I feel that I must clarify my latest blog post. The post was not meant to be "church bashing" in any way and I am deeply sorry if any of you read it that way. That was my fault. Here is how I should have ended my post. Both churches that I have had the … Continue reading A clarification

Where do I belong?
Years ago I went to a church I really loved. I loved that they concentrated on loving the community. They went out not only on Sunday's but also during the week to help people who were less fortunate or who were in need. Over half of the money they had went to helping people or … Continue reading Where do I belong?
Stop raining!!
We have a puddle. A wet murky puddle. We have a dozer, we have the money, what we don't have is dry ground to work with. AS SOON AS it starts to dry up we will be getting everything in the ground, gravel in, and concrete down. We will also have our well drilled. We … Continue reading Stop raining!!
To the person who called CPS
That's right. We had the dreaded meeting with CPS today to defend our parenting. The complaint? Our "severely malnourished baby", our "dirt house" that we are building and forcing our children to live in, and our favorite our "organic lifestyle". Instead of getting angry I have decided to write a letter. Dear person who called … Continue reading To the person who called CPS

To me I'm still the 18-year-old kid trying to figure stuff out in the world of people who already … Continue reading Strength
Working again
We love Cs job. It's a tough place to work though. I haven't been posting because I am still trying to navigate him working third shift. I'm finally figuring it out. I think I'm behind by about 4 blog posts. Hopefully I can post a house update tomorrow. There is so much really cool stuff … Continue reading Working again
Feminist is not a bad word
Yesterday it was all over the news that our governor Matt Bevin signed a law that says that women have to have a face-to-face meeting with their doctor before having an abortion. For some reason just really upset me, but I couldn't understand why. This morning I figured it out. We as women are given 100% … Continue reading Feminist is not a bad word
