Countdown 57 hours – First Day of Winter
Okay not even the low number of hours till I’m hugging my Meghan can begin this post. The feature here is, get this, minus 6° (6 below zero) air temp with a WIND CHILL of minus 28 degrees. That’s a wind chill factor of 28 DEGREES BELOW ZERO right now, as I’m writing. Didn’t…

Countdown 80 Hours – a New Day

Time Redeemed

Little Sparkles part two
Wouldn’t you know it? Having just decided on the name of my project here, Her Father’s Homestead, this morning’s message was based on The Lord’s Prayer, which begins with those words familiar to many, “Our Father…” Affirmation, confirmation, call it what you will. I call it Little Sparkles (scroll down to Part One for definition) …
