Weary

I am sooooo weary of empty words and false promises.   It used to be common practice to wash out the mouth with soap of a child  caught telling a lie or saying a bad word. If that policy was applied today, to adults as well as children, I’ll bet a large portion of our […]

Lambs

Our lambs will be born in April. We plan on keeping four of the ewe lambs to add to our flock. The rest will be sold.  I have been thinking about names for the new babies. The first set of twins will be “Goodness and Mercy”. The second set will be “Grace and Glory”. Giving […]

Lent

It is good to recall  favorite scriptures during Lent.  One of my most favorite is Psalm 107:20 “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
