Psalm 32-part 1/3 “I didn’t lie to you.” My sweet two-year-old girl said in the most precious voice possible. She knew that if she lied to me, she would get in trouble. She also knew that she did something wrong, and felt the desire to lie about it so that she wouldn’t get in trouble.Continue reading “To Be Clean”

Called To Be Strangers
In the early 1900’s a young girl was facing the question, “Is God calling me to be a witness for him in a foreign land?” She believed that answer was, “Yes.”So, she went to college to learn how to best bring light to a dark and dying world. In college she was faced with anotherContinue reading “Called To Be Strangers”
Lack of Vision
A few nights ago, I was taking the pig slop out to our pigs, and there was very little natural light from a waning crescent moon that hadn’t begun to peek over the tree line surrounding us. I should also note that I had been doing some construction around the house (as I am oftenContinue reading “Lack of Vision”
A Little Neglect
A well maintained park is something to enjoy. I picture in my mine a lawn with fully seeded and nicely cut grass, large shade trees, beautiful flowers, and aesthetically pleasing landscape; maybe a pond, or creek, or fountain near by. There is a lot of work that goes into keeping that piece of ground lookingContinue reading “A Little Neglect”
All We Like Sheep…
The sad reality captured in the words to that great hymn by Robert Robinson, written almost 300 years ago still ring true of us today: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above. The Word of GodContinue reading “All We Like Sheep…”
Problem With Math
I am so thankful that my school days are over. I still love to learn, and I desire structure in that as well, but I am happy that I get to have control over most of that. When I was in college, Calculus II was the most confusing for me. My teacher wasn’t very goodContinue reading “Problem With Math”
Adorned With Character
When you think of a pig, you probably don’t honk about a muddy mess. Pigs are know for wallowing in mud and are considered dirty. If you gave a pig a nice long bath and scrubbed him clean, a few hours later you would find him covered in mud again. Dogs are the same way.Continue reading “Adorned With Character”
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”
Whose Favor Do We Seek?
A friend of mine has been going through a court case recently and certain motions were filed that he does not want to be approved. I was talking to him and as we talked, he was explaining how the judge would approve of this because of this reason, or he thought that this fact didContinue reading “Whose Favor Do We Seek?”
Becoming Good Ground
Springtime has quickly replaced fall as my favorite season, because I love to see the new life that arrives with spring. The cows calve, the goats kid, the chickens start to increase their egg production. Milk comes in freely, my wife and girls starts playing in the dirt doing ‘garden prep’, and the early vegetableContinue reading “Becoming Good Ground”
