It was a time of high anxiety, uncertainty, persecution, and turmoil. That was what life was like when people and Jesus climbed these steps to the Temple Mount. I learned, when I went to Israel, and took this picture, the custom was to recite from Psalms the “songs of Ascents.” You can find these in …
Law of The Farm: Confidence
This is what a newly planted rice field looked like when my dad finished. After all the work and money, when he pulled the equipment & men out of the field there was nothing to show for it. Or was there? I never saw dad come home from planting all day and worry all night …
God School: Held Back…
What’s holding you back? Is it what others may think? Is it the thought of failure? Is it your past? Could it be the unknowns of the future holding you back? Maybe you don’t feel like you are good enough or have what it will take. These and many more have one thing in common, …
Law Of The Farm: The Supplier Of The Seed
On the Farm we never wanted to run out of seed… never. But we also didn’t want to buy too much seed because we did not have a temperature-controlled storage. One afternoon dad sent one of the men to Alice-Sidney Dryer & Seed Co in Dermott, Arkansas to get a pickup truck load of rice …
God School: Sometimes You Have To Pop the Clutch
In the summer of 1965, my folks gave me a blue Volkswagen (Bug). I loved that car. It was so much fun to drive. It was a simple car. It came with an AM radio and air conditioning. Everything else was manual…that included the transmission. I didn’t need jumper cables when the car would not …

God School: It’s Personal…
I remember mail calls when I was in the Air Force. When my name was called, I jumped up to grab the letter. The first thing I looked for was the return address. Nothing was more important at the moment, Nothing! Love letters are personal. If you don’t know the person writing, then it doesn’t …
Law of the Farm: The Secret Is In The Seed
This is a rice seed. It came from a field where my grandpa raised rice in the 1940’s. It’s pretty small but God uses the least likely to teach His Principles. These Principles are timeless. It’s called Wisdom. Do you find yourself working harder & longer for less? Do you find it harder & harder …
God School: You Got To “Beat ’em” To “Clean ’em”
Friday was one of my favorite days in grade school. Usually, around 3 o’clock our teacher would announce who had eraser duty. Oh, what a privilege to be picked. A classmate & I would take the box of erasers outside to bang the erasers on the screen device removing the chalk from the erasers. I …

Law of the Farm: The Process of Corn On The Cob
Maybe you are like me. I love fresh corn on the cob. If you are lucky enough to get Esau Farms corn, you will be Blessed. It comes right out to the field in a huge sack. Ready for shucking & eating. But the sack of corn didn’t just happen. Did you know, “corn takes …
