A New Chapter
Sunday Morning. Memories. Decisions. Going to church was difficult this morning. The past week has been hard on our congregation with two funerals in one week.

Farming Memories
A couple of Wednesdays ago; was a surreal day for me. We have essentially retired from the Farming Business, but it will always be a part of us. Still we have some maintenance that we do physically have to do with our properties like mowing. On this day we needed to get Dad to the…

Memorial Day 2026
Right after the movie “USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage” came out I bought it. The ship was named after the capital of my home state. It was also a true story although it was hollywood-ized for the big screen. This ship was on a secret mission that would assist in ending the 2nd theater of…
