Coming as city slickers from the overpopulated Los Angeles area, having ten acres is huge for us. But once we settled in, we realized our ten acres and farm life was only a drop in the bucket compared to what true farmers have in this rural country. Nonetheless, we are thankful for what the Lord
The great late Charlton Heston gave this legendary speech 22 years ago. Dear Sir, I heard, I heed, and I will gladly bleed in defense of this right to bear arms. I will closely watch our Republican candidates within the reach of my vote. If any of them capitulate with the Democrats, even in the
Rather than a UTV with a dump truck bed for work on our homestead, we decided to go with this machine. We purchased the Razor XP 1000 Premium edition. I’ll be selling my car (which is in storage), and this will become my primary vehicle in the country, and my wife will still have her
I am preparing this portion of our property for a new addition to our family – my Wifes Jackass, et.al. This task includes but is not limited to. The removing of an old barbwire fence, replacing it with cattle fencing, and adding two gates.
Though the nut jobs would call them aliens, they’ll even convince the government to spend billions of our tax dollars investigating them.

And that authority and pulpit are exclusively reserved for men only, and so women are not to man a pulpit (1 Tim. 2:12). Though it is not politically correct to say this, it
Since our home is in a rural area, I appreciate our delivery professionals even more. So, I ordered a small refrigerator to place outside so that our FedEx, UPS & USPS workers, and/or anyone else doing work here can get a cold drink if they desire. Soli Deo Gloria! As Jesus said, “Thou shalt love
When we purchased our new home, we realized that a portion of the land was suffering severe water erosion, and if we did not intervene soon, some of the trees in our woods would eventually succumb to a mini avalanche. When I solicited referrals from one fellow, he recommended men from a local ranch. After
This will help us get started until we decide how to properly use the lay-out of our land. We’re also talking to an esteemed farmer about purchasing some cattle, and that requires more attention right now.
I am not saying that God speaks to us in dreams today. I believe in the new covenant God only speaks to us via His inerrant, infallible, sufficient Scripture. Nonetheless, last night I had a dream. I dreamt the true story about a small protest I was involved in at the front doorsteps of the
