Written By Lisa Vitello on her newsletter from long ago New Harvest Homestead “But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister…and Mary Magdalene” (John 19:25). I lead a small women’s Bible study every week at the home of my friend Lisa. There are usually just five of us there, and we have all come to treasure the intimate bond we have developed as we search the Scriptures together. A few weeks ago, Lisa…

Written in the New Harvest Homestead Newsletter in 2005 What is a “homestead woman?” Literally speaking, the word homestead means to be steadfast at home.

A few months ago, I decided to have all of the articles from New Harvest Homestead written by Lisa Vitello typed out for me so I could make posts from them. Lisa wrote these in the early to mid 2000s and they’re full of gems of wisdom.

Lisa Vitello used to publish a newletter called “New Harvest Homestead” in the early 2000s. She is an excellent writer, and I know many of you will love her writings. They’re priceless!
