A Very Merry Christmas Blessing from Our House to Yours!
Christmas Greetings to you and yours! I hope this finds you well, and I pray it finds you worshipping. It's my ongoing experience that unless we are intentional about guarding our faith throughout the Advent season, the activity surrounding it can steal the present tense joy of the greatest gift of all-- Immanuel, God with Us! Let's be careful not to let it happen. Our grown
Marking Us Safe
Hey y’all! It took a few days, but the beloved farmer and I have officially marked ourselves safe from Pops and Keggie Kamp 2020. That’s a joke, people. Kinda.

Hungry is a Mighty Fine Sauce!
Okay, I can't stand it. I've got to stop and tell y'all more about the project I'm working on called Hungry is a Mighty Fine Sauce.
