I have never guest hosted before, but it is a privilege to share with my readers No Ordinary Baby, written by my sister-in-law, Jeanne Munton. We celebrated the Munton Christmas at their home this year, and she wrote this just for us. As we sat in a barn filled with hay, lit with electric candles,…
Someone on Facebook posed this question: “If we’re so thankful, why is it that the day after Thanksgiving, we’re all rushing out to get more of the “stuff” that the world says will make you happy?” Good question. We all think, “If I could just have _________, then I’d be happy!” or, “If I could…
Mrs. Turnipseed was in her 80’s when she approached my pastor-husband and exclaimed with great exuberance, “Pastor, I’m so excited! I’ve found a new ministry!” Can you picture that in your mind?

Summertime is here and so are the PEACHES!! There’s nothing like fresh peaches, and a local favorite is ECKERT’S FAMILY FARM.
