Throwback Thursday: Let the Wind Take Hold (2017)
Our minds are like the tallest tree where the heaviest and strongest winds test the strength of the branches. Our thoughts are the many leaves attached to each branch. Some thoughts gladly let the wind take hold of them and send them either soaring in the rush or floating gently down.

Fill My Heart
Have you ever heard a line in a movie which instantly touches every fiber of your heart? For the first time in a long time it happened to me.

ASH WEDNESDAY
Genesis 3:19; Isaiah 61:3; Psalm 103:13-14 “He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.

The Vinedresser
There is a lot involved in being a Vinedresser. It’s a year-round job that requires pruning skills, constant monitoring and evaluation plus the knowledge of all the pests which could possibly attack and ruin the fruit.
