Thank you for all your prayers and concern. We feel them!

I did it!! I turned 70 years young...and I started something new to celebrate it. You can read all about it here. It's our latest blog post.

Each month, I send out four bookmarks—Scripture-filled, thoughtfully designed, ready to be used however the Lord leads. You might tuck one into a card, pass one to a friend, leave one behind somewhere, or keep them close for your own quiet time and Scripture memory.

Our latest blog post...a truss and a servant of Christ have much in common.

Next time you are relaxing in your living room or standing in your kitchen, just look up and ask yourself:What is holding up my roof?Unless you are married to a construction man like I am, or you have ever walked through a building project while it was still in progress, you may never stop to think....

There was a time when I wanted to give up...you can read it here. This is the latest installment for the blog on our website.

As we travel in ministry, we often have the opportunity to stay in bedrooms belonging to friends we’ve just met. We stay in motel rooms. We stay in cabins at camps where we’ve helped build. During one six-month stretch, I counted seventeen different beds we had slept in—each with a bathroom we...

A single wooden pallet, stood upright and lined with landscape fabric, becomes a vertical garden wall that grows 20+ strawberry plants in 2 square feet of ground space.

Most gardeners think they need a large plot for strawberries. In reality, strawberries have shallow roots — only 4-6 inches deep — and actually produce better when grown vertically because fruit hangs free of soil contact, significantly reducing rot and slug damage.

Find a free pallet behind any grocery store or warehouse. Look for the "HT" stamp — it means heat-treated, not chemically treated, and safe for food growing.

Staple heavy-duty landscape fabric across the back and bottom to create planting pockets. Fill with a lightweight mix of potting soil and compost. Plant strawberry starts through the slats from the front, angling roots downward.

Stand the pallet against a south-facing wall or fence. The wall behind it radiates stored heat, keeping roots warmer in early spring and extending the fruiting season on each end.

Water from the top. Gravity pulls moisture down through every pocket — the top row dries fastest and needs the most drought-tolerant varieties. Place everbearing types at the top, June-bearing at the bottom where moisture collects.

One pallet produces 5-10 pounds of strawberries per season once plants are established — typically by year 2. Three pallets along a fence line deliver a steady harvest from a space most gardeners never thought to use.

Slugs and ground-dwelling pests never reach vertical fruit. No straw mulch needed. No bending to harvest. Every berry stays clean, visible, and within arm's reach.

How important is it to have the man or woman behind the scenes? The one that isn't out for recognition but just gets the work done?

Over the years, I have come to deeply appreciate the quiet faith of the tradesman. The man who may not say much in a crowd but whose hands tell a story of skill, patience, and steady work.
