Last week, my wife and I were on vacation in Florida. Our daughter, who lives in Tennessee, joined us and we made a week of it.

The first thing we did was pick her up at the airport and then we went straight to The Melting Pot restaurant.

Several years ago, I needed a rim for one of my old tractors. It’s a 1958 IHC 330 loader tractor. After I bought the tractor, I took the loader off and it (the loader) has been sitting in the corner of the shed ever since. We were busy restoring the old gem when we noticed it had a cracked rim on the right rear.

Time – It’s that time of year again – Daylight Saving Time (Saving – not Savings). The clocks go ahead in order to give us more daylight. But we all know moving the clocks around doesn’t add or take away any amount of time. We also know there is no such thing as making time or losing time. Time is constant.

Sanctify them by the truth, Your Word is truth. As You sent Me into the
world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify Myself, that
they too may be truly sanctifi ed, (John 17:17-19). The Bible is our
standard…not what the world says is true. We pray to live by the
guidelines of the Bible.

Digital communication has its advantages. Text messaging is easy and convenient. Convenient because you can choose to answer when it’s convenient for you to answer. Of course, anything can be read into any text message at any time.

I was on an airplane a few days ago flying home from Florida. My seat was a window seat in row 7. I’m never in a hurry to board the plane because once you get on, you are stuck in there for the next three or four hours with hardly any room to move, walk or stretch.

The National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky will take place at the Kentucky Convention Center from Wednesday, February 15 through Saturday, February 18, 2023.

Business professionals from around the world gain knowledge and hands-on access to various technological advancements needed for the upcoming farming season during the four-day show.”

FCFI had a great time at the 2023 Virginia Farm Show at Fishersville, VA, and we were thrilled at how the event unfolded.

27 people prayed to receive Jesus into their hearts and lives.
The vendors around us were terrific.  The host of this event was Lee Publications, who also hosts the Keystone Farm Show and Empire Days that FCFI attends.

The nurse came in and said “Doc, there’s a man in the waiting room who thinks he’s invisible.” The doctor said, “Tell him I can’t see him today.”

Please pray for the family of Ginny, who passed away on the
4th of January with cancer. Ginny has been FCFI’s printer along
with her daughter and husband Gary, (who passed several
years ago with cancer). Please uphold Melissa and her siblings
in your prayers.

A few weeks ago, I went on a one day road trip to Kokomo, Indiana. I don’t follow a map anymore – just my GPS. The beauty of GPS is that if you take the shortest route, you usually end up on the backroads somewhere.
