Seasons Change
After decades of serving as the director of religious
education and an extraordinary minister of Holy Com-
munion, post-COVID health challenges prompted Kar-
in's priest to suggest she step back.
Though initially frustrated, that change opened the door
to something beautiful: Saturday evening Mass with Randy.
"We hadn't gone together in years because of the daily
walk-throughs to check on livestock and other daily farm
related duties. Now we sit side-by-side in the pew," she said.
Prayer continues to be a steady current in Karin's
life — from spontaneous moments at home to whispered
evening prayer with her husband. Even in religious edu-
cation, which she still teaches, Karin uses the miracle of
corn kernels to teach about God's creation.
"Some smart y-pants always says Pioneer — the seed
company — made it better. But I say, 'God did the original
design,'" she laughed.
For Karin, faith isn't separate from farming — it is the
vocation.
"We see God in everything out here. This isn't some-
thing we had to settle for — it's where we want to be.
We've been blessed with a life that constantly reminds us
how precious and interconnected creation is," she said.
