Well, today, Mother's Day, I preached what I expect will have been my last sermon in Minnesota. The title was, quoting from Isaiah 61:1-3 "He has anointed me...& YOU!"

Do chickens eat ticks? Good question, do you know the answer? No. I moved from an area of no ticks or rattle snakes to a tick and rattle snake area. I’ve been letting my chickens free range and I’d like to think they are helping with the tick problem. The neighbor said cats are good for snake contr...

Good question, do you know the answer?

Every Mennonite church I’ve been around teaches 1 Corinthians 11. People who leave consistently find their “freedom”, not due to a lack of teaching, but by finding false teachings that 1 Corinthians 11 doesn’t actually say what it clearly does.

This may be a good thread to revive the reasons why women cover their hair/head. I am surprised to see many former Mennonites that I once knew leaving this behind as they seek "freedom". I understand the strictures of the Anabaptist fellowships and even their reasonings for doing thing as ...

It’s nice you have plenty of flat yard space. You’ll have to watch for snakes. More bugs, too. :P Not near as cold as MN, tho. Snakes are more prevalent for sure and ticks are a way of life... Snakes are as afraid of us as we are of them, ticks not so much... :shock: We had both dogs and cats that ...

Our campsite had been near a lake but the monsoons had us moving as the lake overflowed its banks. High and dry is a good thing in camping so we moved to a different campground. Life on the road is never boring. Well, where we are moving to we will definitely be high and dry and we are in flood zon...
