Here we are well into October and we still have a garden! For those living in this area, that's nothing special but for those who lived most of their lives in the North, this is a miracle! Our pepper plants are still putting out flowers and produce. We have lettuce and peas growing. They just don't quit!
In the Bible we are reminded that we will bear a harvest if we don't give up. That's great encouragement for those of us who are weary from doing good. Keep on fighting the good fight of the faith.
There are many things happening around the homestead these days. Let me share a few things with you.
1. We're down to the final week of classes - major papers and projects need to be submitted. this is all in preparation for the next round of classes. It's never too late to go back to school.
2. The boys are enjoying their school experience. Samuel's class visited an apple orchard and met "Danny Appleseed", Johnny's brother. He looks pretty good for his age! Steven will soon be visiting a pumpkin patch! Dad and mom enjoy going with the kids on these excursions.
3. Roger joined the choir. They are preparing to produce a soundtrack for Lari Goss, premier composer of choir music. It's a lot of work; however it's a great way to meet people.
4. Holly has been working with ladies at MOPS (Mothers of preschoolers).
5 Amy is completing her classes and plans to take two more after that. She has officially been accepted at Liberty.
6. Holly's parents are well. They keep themselves busy. Part of their ministry involves taking care of an elderly relative.
