Isaiah 61:3 They will be called “Oakes of Righteousness,” a planting for The Lord. This above scripture speaks volumes to me about our sons, and the way in which they were raised. Since I AM THE ERSTWHILE ACORN…..God gave me the above special scripture about my boys one morning, as I was seeking Him through His Word. April the 16, 2020: It was not only a day of hard…
Toilet Paper Vanity Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land, and will strengthen your frame.

DRIVE THE TRACTOR! PLOUGH THROUGH IT! You’ll Come Out Stronger On The Other Side. Psalm 112:7 He will have no fear of bad news. His heart is steadfast trusting in the Lord. This scripture sounds good doesn’t it? It’s great to say, ”I’ve been through a lot. I’m a survivor. The suffering defined me and I’m a strong woman.” It’s all true. I am a very strong woman. However, I still have a lot of fields to plough. My husband and I both have grown a lot together in 46 years. Here…

The day the Embassy was opened, Pastor Jeffers stated the…
I AM A PRISONER! Live Worthy Of Your Calling. Eph .4:1-6 As a Prisoner for the Lord, then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle.

GOD IS GENTLE AND HOLDS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 2 Samuel 22:31 The Word of God is flawless. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.

THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing. Too bad it didn’t soak in until I was 50…
DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED. Sean Hannity: Fox News Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. If you follow my blogging, you must know that I am a Christian Conservative. Fox News is the only network that doesn’t have the unhinged left attitude. Nightly, we watch Sean Hannity, whom is severely, hated by the left. In my 69 years, I have never seen such hate lashed out at a President, and fellow Christians. Believe it…if you are a true Christian, you are under attack. I believe that…

Last week, I relayed to all of you, how Colonel Grandpa touched our lives. When he came to us, an entire, new era began to blossom upon the farm. Not only did my farmer have an extra dairy/field hand, but also a mechanic, construction worker, vet, and Ag Researcher. He introduced so many new venues of farming, that I couldn’t begin to name them all: chisel plowing, drilling soybeans, rolling hay, a new tractor and kick bailer and …..Growing Potatoes. When he brought this new idea to us, we thought he was joking. One afternoon in the early…

When your mothers of boys and wives of 2 workaholic men, Girlfriend Time is essential. Now before I begin my story, I must explain many meanings contained within this picture. Extravagant Grace and Fearless Faith ,are the names that God endowed to us, during our spiritual journey. She’s wearing Ladybug slippers because she is God’s precious One…like a Ladybug. That entire story will be explained within my book, The Erstwhile Acorn . That…
Kids on the farm lead a totally different lifestyle than other children. They have the freedom to create with nature. However, with boys, creativity always takes on a different form. One summer afternoon, about 35 yrs. ago, my six and four year old sons were playing out in the rain. A heavy storm had come upon the farm and left tremendous puddles in which they were playing . It didn’t take long for me to figure out that they were rolling around in the puddles and throwing mud balls at one another. It’s a farm. All I did, was…
