New Blog Look!
If you haven't been out to the blog lately you will notice it has a different look to it. I decided after a couple years it might be time to have a professional create a custom look for our blog.
My friend Laurie at Country Linked recommended Erin to help us create our new blog look. If you take a look at Erin's website you will see her talents are many. Be sure and go check he out! Her website is www.erinehnle.com. After we saw what Erin did for Laurie on her blog, we had no hesitations about using her! Be sure to check out Laurie's blog too if you haven't yet! Super cute kids and pigs and more!
When Erin asked us what we wanted and offered ideas, I could only come back with the fact that our (entertaining) kitchen is a good representation of us. When I look at the kitchen that Milton built, it shows who we are. Simple, classic, yet farm. We feel Erin did quite well bringing that to our blog! What do you all think?
Our lives are ever changing and 2015 will be no different I am sure. We are in a really good place right now in our lives and we are thankful for all that we have and that we are sustained another day by our Lord.
On the blog side of things we plan to do a couple series this year and keep with our Adoption series in November. If you know of anyone interested in helping us this year be sure to share our email address. betweenthesunsets@gmail.com, we would really like to continue this series from year to year!
Although my other blog is written daily, it has brought me to a place of expression that I feel doesn't quite fit here at the Sunsets. If you care to join me there I'd love to have you.
Pushing Forward with Grace I'm doing a great series of sorts over there! #pfwg44thbirthday Join me in donating blood in 2015 or sending handwritten letters (44).
Before we know it spring will be here and the livestock will be sold and the corn will be getting planted! Winter is a time for rest for us, yet we always find things on the farm to catch up on!
Thanks for stopping by!

L's Dash, Your Dash, My Dash
I wrote this post for my blog Pushing Forward with Grace. I felt it appropriate to share over here too. It's about a farmer, God, and living our lives to fill the Dash! I hope you enjoy!
I spent my morning attending a funeral. It made my heart glad that the friend I knew, through my work in the insurance business, was a person of faith and saved. There were other things I found out at the funeral that just made me smile. It was like I was getting to know him better. Then there were things I was reminded of that I already knew. There were moments of sadness and tears upon my heart, just taking me back to the not so long ago passing of my Dad.
One of the things I wanted to talk about today is that I felt the Pastor for the service did a remarkable job of intermingling the Word and the life of this farmer (and other farmers). She pointed out thatone of the first occupations of Adam was to care for the land and animals. Farmers care for their land and animals their entire lives if they have their way. They grow food from the dirt we were created from. I haven’t and won’t do the sermon or words that were spoken of my friend L. justice but I will celebrate his life today.
I will celebrate the way he was hard working and a man that was cut from a cloth that meant respect, being stubborn at times, and loving with a whole heart. He would come into the office and start out giving me a hard time. It would end with me giving it right back and laughing together. He was a good man. The one thing I learned about him was that he carried a pocket bible with him daily and knew the scriptures and books of the bible. This only impressed me even more.
One of the first things that was read at the funeral is listed below. I had never heard it before and I am so thankful I did today. It’s beautiful. It’s true. It’s meant to inspire and be shared. So that is what I’m doing in celebration of L’s life. As he lived his Dash well, I hope you and I do too.
