    Video: How to Make Your Own Pure Stevia and Liquid Stevia

    Pray for America – Every Time You See Our USA Flag

    We’re having a great Sunday here today.  The weather is perfect for a July summer day. On the way to church I saw a HUGE, American flag waving in the wind.  It was so beautiful and grand!

    Gardening in Kansas – Diy Gardening Bench Workstation

    It can be a gardener’s dream to have your own “Gardening Bench Workstation“… I used to have all my pots and tools here and there, but for 2014 my goal has been to get my house in order and organized. I had been wanting my own gardening workstation for quite awhile, but if you’ve ever priced those, they can be quite expensive. So I prayed about this and awaited to find something that I could turn into my dream gardener’s work area. *Disclaimer: I’ve used my Amazon referral links in this post. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a Baker’s Rack at a garage sale….for ONLY $10! I…
