July 2006 Dear Barb and Ward - You have welcomed
us in your home and treated us like family. Your home and land and animals are
all so beautiful. Every single meal was outstanding (the best burgers ever, the
best tuna ever)! : ) You treated our children with such loving care that they
will miss you as much, if not more, then the wonderful experiences you have provided.
I (Jen) will never forget your sweet red haired goat whom I now call "Rahab".
You have put a longing for the country in this city-girl's heart!My favorite
part was the horseback riding on the nature trails ... who would have thought?!
Jay's 3 favorite things were the meals, the horse ride, and the mountain biking.
The kids really loved the bonfire, the baby animals, and YOU. Thank you

May 2006 Thank you for a wonderful visit to
your farmhouse this past weekend. What a treat to stay at such a beautiful place.
The setting and the rooms were lovely. All of the animals were so entertaining
to watch and added to the atmosphere of the farm. Breakfast was delicious and
the goat's milk was a special treat. We all decided that it tasted better than
cow's milk. Most of all, it was wonderful knowing we were in a Christian home.

2006 I had a super time at the farm! The meals were ecstatic, and
I loved the doe barn. It was fun to bottle feed the 4 babies and have them crawl
all over you and chew your hair and butt for your attention. It was also fun to
pet the horses and the donkeys. The poultry barn was interesting too. I loved
holding that little fuzzy duckling! Cricket is very sweet! She slept with Kelly
and me last night. Corky and Cana are also great. We had a super time. Thank you
also for adding in the pony rides! We all learned lots about animals!

March 2006 Just wanted to say hello and let
you know the impact your farm had on our lives. The kids talk daily about cornerstone
farm and many times they are playing cornerstone farm. Kyra has devised a milking
station in the front yard that is hilarious. They each still pretend to take care
of the goats. Actually, God’s faithfulness this whole past year has been nothing
short of miraculous and your farm was just one piece of the puzzle for us. I hope
you don’t ever doubt the use of your place for God’s glory because it truly was
a safe haven for us where our family could get away and have a bonding experience.
It was such a blessing. We think of you often and hope it has been a profitable
season for the farm as well as enjoyable. Love, Joy and Dirk, Kaden,
Kyra, Jacksonville, FL ---
