Potato Endorsement…

The Parson has made recommendations on bird seed, study Bibles, and Christian music (black oil sunflower, ESV Study Bible, and Indelible Grace, in case you missed those posts), and now he’s ready to recommend a potato!
The Kennebec Potato is now the potato of choice in the Baptist Parson’s household.
Some of our church friends gave us [...]
