 The Latest Buzz Minimize
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  Psalms 34:8

"The kind of seeing that Satan cancels and God creates is more like spiritual tasting than rational testing.

"This kind of seeing is not the circumstantial interference that the brown fluid in the bottle with the wax comb must be honey. Rather this seeing is the immediate knowledge that it is honey because of putting some on the tongue. There is no series of arguments that awakens the certainty of sweetness. This is what seeing light means."

-John Piper

"Well the weather outside is STILL  frightful . . . .  " 


We thought we were coming back to warmer temperatures after visiting Becky at college last month, but it seems the cold arctic air followed us home!  If that be the case my apologies to all who are bundled up staying warm these below freezing nights!  As it is our January Wiregrass Beekeepers Meeting has been postponed for a week, partly because of possible snow predictions, partly because beekeepers like to watch the Rose Bowl too.  Roll Tide!!  Smart move Dave!   (fyi, Dave Edhegard is our new president)


There's not a whole lot to do outside with the bees these days, but inside there's plenty to do as January is upon us and it's tax time.  I spent part of today updating accounting records for the farm and getting documents in order.  The other part of the day was a delightful afternoon with the women of the Abbeville Garden Club. 


Christmas and New Years was good. Norman and our daughters and I spent Christmas morning at Coffee County Jail delivering goodie bags and ministering to the inmates there.  This year Cindy provided music and Becky taught the Bible lesson.  Norman just got bear hugs from big burly guys who were thankful someone thought of them on Christmas. I think my favorite part was a song request for PaRaPaPumPum . . . Cindy didn't know it on guitar but Becky did a mean drum beat on the table while the rest of us fumbled through the words.


We had all six (four children and two spouses) with us for four wonderful days the week between Christmas and New Years.  I never cease to be amazed and blessed at the creative and crazy things our family gets into when we're all together.  I borrowed a theme from Brian's XBox American Idol game, "I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to fall asleep because I'll miss you babe, and I don't want to miss a thing."  That pretty much sums up how we feel about the precious time everyone is together.  It also explains why we pass out from exhaustion when it's all over!


I think we may have picked up a ghost of Christmas future named Pervis too.  I hope he's not lurking around on the site somewhere.


That being said, Happy New Year everyone!  We hope 2010 brings you many blessings.

 FYI for Parents Minimize

We're on your side.

Please know that as parents ourselves we are very aware of the the blessings and curses internet use can bring to a family.  While the technology and potential are nothing short of amazing, the potential for harm is equally enormous.

Hortons Farm and our home has been a 'safe place' for many years, even before we were a real farm. We've tried to maintain it as a place where kids hearts are safe; a place where they'll be unconditionally loved, encouraged, challenged and pointed to God. This holds true for every child and young adult who's been to the farm. While puppies, calves, canoes and bees are fun and interesting, we strive to convery the underlying message of honesty, integrity, love of God and hard work. Our own four children were raised in this environment and they appear to be catching the vision of ministry to others. 

That being said - the same philosophy has been applied to this site.  While it's not necessarily put together "for" kids, there is content for them and it's all very safe.  We hope you'll enjoy too.
