  • A lesson from the life of a farmer

    For a long time I thought farming was an interesting job, something I could never take up. But what I didn’t realize is that I’ve been a farmer all my life. Being a city man, all I thought farming consisted of was putting a seed in the ground, letting nature do its work, and receiving…

  • For His Eyes Only

    A man sat through a church service and then on the way home he fussed about the sermon, he fussed about the traffic, he fussed about the heat, and he fussed about the lateness of the meal being served. Then he bowed and prayed. His son was watching him all the way through this post-church…

  • The Babe

    Well, we found out what the baby will be! And no, it is not a girl this time either. We are having another boy, and I am extremely excited about this one too. The due date stands the same. Just thought i’d inform the rest of the world. So now we are looking at names…aren’t…

  • He Crawls!

    For awhile now we have been trying to get our second son, Timothy, to start crawling. I don’t know why we do this. It is so much easier when the kids stay put, then we know where they are. But they need to advance in their learning so we encourage them to become mobile. We…

  • A Weird Reality

    You know, Christians pray a lot of prayers asking God to speak to them plainly. It’s not a bad prayer. We also ask God to show us who He is. We expect an experience, a moment where God just shines so brightly we can’t miss Him. We also want to hear Him, literally with our…
