Chicken Talk

As I previously mentioned, the G's have chickens. Not only do we have 3 full-grown ones, but they acquired 4 chicks a number of weeks ago. The kids loooooove to check on both; the chicks are downstairs and the full-grown hens are outside in a coop. They check to see if there are eggs, and are constantly asking if they can hold the chicks. A few weeks ago, their wish came true.

By the way, I was trying to come up with a clever title for this post....and Googled "sayings about owning chickens." This clever site came up with all sorts of chicken talk. I'll give you one cheesy one:

"What the hen said when she saw the scrambled eggs......my children are all mixed up!"

And this is what ensued....

Sheep Farm:: Blue Bell, PA

Dear friends of mine live on a farm. Their landlords own a beautiful home that sits back from the road in this gorgeous part of Blue Bell, PA...and they raise sheep. It's something quite awe-inspiring to see - tiny lambs that grow into sheep, much like watching any small animal grow. My friends are moving to a nearby town in a few weeks, so their days on the farm are numbered. A few weeks ago, I went over for what is likely to be my last trip to the sheep farm. My friends have loved living on the farm. We talk about the 'quaint' life and how much fun it is to walk outside and be greeted by the sheep as they leave for work, or to be a small part of the process when the lambs are birthed.

I've previously posted pictures of sheep from a farm in Leyden, MA - a farm that I wish were closer so I could frequent it. I'd love interacting more with Kristin, and of course seeing the ebb and flow of a farm with numerous farm animals. The beautiful mountains that are its backdrop are most inviting as well!

I digress.

Take a look at some of these pictures from the sheep farm in PA.....

Dr. Gupta:: Impacting India

I remember first hearing about Dr. Gupta after my friend went and spoke in India this past summer. She returned and talked about the work being done in India. Dr. Gupta came to the US about two weeks ago and is traveling around meeting people and sharing his vision. One of his stops was to meet some people at Cairn University. I had the opportunity to meet him and take his picture.

Dr. Gupta is the president and director of Hindustan Bible Institute and College in Chennai, India. They train and mobilize people to minister to the people of India.

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Gupta; I hope one day to travel to his beautiful country and meet his people.
