Great that you let them cut your grass so that they can be sold to cattle growers. The story about George and his wheelchair ministry is very soul inspiring. I hope a rich reader of your blog can read about George and send him through you a powered wheelchair for his convenience in traveling around to share the Gospel to those who really need it. Thanks for the inspiring post.
