An Unexpected Resting Place
This morning as I was throwing hay to the horses and filling up the water trough, I took this picture of my little house in the woods. It’s a great house. I love the tin roof, the wrap-around porch, the brick walls, and the huge windows that overlook beautiful wooded pastures.

Many people today do not like the thought of commitment. Whether it’s to a spouse, a job, or just a goal, the thought of committing for a period of time seems to scare people.
