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”

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.

My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”

Oh Taste and See!

I absolutely love food. I am not a small person, so it shows readily. 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!”

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”
