From the Home Place

7/30/25 – We are in the process of refurbishing an old house. Probably not the smartest thing to do at our age, but we are knee deep in it now and can’t turn back. Not only has this project stretched our faith, it has also taught us much about faith. The first order of business was to get some things done on the inside of the house – things like putting in appliances so we could store and cook food, making a place for us to lay our tired ‘ol bodies at the end of the long days, and completely remodeling the kitchen and dining room. Starting with new paint, we reconfigured the kitchen, added new counter tops and backsplash. A new sink and new lighting completed the kitchen for now. The dining room was once a bedroom, so we removed a wall, the flooring and lighting, and after replacing all of that with new, we now have a very comfortable dining room!

You see friends, when we commit our lives to Jesus Christ as our Savior, He begins to remodel our lives in much the same way we have done to this old house. He begins with the inside by removing and rearraigning. He also gives new light and new life to our lives. Sometimes Jesus even has to help us tear down walls, remove stains and replace various habits and ideas. By God’s amazing grace we too can become amazingly new and different on the inside!
