I have had three somewhat successful vegetable gardens in my lifetime. The first one was while I was a seminary student in Ft. Worth, Texas. I had two large plots of plowed up ground in the backyard of the house we were renting. The second was when I was the pastor of my first church, about ten miles outside of the community of Crawford, Texas. It, too, was while I was a student in seminary. And the third was while I was pastoring a small country church in Neches, Texas. I had graduated from seminary, but this “farming stuff” was still new to me. 08/29/2024 11:49 AM

Willie Nelson sings “gee ain’t it funny how time slips away”. Karen and I attended a gravesite services the other day and noted that we were the oldest people there. Always before someone from the previous generation would be present, but that time has come and gone. 08/29/2024 11:49 AM
