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”

Aluminum cans, grocery store plastic bags, orange peels, screws and nails, cardboard boxes, old electricalContinue reading “Don’t Throw That Away!”

Stuffed Mushrooms

During the cold wintertime, it’s so refreshing to come in from the cold and enjoy a hearty worm soup. I have been experimenting with several different potato soups (I would say recipes, but TBH, I don’t use a recipe hardly ever). Yesterday before I ran out the door for work I started a soup usingContinue reading “Stuffed Mushrooms”

Teaching Grace To Your Children

“By strictly enforcing the rules of the household through legislation, accountability, and punishment, you not only teach your children to fear and respect the lawgiver, but you create opportunities to demonstrate grace. What a sacred and wonderful responsibility!” Michael pear in To Train up a Child As a parent, it is my hope that myContinue reading “Teaching Grace To Your Children”
