About the book: Only in the depths can we see God's grace come to life. It's time to move on, and it's time to start living. Step into the redeeming power of Jesus' love. As you take that first step, the lies that have become a prison holding you in will fall away, and the voices that shout your greatest insecurities will quiet. Even better, the lies that say you are all alone will perish at the first glimmer of the Person who will never leave you. Dive into the depths with me so that we can become unchained from our past, ready to step into our future.
Annessa was born in the heartland of Iowa, she is the eldest of five. With a heart for teaching and shaping young souls, Annessa has been teaching for the past decade and serving as a youth leader for the past four years. Fueled by love and a passion for the stage, she weaves tales through words while sipping coffee and deepening her relationship with Jesus.

Book Signing w. Author Barbara
Oskaloosa, IAMarch 21, 2026
10:00 am · 4:00 pm
Come meet Author Barbara Heil of "Journey into His Heart"
Growing up without any kind of faith life, Barbara Heil had a life-transforming experience at sixteen years of age, when she encountered an outpouring of Jesus' love. As a result, she began to attend a Spirit-filled Protestant Church and later became a missionary, an evangelist, and eventually a pastor, bringing others to the Lord. Her fascinating journey from brokenness to healing took Barbara to more than fifty nations, where she shared the gospel and witnessed what only God can do as He moves in people’s lives.
Not believing that Catholics were even Christian, Barbara took a class to learn how to lead them to Christ. Many years later, someone handed her a book that sparked a hunger to learn about the saints and Doctors of the Church, who she learned, to her astonishment, were all Catholic with faith lives centered on the Eucharist!
Through Barbara’s personal encounter with Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist, you will learn what spoke to her heart most intensely and fanned the flame of His love in her life. You will also discover:
The shocking secret Barbara never knew about herself and was amazed to find out
- How the “Man in the Sky” tenderly awaits and comforts you, especially in your darkest hour
- The healing graces God longs to unleash upon you when you open your heart to Him
- The intimate gift of God’s ever-present love that can be found only in the Catholic Church
- How obedience to our Heavenly Father’s will brings true freedom and blessings
This story of a soul wrestling with what she thought she knew about the Catholic Church, only to learn what the Church actually teaches, and then taking the steps needed to enter the Church’s embrace is exhilarating and not to be missed.

Cover Crop and Plant Disease Workshop

AMES, Iowa – Iowa Learning Farms will host a cover crop and plant disease workshop as part of their “Beyond the Basics: Advanced Cover Crop Series” in Ames on Tuesday, March 24, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. The event is open to farmers and landowners at no cost and includes a complimentary meal. “Cover crops play a critical role in keeping Iowa’s soil and water resources healthy. Though cover crops have many benefits, challenges like plant pathogens and disease can negatively impact the following cash crop,” said Mitch Harting, water outreach specialist with Iowa Learning Farms. “This workshop will help farmers understand pathogen movement between cereal rye and corn, and the best management practices to reduce yield declines.”
Attendees will also get insight into how they can implement alternative cover crops on their operation.
The workshop will feature Alison Robertson, extension field crop pathologist at Iowa State University, who will share information on the disease interactions between cereal rye cover crops and the corn that follows. Robertson will also offer a hands-on demonstration, allowing attendees to see seedling disease first-hand among different cover crop treatments. The agenda will also include Mark Kenney, a local farmer who will offer insight into managing an oat cover crop as an alternative to rye. Additionally, Ethan Thies, conservation field specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, will discuss other alternatives to cereal rye ahead of corn and best management practices to avoid disease when using cover crops.
The field day will be held at the Alliant Energy Agriculture Innovation Lab, located at 3800 University Boulevard, Ames. The event is open to farmers and landowners, though reservations are required to ensure adequate space and food. For reasonable accommodations and to RSVP, please contact Harting at 515-294-8912 or ilf@iastate.edu by March 17. Attendees will be entered in a drawing for ISU Prairie Strips honey.
Iowa Learning Farms field days and workshops are supported by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. For more information, visit Iowa Learning Farms.

We want to invite Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Siblings (over 12), Aunts, Uncles, and Friends!
This space will allow you the time and space to share openly about your child(ren), provide you with tools and resources to help you continue on your grief journey, and equip you with an amazing community to walk alongside you on this journey.
