Today I lost my biggest supporter. She didn’t think I could do no wrong but however offered always positive encouragement. My grandmother was a hardworking person that believed you reap what you sow and prayer changes things. RIP Gran #unconditionallove

Today I lost a man that worked with us for 40 years. He had no education but was a friend and a part of our family. He was a part of a lost generation that cared and was dedicated to hard work. He will be missed, especially by me…

Amidst the turmoil of the world we live in I have found peace and myself. I admitted myself to rehab for alcohol and with God’s grace I am regaining control of my life. 2 months with no alcohol,100 heat and low commodity prices I feel better than I have in 30 years.Amazing Grace!

I am guilty of taking things for granted. I have worried crop deterioration and weather. My daughter who is 7 months pregnant has been diagnosed with COVID. NOTHING matters but your health and nothing else. Please pray for my daughter and her unborn child. Count your blessings
