RANGER BILL for a Thursday, 3/30/2023, deals with sincere prayer:
RB178 Honest Prayer
Bill thinks Henry may be lacking sincerity in his prayer life. He wants Henry to speak from his heart. Bill and Stumpy share the story of Al Ferguson who wanted to help others avoid empty, repetitious prayers. A storm at a church picnic and what followed helped Al make his point.
RANGER BILL for Wednesday afternoon, 3/29/2023 is:
RB177 He Broke Through the Ice aka They Killed Ranger Bill
It’s well below zero in Knotty Pine, but Henry and Freddy decide to go ice fishing anyway. Bill and Stumpy drive out to see how the boys are doing. Some other boys are playing nearby. Bill drives down the frozen river to check on those boys. His car falls into the river, and he doesn’t come out!!! Henry is bitter, and Stumpy is perplexed. Have we come to the end of Ranger Bill and these stories?
RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 12/2/23, is :
RB176 Mike's Horse aka The Horse Test
Mike Baker is a boy in Henry’s club. He has just become a Christian. He loves horses and rides
RANGER BILL begins a new work week this Monday, 3/27/23, with RB175
Knotty Pine’s new water tower has just been built and is ready fill with fresh water for all the thirsty townsfolk of Knotty Pine. But Henry and his buddy Alec want a closer look at this new behemoth before it begins its work. Out of curiosity, the boys decide to climb to the top of the tower. Then curiosity gets them into some real trouble, and they don’t know how to get out! This little escapade turns into a matter of life and death!
This story is also known as "Smart Alec's Water Tank Inspection".Our RANGER BILL for a late Saturday morning, 3/25/23, is a classic:
RB107 Petticoat Rangers
Bill doesn't have enough men for all the work around the national forest. He and his rangers have to work 18 hours a day. Bill has a solution to the problem - women volunteers in the fire towers. The rangers refuse to allow women rangers. Will the rangers work themselves to death or will they give Bill's PETTICOAT RANGERS a chance? Can female rangers do a ranger's work if they get that chance? In my opinion, this is one of the funniest Ranger Bill stories ever! You get to hear some of Stumpy's funniest and most famous lines! And you get to see a little of what life was like back in the 1950's.
