This week Ray laments about how often in life we have eyes that do not see the treasures that are right in front of us.

This episode of Idle Chatter aired in the early days of the podcast. The introduction and audio are a little different from what I use today. The information is timeless, foundational, and just as relevant to your success.

Please join me as we talk with Nathan Rand in Marshalltown, Iowa. He is a farmer but more importantly, a large animal veterinarian.  Nathan honors not only God’s creation with his care and love for them, but also becomes a lifelong friend to the farm families he interacts with. Being a devout follower of Christ, his story is a testament in trusting the Lord when nothing makes sense and life is taking a path that is filled with sorrow and confusion. 

1. Nathan helping to feed a young calf at home. The calf had difficulty suckling, so Nathan is administering colostrum via tube.
2.  A cute calf out of the cow named “Friend.”  Getting a scratch!
3. Nathan placing a castrating band on a bull calf at home while brother keeps him safe from kicks!
