grinding away at their studies during their week at college, they still show up and take in one more teaching session. I appreciate their hunger for the Word of God and their devotion to serve the Lord with gladness.
D. Jake Roberts: Sad, scorched, sizzled alphabet letters
The June 7 Treestand Chatter column was titled “Slimy, slippery, gooey-fast nightcrawlers.” In it, I contemplated the genius of Creator God who designed a below-ground earth dweller that greatly contributes to the aeration of our fertile soils and also serves as a scrumptious dinner for astute Robin Red-Breast predators feeding amid our homes’ lawns. Nightcrawlers also serve as terrific fish-bait and are a hoot to catch during wet nights wiggling through our bare toes and not so fast hands.
D. Jake Roberts: Does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
The year I was born (1944), The Merry Macs generated a catchy little tune for an album they titled “Mairzy Doats.” The lyrics: “Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?” Give it a try and a smile. We actually heard, “Mares eat oats and does eat oats but little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?” A little research revealed that little lambs do indeed eat ivy. Yes, some shepherds feed ivy to stimulate appetites in sick animals.
D. Jake Roberts: Magnificent mass-migration instincts
The soon-to-arrive frigid days of late fall arouse God-given instincts in waterfowl. Four types include swans, ducks, geese and teal/mergansers. Big birds such as Sandhill cranes, which gather in massive numbers in Nebraska’s Platte River Valley each spring, as well as Bald eagles, Great blue herons and massive white pelicans are another example of large migratory birds.
D. Jake Roberts: The repertoire of reptile routines
What extraordinary creatures and creations by God are reptilia. Reptiles are cold-blooded (ectothermic) vertebrates that typically have scaly skin and have brains identified as R-complex, thought by scientists (there’s always somebody poised to study anything and everything) to be responsible for basic, instinctual behavior. I admit to being a bit edgy around a number of them. For the most part there are four classifications. They each have their own, unique repertoire of daily routines.
D. Jake Roberts: Days of Labor and preparing for Autumn equinox
What is happening? September has pushed us into its annual readiness for temperatures to drop from sizzling to cooler, calling for a great sigh of relief. In Phoenix, my daughter’s family is on the brink of being able to open shiny, metal automobile handles without wearing gloves or cloth to avoid being scorched. They also got hit by a monsoon this past week and though they were spared, still some 54,000 homes were without power at one point and as of Wednesday, Aug.
D. Jake Roberts: Attention-getters and fixing one's eyes
A large, black feral cat roams our neighborhood at night. A few years back, we also had a couple cottontails frequenting our backyard. One day I noticed one of them lying flat in the middle of the mowed grass. It had constructed a depression to lie in. Aha! I deduced it’s building a nest. I always thought they did that in thick, tangled bushes. Apparently not. The depression deepened as she gave birth to six hairless, blind babies.
D. Jake Roberts: It's emerging time for shells and cocoons
It’s emerging time for shells and cocoons. Or not! That is, not if you’re a mollusk (snail, clam, oyster), or a turtle or sea urchin. Foods such as eggs, nuts and coconuts all have shells that don’t emerge from a cocoon state. Interestingly, crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimp and crayfish) periodically “shed” their “shell,” but it’s more accurate to call theirs an exoskeleton. This particular hard outer-covering doesn’t grow with the crustacean.
D. Jake Roberts: Tall tales and multi-colored tails
The study of tales is fascinating. Some studies list three basic types — myths, legends and folktales. Some say four — fables, fairy, legends and myths. One says 13 — allegories, anecdotes, epics, fables, fairy, folk, ghost stories, horror stories, legends, myths, parables, tall tales and urban legends. I’m landing on tales called “tall” — fabricated untruths intending to make the teller sound bigger and better.
D. Jake Roberts: Grasshopper clicks, wings and 5 eyes
There they were. While I was walking outside of church today facing a blistering hot sun overhead, dry earth and enormous heat being reflected from the concrete sidewalk, there simultaneously appeared three dark, drab-olive 3-inch grasshoppers, having just made their way from our adjacent green landscaping. I heard clicks and whirring wings. You couldn’t miss them as their unique and large spring-loaded legs had catapulted them into noisy, brief flights toward the sidewalk.
D. Jake Roberts: Stones have a powerful impact on our lives
Stone research reveals there are three primary categories: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. I didn’t know that. Research is a valuable practice. Fortunately, Google searches contribute to making the task nearly painless. Right-now responses make them a terrific turn-to. Gemstones have two categories: Precious and Semi-precious being valued for their beauty, hardness and rarity. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphire are Precious.
D. Jake Roberts: Bats, bats, bats and belfries
‘He’s got bats in his belfry.” Turns out if that’s spoken about a person it’s not particularly complimentary. It’s an idiom meaning a person is considered eccentric, silly or even mentally unsound. Churches would often have a belfry for a bell, or bells to be hung and rung. I served two churches with a belfry and a large bell. A long two-inch rope was attached to the bell and hung down to within reach near the entrance to the church.
