Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

                Our main bathroom.  Before.        What you can’t see:  A large, chipped area in the sink, rusted almost through.  Oak cabinets with their finish badly damaged.  Formica countertops…..textured in a sort of fake, wrinkled leather surface.  In the bathroom.  Ahem.  Yuck.        Yep.  This was our main bathroom at…

     We moved into our home in March, 1998.  We were blessed beyond belief that the Lord provided this home and these 5 1/2 acres for us when He did.  We were blessed even more when we heard from neighbors and other folks in the community and learned how His providence played out in our…
