We recently gained access to a beaver pond for trapping. Yesterday the boys and I went down to check it out. Beavers are such amazing creatures, we had a ball looking around. I showed the boys the dam and the house and all the little canals they make to haul in food […]
We American Christians find ourselves living under strange conditions. A country settled by Christians, yet so lacking in any visible proof. Our ansestors and and ourselves have committed a sickening crime. We have watered down the Gospel that transforms the world into the “gospel transformed by the world”. It seems that […]
Last night after supper I was holding our new child when John and Noah came over and sat down with us. The boys took it apon themselves to “teach stuff” to their new brother. It was such a blessing to watch. It took quite a while for them to explain all they have […]
The natural thing for people to do when they “become agrarians”, is to want the whole shebang…..last week.

This morning at 4 o’clock, Little John and I headed off to start the morning chores. I tapped John on the shoulder a few times and told him we needed to get going. He got up right away and wiped the sleep from his eyes, got dressed, put on his rubber boots and […]

Most of the folks that read this blog know full well that we are living in a wicked culture. The problem is a lot of folks in this country don’t want to own up to their part in the whole mess. What comes to mind is the grumpy old men who sit and […]
The other day I had to tell John and Noah that they couldn’t go to the barn with me for afternoon milking. I was in a hurry and it just wouldn’t work out well. They were crushed. John looked up at me with his sad eyes and said, “But Dad, when I […]
