Get Your Field Ready
I spent the day working outside. The weather has been marvelously warm for winter and I had some new fruit and nut trees to plant. For many years now we have been constantly planting things that bear. At one time I followed the crowd and put out ornamental and landscape plants. I really didn’t think beyond what I wanted things to look like. When we began our life changes we realized that a person can grow food right in their own yard in the same space that ornamental things grow. Why would we plant a Bradford Pear that is beautiful for about 10 days a year? Why not put out a Bartlett Pear that still has beautiful blooms but also produces fruit? So today, I planted a … Read entire article »

Hear Here!
Many years ago when I taught Sunday School I had a group of young people that I wanted to explain something to. I began by telling them that at this moment there were voices in the room speaking all at the same time. I asked them to listen. We sat in silence for a moment while they cocked their ears around trying to hear what I meant. They all looked around and then gazed at me as if I were crazy. It was exactly the point I wanted to make. I then told them that they couldn’t hear these voices without some help. At that point I pulled out a radio and turned it on. As I … Read entire article »

One the other end I have heard tales of sweet soft butterflies in your tummy, perfect nails … Read entire article »
Walking, Standing and Sitting
Please turn with me to the Book of Psalms first chapter. This book has some very poetic writings and it is known as the song book of God’s people. Often you will see small Bibles that have the New Testament and Psalms. This is a significant book. We had a discussion one time within our family. The question was “if you were limited to having just one book of the Bible for the rest of your life which one would you choose?” More than one member of my family chose the Book of Psalms. I can agree with that. It has one hundred and fifty distinct poems that express great … Read entire article »
Our Daily Walk
Welcome to the message of the week. I trust that you are still faithful to God this week and are continuing in Him. This week I want to share something that God revealed to Angie and me. We have been gardening for quite a few years and have tried to improve our knowledge and abilities. Our goal has always been to grow as much as we can to feed our family and do it in the most efficient manner. We have really learned a lot about gardening. It’s not that we are prideful about it because we did it to fill a need. Never did we try to outdo or … Read entire article »
Proverbs 31:27
“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.” As I began to study and pray over this verse of scripture, the Lord revealed to me that this is not just a simple scripture about being lazy. This is a very serious scripture and indeed a warning to the women of the home. Let us pray for the revelation of the Lord as we study His Word so that we can fully comprehend what He is saying to us. “looketh well” Strong’s H6822 – tsaphah 1) to look out or about, spy, keep watch, observe, watch a) (Qal) to keep watch, spy b) (Piel) to watch, watch closely I find it very interesting that … Read entire article »
