Vineyard Owner Says Jesus's Words 'I am the vine, you are the branches' Hold Incredible Meaning For Her
Jesus's words in the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel of John are so much more powerful when you're the owner of a vineyard; when you witness the grapes growing on the vines and tend to its spiraling branches. For the Savaryn family of Waconia, Minnesota, their vineyard, Sovereign Estate, is an everyday living out of, 'I am the vine and you are the branches'. While California produces over 80 percent of the wine output in America, the 30-acre vineyard that sits on the banks of Lake Waconia in the south central part of the North Star state, is a testament to the legacy of the Savaryn clan's core values: Faith, Family, Beauty and Excellence. It's also a dynamic part of what has become a $325 billion dollar industry in the United States: Wine and the making of it. Some of Sovereign's wines have even won international awards and competitions. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Terri Savaryn, the co-founder and owner along with her husband Paul, talks about the faith that built the vineyard; how Paul's father, a doctor and immigrant from Ukraine, started a hospital and bought up farm property on the shores of one of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes. And how it turned out that the elevation was perfect for vine growing. But most of all, how Sovereign is not only how their name is pronounced, but what God's presence means in their lives: He is Sovereign. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Thousands still without power after storms bring tornadoes to Twin Cities metro
Thousands still without power after storms bring tornadoes to Twin Cities metro originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Almost 19,000 households are still without power Sunday morning after overnight storms brought tornadoes to the western Twin Cities metro. The Xcel Energy outage map is currently showing 18,980 households without power as of 10:10 a.m. Sunday, after severe storms brought dangerous winds, torrential rain and isolated tornadoes to the metro. A tornado warning was issued in the western Twin Cities, including Minneapolis and the suburbs of Edina, Minnetonka and Bloomington, after an observed tornado was reported. A few minutes after the alert was issued, the National Weather Service said the tornado was no longer observed, but noted that it could "very quickly produce another tornado and is not a storm to be messed with." Video footage taken in Minnetonka showed what appeared to be rotation, while at 12:15 a.m. There were reports of an observed tornado in the Cologne area of Carver County, and weather officials said there were "indications of debris being lifted picked up by radar south of Waconia." Reports are coming in of tree damage in the Waconia area following the storm. The Winery at Sovereign Estate is among the local businesses to announce closures on Sunday – not due to storm damage, but due to power outages. We're still awaiting further details on the number of confirmed tornadoes in Minnesota from the Sunday storm, which also brought widespread damaging winds and heavy rain, sparking flash flooding warnings in areas such as Wright County. The picture below shows a downed tree blocking St. Clair Avenue near the Ayd Mill Road entrance in St. Paul.
