Yesterday we gave you some Bible verses from the Old Testament about children. Today we wanted to explore the subject further in honor of Children’s Day on May 5th, but with passages from the New Testament. In 2 Timothy 3:14-15 we are told of the joy of learning early about the Salvation from Jesus: 14 […]

It’s Spring on the farm & we’re working hard, but never to hard to contemplate the words of the Bible. Recently we decided to investigate what Jesus himself said about farmers & farming. We found these verses to be particularly relevant to our profession & we thought they may speak to you too, whether you

Kauai is luck to have the first Hawaii exhibition of the amazing work of Sean Kenney. It runs from May 6 to July 10, so there’s plenty of time. Of course Mother’s Day would be a perfect time to visit, or Father’s Day, or really any day is splendid for getting out in nature & viewing

Mothers of twins have a special joy & a special burden. So it was for Rebekah, wife of Issac who we talked about in yesterday’s post.

But what about mothers?

Crossroads Christian Fellowship’s Ohana Camp is just around the corner. Ohana means family, & this camp is for everyone, singles, couples &, of course, whole families. It’s a great opportunity to get away from it all in a supportive & worshipful atmosphere — plus it’s just darned good fun. The camp is at the beautiful

Of course we all love our mothers. And love of your mother is just one of the many many lessons of Jesus as well. On Kauai there is a tradition that we think could do well to be expanded — instead of getting mom cut flowers that die, why not a living plant that can

We love our library at Princeville. They have so many great events for all ages, but especially for kids. One of those that’s especially exciting is Free Comic Book Day. If you have a Hawaii public library card you get a free comic book of your choice (while supplies last, of course). We think that
