Texas Hill Country
From the Steppingstone to the Church Pew
We all crave and long for a spiritual connection of some kind. Today, I want to share with you a cool story that I’m confident will be one that will leave you feeling deeply encouraged! Life can be really tough and many feel alone, lost or forgotten. YOU. ARE. NOT. ALONE. I once read a […]
Building a Barn- Final Blog!
As I sit out here at sunrise with coffee in hand, gazing upon the beauty of this place (and how far we’ve come) I felt the need to include one last blog to piggyback on the series I began several months ago, “Building a Barn.” In “Pt. 3” I shared the importance and need for […]
TLH Mural
Several months ago my mother-in-law had mentioned to me that on Facebook, she Learned of a Muralist who had recently painted a couple of small murals on the walls of a restaurant which was located on the outskirts of the Texas Hill Country. She went on and on about the talented painter. My wheels started […]

To see the incredible transformation that has already taken place is impressive! It’s been quite overwhelming (yet at […]
Building a Barn (Pt. 2)
It’s pretty crazy that within just three months, the property is already looking so different. Besides the dirt, dust and the stinky Porta-Potty that’s completely hijacked the view of the picturesque cow pasture, things are going quite well. But, I forgot to tell you in my last article that prior to clearing and grading, we […]
Building a Barn (Pt. 1)
Our beautiful ten and a half acre ranch, located in the Texas Hill Country, had an already amazing 2800 square-foot home on the property as well as a smaller 1000 square foot Casita next door. Although the recently remodeled 1970’s ranch house had been transformed into a GORGEOUS modern farm house, we knew the true […]
