WORDS TO LIVE BY
It’s not about the easy way, it’s about the right way. ‘Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.’ —Matthew 7:13-14

"I realize I don't have many harvests to do. Howard Buffet has the book 40 Chances - and that's about how many harvests we have. God has entrusted us with this ground, and we want to do our best to leave it in a better condition than what it was yesterday."
