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, …

Law of the Farm: Is Your Soil Friendly?
It depends on what you want to harvest. But first, why is this important? The soil condition or pH measures the acid – alkaline levels of the soil. This will determine if the plant can draw nutrients (food) from the soil. Plants, like people, are different. Blueberries & potatoes like low pH acid soil of …
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: A Song of Ascents
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, …
