I stopped in to check out the 1st Annual Milam County Nature Festival this morning. I was early so not everybody was set up — I did get to see the snakes (one rat snake and one copperhead). I stopped and talked to the organic gardening folks and picked up … Continue reading →
I downloaded Rooms to my Kindle app from Amazon’s while it was available as a free download. The cover looked good, and the description sounded interesting. I guess if I were familiar with Ted Dekker’s House, I wouldn’t have been so surprised by this book, but I’m not, so I … Continue reading →
