Welcome

One Bog is just not sufficient. You can always get news and commentary on church and state at
Reformed Farmer. This ones about the joys and superiority of country living. Its also about living the good life, enjoying the little things, and learning to provide for yourself. Country living by its very nature grows people of faith. When your crops require rain, what can one do but pray? When your fields are flooded, who can you ask to stop the rain......but God Himself. When you very existence depends on things that are so out of human control, the Christian becomes more dependent on Christ. The country also has a handy way of teaching our children responsibility. Gathering eggs no matter how cold it is, helping papa milk the cows even when your sick and tired, these thing make for a strong race of men and women. When the money is all gone, and it looks hopeless.......We are once again forced to recognize that God provides for his people. I hope this Blog will spur you on to move to the country if you are a city slicker, and I hope it will be a place for folks already living the good life to exchange ideas and learn new skills. After returning from our Alaskan adventure, we have slacked off in our dream of being more selfsufficient. As we move to the place on top of the hill, we are returning to that dream. Plans are in the works for the new chicken coop, the berry patch, garden, fur shed, a new sap house and many other things. We hope to produce most of our needs and profit from the surplus. We will continue to rely on the dairy cows for income, but hope to cut our living expenses even more than we have. Well now that Blog #2 is up and running, I hope you enjoy it.
