To Stand a Head Above the Rest…
We have this very special friend, now residing in California, that’s great to have around (especially at a close bowling match ). We received word a few weeks back that “Chip” had no choice but to rest on his head to keep from falling over. Imagining the awful headache, Bruce took it upon himself to create him a stand. We’ve…

A Few Gems From a Treasure Chest
Waiting’s been a theme for me and the Lord for a while, a lesson I’m becoming more and more grateful for as time goes by. This past January, while doing a word study on “fixing” your heart on God, I ‘stumbled’ upon the following verse and quickly grew to love it. Isaiah 30:18 – And…

Murder & It’s Consequence
That fox was back last night and met with an unfortunate, but necessary demise. When I went out to lock up the tractors at about 9:20 I could hear before I was out of the carport that the chickens weren’t calm. (Chickens “announce” when they lay an egg and that’s how they all sounded but…

Time to Celebrate!
Yesterday was my greatly loved brother’s birthday. He’s 22 and that just blows my mind. Why, I’m not sure, but it does. I remember when he was born, the only one born after Daddy went into the Army. I was 4 and thrilled. My grandmother came and picked me up (I don’t remember if my sister went with us or not),…

The Fun of Farm Life
We have this one chicken that’s been in the “hospital” tractor for several weeks now due to an unfortunate run in with a fox in the middle of the night. (The fox actually got into the tractor because of a low spot in the ground. Chickens are soo dumb after dark…) The poor thing lost her…

Clumsiness, Snakes and Seminars
I’m sore y’all… Monday evening upon arriving home I stopped to let the chickens out of their moveable pens (we call them “chicken tractors”) which are in the side-pasture. In my attempt to dart through the electric fence, my flip-flop got hung and I hit the ground. It was a sight, I’m sure! I didn’t…

An Old Poem
I Want To Know You (As You Know Me) Created in Your image, There’s nothing I can hide; You know my every feature, Every thought I have inside. Created for Your glory, Known from the start of time; Your plan for me is perfect, Yet the choice is always mine. I want to…

Over My Head….
Well, I’ve been considering getting this “thing” started for a while, but my time as of late has been at a premium. Life suddenly seems to be settling a little right now, so I thought I would *cautiously* try. You know how it is…priorities, priorities. I’m afraid of addiction. Setting all this up just reinforces how little I…
