Navigating through 1 and 2 Kings has been a challenging experience for me, especially when I don’t implement the necessary boundaries. One crucial step I took was putting my phone away.  I even had to delete social media from my phone. I realized I didn’t want my device to become an idol. I don’t want […]

It’s still a challenging season on the farm with ongoing construction, the added workload of growing our flock, and the life-and-death lessons of letting a broody mama hen raise her chicks and free-ranging roosters. We’ve even had to put up a sign to help remind the neighbors to slow down and stop intentionally running over […]
