    I'm from Kilgore and we love these gals, and Ben! Their dad, Mac as he was known to most of us, was a great man. You don't need to take my word for it, just listen to his girls and how they carry themselves and there love of God and sharing it with others. Ya'll have made your daddy proud. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless ya'll!!!

Immortality will be the reward to live with our Savior forever. Until then we are sleeping as for a little moment. God bless our search for Him in His holy word ❣️

    Wonderful story girls! I lost my Daddy in 2010 after only a 16 day battle with cancer from the day he was diagnosed to the day he was gone. Also, he was never a farmer but sold farm parts his whole life and knew many farmers just like your Dad all over Northeast Louisiana. When I grew up and lived in a home of my own I decided to grow a large garden a by myself with absolutely no knowledge of how to grow a garden! Daddy was sick and walked with a cane at this point due to strokes but never missed the opportunity to sit in the shade at the end of my rows and give me pointers and just be there to be proud of his oldest, single girl that he suddenly started called the "baby"! Thanks for sharing your story! By the way, I know people in y'alls town!
