Last year. My farmer and College girl where in Haiti on this day. Now they've been again. Here is a re-post of thoughts on Water. One of our most important resources. Do You Have A Decent Source of Water? John 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Water An integral part of our life. Without it; we can not survive.

Will You Help, So They Can Go? Day #24 of Thankfulness
Missions. What do you think when you hear the word? Overseas? Foreign country? For the first 15 years of my life I attended a Methodist Church. Missional in its purpose.

I Will Go Day #25 of Thankfulness
There's been a lot brewing here on the farm for a few weeks. I mentioned last week that there was project we wanted to share. This busy place is always full of ideas and creativity. Sometimes those ideas come to fruition and other times they are mulled over through the years. Deep seeded ideas; longings. One of those a yearning, for my farmer, year after year. Suppressed as chores, and children take precedence over thoughts and dreams. Until this year; when one of those children is married and has a child of her own. Another of those ... View Post
