Michael was facing a logistical challenge. He needed 15 bee hives assembled, painted, and filled with frames, within the next three days. The problem was that it would take him at least eight days to finish by himself. You see, frame building would be a long, tedious process and each box needed four coats of […]

Celebrating Grandpa’s Birthday
We chose a baking theme for Grandpa’s birthday party because he is such an outstanding cook! We have great memories growing up of walking into Grandpa and Grandma’s house smelling the glorious stew ready and waiting to welcome us to West Virginia. Grandpa is the one who taught us how to make rhubarb jelly which […]
Good news from WVDA!
Gus Douglas, the long standing Commissioner of Agriculture in West Virginia reported some good news in his April 2012 update. “In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court last month settled the dispute over ownership of streambeds and stream banks, ruling that landowners, not government, are the rightful owners. President Bob Stallman said farmers and ranchers […]
“Never Again”
The US Congress has set aside this day, April 19, as our nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust. Pray for Israel, as her people remember the past and as the leaders of the nation make decisions for the future that will affect you and I. If you haven’t already, we can also recommend visiting flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com […]
Celebrating and Celebrating and Celebrating Mom’s Birthday!
We are so blessed to have a virtuous mother! Her dedicated love, hard work, and God-honoring life style are a testimony to all! What a joy to honor her on her special day. In fact, there was more than one celebration of her birthday this year! The first was at the Neely’s with the most […]
Centennial
1912 was an interesting year. For one thing it was the year of the Titanic. Today marks the 100th year anniversary of its propitious launch. Who could have guessed what would happen four days later? It has been said that no historical subjects have attracted such long-lived popularity as the first coming of Jesus Christ, […]
Stepping on nails
As the United States Supreme Court heard the case against government controlled health care less than two weeks ago, over 4,000 freedom-loving Americans rallied in Washington DC and let their voices be heard. It appears federal government thought it could nail down its absolute control over every last corner of our lives and decisions, no […]
Resurrection Morning!
At 6:30 this morning, we all quietly and quickly got out of bed and climbed up the hill to have our Wisdom Search during the sunrise. Because it was April 8 we read Psalm chapter 8 which turned out to be a very fitting passage for this day of remembrance for the resurrection of our […]
In All Thy Ways . . . Lean Not . . . !
There were two trees needing taken down. They stood on the edge of our property near a road. Thankfully both trees leaned inward, towards our property, one slightly downhill—that would be a simple cut—the other slightly uphill—that would be a different story. Soon the first one was down. It lay facing the southeast. We would […]
It was a Fabulous Family Get-together
I was going to title this “North Carolina FEW Conference” but decided “Family Get-together” was a good description of the exhilarating weekend we were blessed to be a part of last month. Families, overflowing with a desire to live for the Lord and seek Him, came together to encourage each other toward this goal! It […]
