I haven't been able to find anything like it in Muncie. <br /><br />Striving for a "familiar friendship with Jesus."

It is our hope and prayer that others can find joy and peace here. Eventually, we'd like to have a small cabin where folks can come for retreats and/or spiritual direction. I believe that, to be in touch with the Creator, we have to connect with creation in some way- if only with a small potted plant or a breeze from a window...or 6 more inches of snow in Northeast Indiana! We don't need a farm or barn to find God or to meditate- we can do it anywhere- even in our car (though please do not close your eyes if you're driving...) For anyone near us, please come visit us- we'd love to meet you, show you the alpacas and share a cup of tea or coffee or share in the fiber arts.

This group sounds great and that barn, oh my gosh Rebecca, I'd go crazy with all of that yarn!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />And I have never used Alpaca yarn as I would have had to order it and heard that it's expensive. But Oh how awesome it would be to have a sweater made out of it. You're a lucky lady!!
