Forgiven!
New Zip Line Installed
The past couple of weeks I have been working the back acre to clear it of underbrush and have removed 18 trees. All this is to create a outdoor play area for the grandkids and the children of guests. No need for boredom when there is fresh air. So far there is a tire swing…
The J.O.Y. Principle
Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’…
