The property attached allowed the construction of another house fairly recently worth around 600,000 for a build...

    It is Good for Me

    Friday, November 4, 2016, 3:45 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 119:65-72 (ESV). Knowledge and Good Judgment (vv. 65-66) You have dealt well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word...
