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…”
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. Forget about TV’s, phones, computers, cars, and the like; I am talking about things that are basic to living; specifically, I am talking about plumbing. My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”
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”
The Key To Building A House
The ads that have been surrounding me lately have mostly been about what tools to get dad for Father’s Day. As a father, the sentiment is nice. I do like to have nice tools and I am often building things. We have been building our house for close to a year now and progress sometimesContinue reading “The Key To Building A House”
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”
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”
Standing with God
We need Godly men and women who will take a stand against the things of this world. The music, television, games, books, and hobbies this world espouses are entirely against God’s word and have no place for the Christian, however many – if not most – refuse to take a stand against these things. ThisContinue reading “Standing with God”
The breath of God
This year,2024, I want my prayer life to go to the next level. No, I need it to. Lately my prayer life is just going through the motions. There is little power and there are few tears shed. When I read the following passage God stirred my heart to ask for his breath on myContinue reading “The breath of God”
