It Wasn’t the Homesteading
There are a lot of things that went wrong for me in terms of my health over the last few years. Some people would argue that it was because of the homesteading, but it wasn't. I mean, sure, it had it's role, but there were deeper issues at play...

2019 Mid-Year Homestead Update
It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to write down what’s been going on around here. I figured I’d better type up a 2019 mid-year, homestead update before I forget!

May 23rd
I’m starting this post with a big, heavy sigh. Life. There is a sense of peace in knowing that this world is broken, and that this isn’t the way God intended things to be. We might live in a broken world now, but it won’t always be that way. Even though I look forward to what is to come, I’m not in any rush to get there. This broken world is still amazingly beautiful. Maybe that’s why it bothers me then that time feels like it’s just slipping through my fingers. Here we are, on May 23rd already. We’ve almost completed 5 whole months of the year. I keep thinking…
