Industrial Dairy and the Sabbath

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your […]

Isaiah Athanasius had a Birthday

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Isaiah turned one on Sunday. He is quite a little character, and very busy running around exploring all there is to explore. Its hard to believe its been a year since I anounced the little guys arrival.

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Agrarianism has been refered to by some as a “3rd choice”, something other than modern left vs. right mentality. This is very true, and it causes no small amount of ruckus whenever it is discussed.

While most people these days care very little about creation stewardship, they are VERY conserned about financal stewardship(so long […]

Tuesday Update

Gone Fishin’
