Struggling with Hardship

December 8, 2017 by greatsouthernjeff Leave a Comment

We’ve just had a cold wet week (about to become a very hot weekend) in the middle of harvest.  Which means that harvest stops, the condition of the crops may deteriorate, volumes reduce, and the return for the year’s work diminish.  These are the realities of farming, and when these things happen, it produces a … [Read more…]

Do Christians, Muslims and Jews worship the same God?
