Do you ever feel like you can’t make a difference? Do you ever self-talk, “I’m only one person, what could I do?” “I don’t have ____ like other people have.” Flash, this thinking did not come from God! I know this because it would violate God’s Law of the Farm. I believe God used His …

Come Clean…
Growing up, I don’t remember we had one of these, but I’m sure we did. Everyone had a wringer washer. “Wringer washers were used from the mid-1800s until the 1980s” Google. The wringer washer used a simple process: 1. Water; 2. Soap; 3. Pressure. First, the agitator forced hot soapy water through the fabric removing …
From The Farm: The Scraper

“I Am With You!”
One of my “Go-To” story/verses is found in Joshua 1. God had uniquely prepared Joshua for this time. Because Joshua was the “aide-de-camp” to Moses he had witnessed God’s mighty hand, up close & personal, for 40 years. I think of Joshua as a Navy Seal leader…highly trained & ready for whatever happens. I can …

If You Have Never Gone Hunting Or Fishing…
It begins with being "invited". It's personal. The invitation comes from the heart to share a special experience. The experience found in the quiet, still moments of sitting on a stand or in the boat. Many times the experience begins before daylight...getting into position. It is in those special moments you hear sounds you have …
