It's the most
wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas, silly!
I don't have to shop for this, gift wrap anything, or send a

Shine on, Harvest Moon
It's hard to believe after the storms of the weekend, the flash flooding on our already soggy fields, the sight in the sky tonight. It was the most beautiful harvest moon, complete with the "man in the moon" marks. It truly showed God's beauty and grace. It gave a peaceful... Read More »
