Getting Pickled
Years ago when I was a boy, my parents would always plant a garden in our backyard. Partly for the joy and satisfaction of planting and watching things grow and partly out of need to provide because of our family’s limited finances.

Experiential Ramblings

Perhaps it’s the…

Dashing Through the Snow
“Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.” Psalm 73:23 ESV I remember vividly coming to mamaw and papaw’s house for Christmas when we lived in Fort Worth, TX, while dad pursued his Master’s Degree (and graduated) from seminary.
