A View from the Pew: Yard Work Is the Lord’s Work
I came of age in central Florida where lawn maintenance is a year-round chore/opportunity.

Earlier this summer I wrote a blog post about returning from a trip to Texas with my husband, Nick. While we were in our home state we spent the night with Nick’s family in Houston. We then jumped in our rental car and met my parents for brunch in the tiny town of Hearne as we drove to Waco.
