Gratitude for support as medical concerns continue
Another week has gone by. We have a big beef carcass hanging in our pole barn needing to be cut up and packaged for our freezer. We raised it, so it was a project we knew we would need to get done during these cold months.
Our minds are far from our work, but life goes … Continue Reading ››
Medical concerns mount for Eicher family
A brand new year is before us. What does it hold for us? It is so good we don’t know our future.

Fun and games with grandchildren as family gathers
Supper is over, evening devotions have been said, and everyone has either gone to bed or is showering, reading, or just relaxing as I write this column.

Lovina’s daughter Verena shares her story

We have lots of tomatoes and peppers that I want to use to make spicy vegetable juice. A lot of people covered their plants … Continue Reading ››
