Another below freezing night, old man winter doesn't seem to want to go to sleep. Normally I wouldn't mind but when you have hundreds of seedlings in your office (No greenhouse yet) it is getting a little crowded. I now have a neighbor to supply me with farm fresh eggs as my chickens are free roaming and every day is like a Easter egg hunt. My cat Tina has decided to be my gopher cat and eats them head and all, that is after torturing them for about an hour (yuk). Myles is doing great and is excited about the last day of school (of course) on May 30. I can't believe that he is going into HIGH SCHOOL this year. Kids are like puppies sometimes, you just wish that they could stay little for a while longer. We got some new additions to the farm yesterday, the ones with the puffy heads are the polish chickens with the funky hairdo's. It sure is wonderful not having ANY dark clouds hanging over our heads, just beautiful sunrises!
Love to all

Saturated in Love
Thursday, May 01, 2008
Where God's love is there is no fear, because God's perfect love drives out fear.
1 John 4:15
We fear rejection, so we follow the crowd. We fear no fitting in, so we take the drugs. For fear of standing out, we wear what everyone else wears. For fear of blending in, we wear what no one else wears. For fear of sleeping alone, we sleep with anyone. For fear of not being loved, we search for love in all the wrong places.
But God flushes those fears. Those saturated in God's love don't sell out to win the love of others. They don't even sell out to win the love of God.
Do you think you need to? Do you think, If I cuss less, pray more, drink less, study more... if I try harder, God will love me more? Sniff and smell Satan's stench behind those words. We all need improvement, but we don't need to wood God's love. We change because we already have God's love. God's perfect love
GREAT pics! I can't believe Kaitlin is GRADUATING this year!! Off to college. OUCH that hurts. Much love and continued prayers for all! ~k8
A Hardy Faith
Monday, May 05, 2008
“There is joy in the presence of the angels of God when one sinner changes his heart and life.”
Luke 15:10
Our faith is not in religion; our faith is in God. A hardy, daring faith that believes God will do what is right, every time. And that God will do what it takes—whatever it takes—to bring His children home.
He is the shepherd in search of his lamb. His legs are scratched, his feet are sore and his eyes are burning. He scales the cliffs and traverses the fields. He explores the caves. He cups his hands to his mouth and calls into the canyon.
And the name he calls is yours.
He is the housewife in search of the lost coin. No mater that he has nine others, he won’t rest until he has found the tenth. He searches the house. He moves furniture…All other tasks can wait. Only one matters. The coin is of great value to him. He owns it. He will not stop until he finds it.
The coin he seeks is you.
WOW, and when you think YOU are insignificant! Hope all is well. We're enjoying a beautiful spring. Much love to all! AND continued prayers.

Heaven Came Down
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
“I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
John 6:38
This is no run-of-the-mill messiah. His story was extraordinary. He called himself divine, yet allowed a minimum-wage Roman soldier to drive a nail into his wrist. He demanded purity, yet stood for the rights of a repentant whore. He called men to march, yet refused to allow them to call him King. He sent men into all the world, yet equipped them with only bended knees and memories of a resurrected carpenter.
Has it been a while since you have seen him? If your prayers seem stale, it probably has. If your faith seems to be trembling, perhaps your vision of him has blurred. If you can’t find power to face you problems, perhaps it is time to face him.
One warning. Something happens to a person who has witnessed His majesty…One glimpse of the King and you are consumed by a desire to see more of him and say more about him.
Hope you all are enjoying the spring! It's a beautiful spring day and I'm off to run! Much love and continued prayers for all! ~k8
