A few nights ago, I was taking the pig slop out to our pigs, and there was very little natural light from a waning crescent moon that hadn’t begun to peek over the tree line surrounding us. I should also note that I had been doing some construction around the house (as I am oftenContinue reading “Lack of Vision”

A Little Neglect
A well maintained park is something to enjoy. I picture in my mine a lawn with fully seeded and nicely cut grass, large shade trees, beautiful flowers, and aesthetically pleasing landscape; maybe a pond, or creek, or fountain near by. There is a lot of work that goes into keeping that piece of ground lookingContinue reading “A Little Neglect”
All We Like Sheep…
The sad reality captured in the words to that great hymn by Robert Robinson, written almost 300 years ago still ring true of us today: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above. The Word of GodContinue reading “All We Like Sheep…”
Like A Rock
One of the first things that is done when building a house is to dig down and put a permanent foundation. Christ relates this type of building to obeying the commandments of God. He wants us to have a permanent reference to build upon. Luke 6:46-49 KJV 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, andContinue reading “Like A Rock”
After The Fire
S.T. And I had been discussing what we understood “Quenching the Holy Spirit” meant and he had related it to a sword smith heating a sword, pounding the metal out, and repeating that process before quenching the metal. He also said there are two ways to quench the metal – oil and water – oneContinue reading “After The Fire”

On cold winter days when I am going to be leaving the house for a number of hours, I usually get the fireplace piping hot and load it up with some nice green logs. Right before I walk out the door, I will shut down all of the air going in. The fire will continueContinue reading “Quenched or Quickened?”
Stronger For It
Yesterday, a young lady at our church sang a song by the Carr family. I’d like to bring up the chorus and just say that, sadly, I’m not at this point yet…and part of me is scared to say this, but I WANT to be at this place. Make me blindThat I might seeMake meContinue reading “Stronger For It”
Problem With Math
I am so thankful that my school days are over. I still love to learn, and I desire structure in that as well, but I am happy that I get to have control over most of that. When I was in college, Calculus II was the most confusing for me. My teacher wasn’t very goodContinue reading “Problem With Math”
Grow Where You Are Planted
Often, we hear this term from family in regards to our going to India. Usually it’s spoken out of fear of the unknown, or even our of just not understanding why we can’t “just be happy here.” but we could. We could be very happy just staying here, growing our farm, setting up our house,Continue reading “Grow Where You Are Planted”
Don’t Get Stuck!
Lately it’s been interesting to watch as people comment only on the cost of debt free living. While it is difficult in it’s seasons, especially as an American who grew up with a multitude of comforts, it also has a “worth it” factor. We are currently experiencing the off grid solar electricity, hauling water inContinue reading “Don’t Get Stuck!”
