On August 11th, 2020, an incident occurred that will forever change my life. I was working on a project for a friend when as I was cutting a small piece of wood diagonally on a sliding compound miter saw. The blade caught, sending it sliding toward me and over my left hand.

Goodbye 2016 As we look back at 2016, our hearts are filled with thankfulness to our Lord and Savior. He is the One who, through His Word, made us grow closer to Him. He sustained us, provided for all our needs and more, helped us get the business started, and to top it off, blessed us with […]
