The Farm Chronicles: Three strand chord
My mother’s last words when Dad and I were getting in the truck were, “Carl, don’t you and Bill run that ribbon race.” We were going to an all-contest horse show in Orville around July 1969. All-contest means all the events are timed, fastest horse and rider wins. “That ribbon race” referred to by my…

Read MoreThe prophetic implication of Passover and COVID-19
Passover, the feast of salvation, begins tonight at sundown. As many around the world and those of us in America are locked down in our homes, we can’t help but notice the similarities to the time when the Israelites were told to stay in their homes; sacrifice a lamb without blemish; take of its blood…

As Christ said in Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so…

That’s right. I don’t have COVID-19. And, yes, I believe that God has protected my family and myself from it. But I am sick of a couple of other things.
