Number 56 on my bucket list

Skydiving was on my bucket list. It’s number 56, in fact. I kind of had it penciled in for the summer of 2015, and then my best friend turned 40 and decided that’s what he wanted to do to celebrate. BINGO!
Weeks leading up to the event I was pure bottled excitement and eager anticipation.
As the day drew closer, I started to feel my excitement turn slightly to nervousness and the night before, I was progressively overcome by sheer, paralyzing terror.

Former Judge Executive says Ark Encounter is beneficial for county

As former Judge Executive of Grant County, I'm thrilled to hear that the Ark Encounter had an excellent first year and that businesses that cater to Ark tourists are booming. I hope to be seeing additional hotels and restaurants being built in Williamstown and then watching the kind of economic benefits that Dry Ridge, with its many tourism amenities, has been experiencing.
I'm also happy to know that as a result of the Ark's financial success, the tax burden on Grant Countians will be lessened.

Curing potatoes, onion, garlic

We harvested some fantastic looking “Red Candy Apple’ purple onions a few weeks ago and it is now time to start digging some ‘Yukon Gold’ potatoes and garlic over the weekend. I am so excited about the garden this year because it is performing so well!   We need to wait another week or so to harvest the ‘Sterling’ and ‘Walla Walla’ onions because tops have yet to flop over…. this allows them to store better. 

The impact of evil, the reality of Christ

The issue: Sin, the results? Search for escape from the reality of the sinful state of mankind.
Our communities are being bombarded by Satan’s lies and deception, forever appealing to the desires of the “natural”, the fleshly desires to satisfy the soul-mind, emotion, and will. Satan, and the evil demonic spirits in this world continues as in the first murder when Cain murdered his brother Abel, in providing alternatives and escape of the truth of the necessity of Christ.
