Unlike many of the “world’s laws, God’s Law of the Farm is simple and works every time. It has been in existence since creation. It has never failed. And like God’s Word, never changes. The law says, “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7 When my dad wanted to harvest rice in one field, …

God School: “Sleepless”
It’s 3am and you can’t sleep. The question has been creeping up on you for the last few weeks…you can’t seem to shake it. “Is this all there is?” Afterall, you have worked hard and have been very successful. You are respected by your peers. You have achieved financial success and want nothing. People seek …
Will It Be Enough?
I started using “Cliff Notes” in high school when we studied Shakespear & Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. I used Cliff Notes because the material was hard to understand, I didn’t like to read, it took too much time and country boys don’t do things that are not manly. “Cliff Notes” enabled me to gleen enough information …
Who Can Interrupt Your Schedule?
This question came up in a recent BSF group discussion. It’s a very profound question. Whose call will you always take? Who do you give the authority to interrupt your schedule? When we say we don’t have time, is that really true? Will you rearrange your schedule for a doctor, spouse, child, or grandchild? Of …
God School: “I Just Thought I Knew…”
I remember when I thought I had it down…all figured out. I was charting my own course. Poor grades and even flunking out of college after 3 years didn’t phase me. From age 18 – 37, I lived in my apex of brilliance. Failure was just part of the process. My theme song was “I …
God School: Too Big For My Britches…
I can still hear dad’s words, “Boy you are getting too big for your britches.” As I think about it, dad was correcting something deeper than the stupid thing I had done…it was my heart. He saw his son developing an ungrateful & stubborn heart. I do not recall dad getting upset with the things …
God School: 76 Years Ago, Today…
Oh, how I wish I could ask mom & dad some questions. One would be, why… they put my cake, with 3 burning candles in the middle of the yard? As I look back at old pictures many were taken outside. Yesterday our family celebrated my birthday. While I did not have a cake outside, …
God School: “Let’s Take A Walk”
This picture was taken in the deep red pine forest of Northwest Minnesota. The mornings were crisp, a good time to take a walk. No phones, no distractions from God’s creation. A time to be still and know that He is God (Ps 46:10). It’s good to be alone with God. In fact, it’s essential. …
God School: A Standard Of Measurement
Can you image if your builder decided that 10 inches would now be a foot? What if the aeronautical engineer that designed the plane you are flying on used his own values to measure the stress on the wings? Have you ever built something and thought it looked right, but it wasn’t? How did you …
God School: Mail Call
I will always remember “Mail Call” during my Air Force training days. In Basic Training the Drill Instructors would assemble everyone into a group. He would take each envelope, slowly read it, and call out the person’s name. Sometimes he would take extra pleasure in telling everyone who the mail was from or smell the …
