S.T. And I had been discussing what we understood “Quenching the Holy Spirit” meant and he had related it to a sword smith heating a sword, pounding the metal out, and repeating that process before quenching the metal. He also said there are two ways to quench the metal – oil and water – oneContinue reading “After The Fire”

Stronger For It
Yesterday, a young lady at our church sang a song by the Carr family. I’d like to bring up the chorus and just say that, sadly, I’m not at this point yet…and part of me is scared to say this, but I WANT to be at this place. Make me blindThat I might seeMake meContinue reading “Stronger For It”
Grow Where You Are Planted
Often, we hear this term from family in regards to our going to India. Usually it’s spoken out of fear of the unknown, or even our of just not understanding why we can’t “just be happy here.” but we could. We could be very happy just staying here, growing our farm, setting up our house,Continue reading “Grow Where You Are Planted”
Don’t Get Stuck!
Lately it’s been interesting to watch as people comment only on the cost of debt free living. While it is difficult in it’s seasons, especially as an American who grew up with a multitude of comforts, it also has a “worth it” factor. We are currently experiencing the off grid solar electricity, hauling water inContinue reading “Don’t Get Stuck!”
An American Convenience
In America, and many other parts of the world, there are many things that we use every single day that people – historically – lived their lives without.

My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”
Oh Taste and See!

I have been introduced to some authentic Indian food, and it is rapidly becoming my favorite type; however there is something that is better than any Indian food I have ever tasted. There is something tastier than butter chicken, more savoryContinue reading “Oh Taste and See!”
When Is It Enough?
How much money does it take until you are rich enough? How many times does it take to drink a drink of alcohol until you are drunk enough? How many times does it take to “get high” until you are high enough? When is enough, enough? Jesus when he asked the woman at the wellContinue reading “When Is It Enough?”
Every Second
I spend every second of every day with myself! Everywhere I go, there I am. I know that is a little silly, but it is true. It is also true that every second of every day I am with the God that created the universe. You see, the God of the Bible is an infiniteContinue reading “Every Second”
A Stink in the Air
A few days ago I went into my workshop and noticed the worst odor known to man. I knew instantly what it was and immediately felt the tears raising in my soul. I keep a freezer in the back of this workshop and, because we live on a farm and process our own meat, itContinue reading “A Stink in the Air”
Sentiment
There are few things that are irreplaceable, but the things that matter most to me are the simple gifts that were given to me by the people I love most. My wife loves to give me little notes, and my eldest daughter gives me simple things like wildflowers she picked up on a walk. MyContinue reading “Sentiment”
