Homesteader Life

Today was John’s “Big Day”. As most of you know, the boys spend a lot of time doing chores with me. Up until now the early morning chores have been done without the boys. For those who don’t know, John will be 4 in July and Noah turned 2 in Febuary. […]

It seems we up in the hills made out pretty good, compared to our lowlander friends. Our church, Crown and Covenant RPC, was hit bad. The word is she is now off the foundation, so no telling if she can be saved. I haven’t seen it yet, they say it will be […]

Will the rain ever stop? I hate to be complaining about this…..I was the one who asked everyone to pray for rain, but man, this something else. It just won’t let up. Its rained every day since we mowed the last hay. Some of my best hay has been rained on […]

Most christians in America have never sang the Psalms in public worship. This was not always the case and should not be the case now. God gave us the Psalms to sing! There are several themes found in the Psalms, one that can’t be missed is the theme of victory for God’s […]

I have 4 AR-15/M-16 magazines for sale. If you defend your homestead with a “Glorified Woodchuck Gun” and need some extra mags, send me an email and we can haggle out a deal.

Leah and the boys have been gone since Saterday and its getting pretty lonely on the hill. The silence is deafening. The funny thing is when I was younger, before my conversion, I wanted to be a hermit. I used to want to be hermit, can you believe that. Well, this […]

Please pray for Leah’s Grandmother in West Virginia, known by those who love her as “Gramaw Betty”. She just had a heart attack and things look pretty bad from what we’ve heard. Please pray for the Lord’s comfort for her and her family. Leah’s Dad is away on business and won’t be able […]
