The blueberry season is doing very well here in Tennessee. They say that if the rain continues like it is, we’ll be eating blueberries through mid August!
Well, that’s certainly what we’ll be doing; we picked 5 1/2 gallons!
It was early Saturday morning when we set out with our friends to ‘raid’ the blueberry farm, not [...]

All very intense, very dark and mysterious…
A warning to you if you ever find yourself playing checkers with Nate. Prepare to be creamed.

Today is John Calvin’s 500th birthday!!!

There is much that could be said about Calvin – his life, his theology, and his enduring legacy (which we benefit from today). Calvin was arguably the most influential man of his millennium! And his doctrines of God’s sovereignty, human depravity, and Grace STILL edify and instruct [...]
