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…”
Like A Rock
One of the first things that is done when building a house is to dig down and put a permanent foundation. Christ relates this type of building to obeying the commandments of God. He wants us to have a permanent reference to build upon. Luke 6:46-49 KJV 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, andContinue reading “Like A Rock”
Quenched or Quickened?
On cold winter days when I am going to be leaving the house for a number of hours, I usually get the fireplace piping hot and load it up with some nice green logs. Right before I walk out the door, I will shut down all of the air going in. The fire will continueContinue reading “Quenched or Quickened?”
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”
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!”
Moving God Through Prayer
Hudson Taylor, a young man still in his teens, after answering God’s call on his life to evangelize the empire of China, wanted to know if he could move men through the power of prayer. He set out on an experiment; he would not ask his employer for his pay when it was due him.Continue reading “Moving God Through Prayer”
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”
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”