D. Jake Roberts: Home is where the heart is
Where are you from? Where do you live? What nationality are you? What do you call home? In the “Wizard of Oz” old time classic film, Dorothy repeatedly says, “There’s no place like home.” “Every house where love abides and friendship is a guest, is surely home, and home sweet home, for there the heart can rest” as sung by Henry VanDyke. “Our feet may leave home, but never our hearts,” says Oliver Wendell Holmes.
D. Jake Roberts: The practical prominence of a proboscis
Really? So just what is a proboscis? Answer: A proboscis is an elongated appendage from the head of an animal, either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. In invertebrates, the term usually refers to tubular mouthparts used for feeding and sucking. In vertebrates, a proboscis is an elongated nose or snout. In past columns, we considered the proboscis of a mosquito, a small fly with over 3,600 species.
D. Jake Roberts: We're headed to who knows where?
Well, before we head down this road, let’s be crystal clear on what the answer is in advance: My Father knows. Our heavenly Father knows! This is no “que sera, sera, whatever will be will be” kind of matter.
D. Jake Roberts: Slimy, slippery, gooey-fast nightcrawlers
The nightcrawler is one of the most extraordinary and unique of God’s animal creation.
D. Jake Preston: Ahh, a long-awaited day on the river
I was recently asked in an interview what I really longed to do if there was time and availability. My answer, “I enjoy the solitude and allure of catching and releasing large rainbow trout.” Herbert Hoover said, “All men are equal before fish.” Jesus Christ said, “Follow me and I will make you to become fishers of men.” “I’d love to go fly-fishing again. Soon!” Soon was yesterday. Ahh, a day on the river! It had been scheduled for nearly a month, postponed once and finally became a reality.
D. Jake Roberts: Remember me this Memorial Day, please
We “decorate” graves of our loved ones this “Decoration Day." Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day because it was established as a time to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and other symbols of remembrance. This tradition began in the years following the Civil War, as people sought to honor the soldiers who had died in service. Honor is the action word for why we do what we do at cemeteries. Sadly, a gripping grief remains fresh for many of us.
D. Jake Roberts: Eyes that see, ears that hear
In 1697, Charles Perrault penned a famous folk tale with which most of us are familiar. It begins with the typical opener, “Once upon a time …” It’s a tale of a young little girl who was sent by her mother to a nearby village to visit Grandma, who had been ill. The girl was to deliver a fresh cake and a little pot of butter. Along the way she met a wolf … a very hungry wolf intent on eating her up. But he was deterred by nearby woodcutters.
D. Jake Roberts: Weather changes as meteorologists try their best
It’s my privilege to have a friend whose time in the military was spent as a meteorologist. He was responsible for studying and predicting short and long-term weather expectations. It matters to airborne craft. Calculated risks at sea matter. It matters for soldiers on the ground. The weather was a key factor in George Washington’ march on the Hessian troops in Trenton. It was difficult, yet hindered by a nasty winter storm. There was no meteorologist to assist their decision-making.
D. Jake Roberts: Apparently, the time of singing has come
It’s springtime in our neck of the woods. Migration is pretty well a bygone. There are over 5,000 species of “song birds” and their time has come. Geese, buzzards, ducks, crows, ostriches, chickens and turkeys are not among the class of gifted singers. However, they each have their distinct and unique languages of being honkers, quackers, cawers, cluckers, crowers and gobblers, but they aren’t songbirds.
D. Jake Roberts: A joy-filled Easter L.I.L.Y (Lord, I love you)
It’s Easter and much can be said. It’s tomorrow, April 20, and the next time it occurs on April 20 will be the year 2087. So much of life and faith are centered in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s about Palm Sunday, Holy Week, Passover … Easter. Our entire solar system and our life on earth are dependent upon our Sol … the Sun. Easter’s actual date changes annually and officially falls on the first Sunday after the full moon that follows the spring (vernal) equinox.
D. Jake Roberts: Birds, animals, fish, us .... Clean & unclean
When I was growing up, the verb “clean” when it comes to fish, always meant they had to be cleaned. So, we made sure any scales were scraped off and the innards were removed and disposed of properly. The Bible addresses and identifies His created animals, birds or fish that were categorized as clean or unclean (nouns). It was permissible to eat the clean and unlawful to eat the unclean. Noah had the duty of welcoming a male and its mate of every clean and every unclean animal onto the ark.
D. Jake Roberts: A platypus isn't the only odd one
Thank you for praying for our family in the death of my wife’s brother this week. He is the first of seven sibs to pass away. While waiting in a Dallas, Texas, hotel lobby, there was a special on TV about the platypus. I was captivated. Have you ever seen or pondered how unique, odd and strange-looking they are? Wildlife biologists certainly have my respect. To devote themselves to the detailed study of virtually every created animal, bird and fish requires a special drive and passion.
