White Violet Center earns ‘Real Organic Project’ designation
...of enforcement of some vital USDA Organic standards to protect soil health and animal welfare, organic farmers rallied together to fight to protect the integrity of the organic label.

A worldly trip through the eyes of postcards!
...countries. Of course, this was not my original route: These trips were made over a period of many years … sometimes as part of my ministry, sometimes as a guest with friends, but many times as a tour host working with a travel company.

Witness
...the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.” A ‘Teachable’ Moment I believe Will LeCroy can teach us an essential truth: Who among us deserves to be labeled, judged, discarded even, according to the worst thing we ever did?
