Raising chickens is really such an amazingly rewarding experience and it reaches far beyond any potential monetary gain. As I look back on this journey which began with me worrying for a couple days that they'd survive in mail transit to the day I picked them up (March 12th) from the Post Office, and caring for these little hatchlings that couldn't even see straight to now collecting their eggs and making so many observations of their development along the way. It demanded faith and perseverance and compassion, and tenderness along the way to a depth that I did not expect. I totally recommend it if it's allowed in your town.

I've learned a whole bunch about life, the natural world, and myself in so many ways that I can't even list them all here. A holistic experience? Maybe so. I will say this: It feels like a life changing event and it's one that I wholeheartedly embrace.

(1) Light shines out in every direction and
(2) there is no competition in the Kingdom of Heaven, just harmony.

On this day, I just want to share that I'm thankful to my God who is true and unfailing love, and for the people who came before me. These people who stood up, spoke out, and wedged a rod until the chains cracked and squealed. There's more work to be done, sure, but that gives our generation something to do.

Had to capture it.

You know this world is running wild with no sure destination in mind. Just going and busy at it. We get caught up in it too just trying make ends meet, am I right? But if you have moments where you pause and witness the Lord's glory in peace on display in the day, It's like a gift every time - a brand spanking new gift every day. Of course, waking up is the first gift to us but there are many more to receive in the day.

If you would like to have a relationship with Jesus Christ yourself, feel free to contact me and we will talk and pray together for your deliverance, from this wild disorderly place into the one full of peace and quiet.

The morning glory bloom is pretty all by itself but look at the mystical world revealed in that water drop sitting in this one.

I often find myself with music playing, whether I'm working with my headphones on or the Bluetooth speaker box, dabbling with an instrument, or jammin' the car stereo. It's easy to get caught up in the vibrations of life for an artist of any genre, leading some to break away from what real life is all about in these fields fixed on dreaming and imagination. What truly keeps me going is my savior Christ Jesus, reading the Holy Bible, praying, and trusting in my relationship with the Everlasting Father.

On this journey, I've discovered some pretty amazing tunes that inspire me to live faithfully, remain hopeful, and be mindful of love along the way. This is why I'm moved to share this fine tune I just heard for the first time. It's funny because I've been a Roy Hargrove fan for many years but never heard this song until now and then this live version. Check it out and enjoy!
