Big Ag Watch

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Those who like to keep informed on the latest dirty tricks of the “Big Ag Boys” might find this of interest. There is a new push to get rid of “misleading labels” on the food you buy. By “misleading labels”, Big Ag means this…..labels that say stuff like “This milk was produced without […]

John-isms

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Living with “little John” is not like living with your average 5 year old. His commentary always brings a smile to my face.
Johnny and his grandpa were bringing the cows down off the side hill the other day. John noticed one of “his” heifers trotting along and pointed it out to […]

No Special Preparation

Just when I thought that the church could not get any tackier, our friend Chad finds this interesting devolopment.

A Response to What?

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Someone asked me what I thought the Christian Agrarian “movement” was a response to. Was it industrialism, modernism, capitalism, just what were we reponding to. I’ve been thinking about it and I’m not sure there is an easy answer. It seems we have a very diverse “movement”, so much so, I’m not […]

That Durn TV

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

One night, some time back, Leah and the kids and I went up on the other hill to visit a couple of elderly saints. When I knocked on the door I could hear the TV was turned up really loud, so I knocked a little harder. They poped out of the ole TV […]

Wood

Friday, September 14th, 2007

As the spliting maul ripped through another chunk of hard maple, I stopped to watch the sun set on Mt Hunger. I laid down my tool and sat down to soak in the view. My lower back aches and hands are sore, out of practice I guess. Like a busy squirrell hording […]

Our Only Hope?

Friday, September 14th, 2007

There are an awful lot of Christians running around saying that electing Ron Paul is “our only hope”. I don’t agree. Aren’t we the folks who say “put not our confidence in princes”. Now listen, Ron Paul is a decent man, I’ve always liked him. He’s against the Fed Res and against […]

Fall is Approaching

Monday, September 10th, 2007

It seems fall is fast approaching here in the hill country. The goldenrod is in full bloom and the leaves on the trees are already starting to change in some spots. The garden looks like it always dose this time of year, weedy. The seed garlic sits on the counter, meaning I’ve […]

A Few More Thoughts….

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

My last post pointed out a flaw in the constitution, a deadly flaw. Now some might jump to the conclusion that I’m advocating throwing the whole thing out, and that is just not the case. Before you jump to any such conclusions, perhaps I should back up a little. I’ve been involved, […]
