July 18, 2011 Filed Under: Current Thoughts, Faith and Family

Three or four times a year we try to do a “Preaching Roundtable.” Kyle (our first-born son) and I and whoever of his brothers is available at the time will meet in a small town about half-way between Riverview, Michigan and Granger, Indiana for coffee, conversation and study.

July 13, 2011 Filed Under: Current Thoughts, Pondering His Creation, What I'm Reading

David Kline is an Amish Farmer. He is from Fredricksburg, Ohio. It seems to me that he writes a book about every ten years. I went to sleep last night reading his latest book, Letters from Larksong.
