Waiting for harvest, Waiting this year, Wheat growing golden, Time’s drawing near. Listen? You hear it? Rustling stalks. Waiting for harvest, Wheat fields, they talk. They whisper “It’s coming.

Soybean Harvest 2016
Busy time. Busy place. The field. When a crop has matured and filled and the grain is dry and the plant is too; it is time. Time to pluck up what has been planted. There’s a certain amount of pressure. Work. Work hard. Work well. Work safely. Throw in a dash of haste…but not too […]
Sunset at the Bean Field
Just before evening starts to gather in…. The blue and the beans and the shadows, they brush bold across the canvas of earth and sky and creation sings, silent and swelling, muted and magnificent, rising around in praise to Creator God, bringing pause to whoever will take the time to notice…. I’m so glad that […]
Drilling the Wheat 2016
