In the 22nd chapter of Genesis, Abraham proclaims the faithfulness of God to provide by calling Him;    Jehovah-Jireh (Gen. 22:14):   a Hebrew name that literally means; The Lord will see to it.  We would say The One Who provides.

In the past couple of years, this truth has taken on new significance for me and my family.  Since our call to full time Missions work; my family has been asked of God over and over again to take brave and bold steps of faith.  And each time I feel the need to

This was my first attempt to plant a cover crop for winter. I had no idea how beneficial a cover crop could be for your soil, particularly rye:
