It’s Spring again- the time of new beginnings, of starting, of growing, of changing. The winter has been long and dark, and the sunshine feels glorious and warm. I can’t get enough of it. There are birds singing, and the yaks in the pasture on the other side of the barn that sits near our…

It is finished
by Lanier on April 10, 2009 in Singleness & Trust
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the Temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.” When He had said this, He breathed…

Hanging Out the Washing (part two)
by YLCF on April 8, 2009 in Kitchen & Garden
by Ruth Wiechmann (continued from part one) What about the washing? Before dirty clothes are ready to hang on the line, they have to be washed first. In my world, clothes come in dirty.
