    Joshua - I literally laughed out loud at your post...So True...all of it. At least my tractor is working right now. Bush hogged the pasture yesterday and it looks right nice, I must say. Multi flora rose is the bane of my existence!!!! Anyway, I got the rest of the garden in over the...

    Climate Change

    KW- I certainly am not as certain as you about the subject of climate change but I do know there is plenty of money flowing on both sides. Forgive me if I project, but you seem to trust the conservative party and distrust the liberal. I trust neither. Karl Marx and Ayn Rand were both out...

    Climate Change

    My 2 cents.... I suspect humans impact many things, including the climate. Since I was born back in the 1950's, the population of the planet has doubled. Has it changed things. Oh yeah. I read a study the other day that said farmers were going to have to produce 40% more food than they do...

    Are there any Homesteaders here?

    We homestead...albeit not completely off the grid. It's a hard way to go tho - especially with health insurance costs. Don't romanticize it or you will give up with the first hail storm that destroys your garden (happened to me 3 years ago lol). Anyway, we are a family of 5 and grow most...

    A Christian Economy

    I pray to the Lord that I be spared both poverty and riches. The book of Proverb reminds us of that. Capitalism, communism, feudalism, etc are all human created economic machines. They all have the same fatal flaw - in the end they become totalitarian oligarchy. Communism attempts to share...

    Hello 1watchman, it's really nice to meet you. I see you go to a nondem church now. One of my brothers goes to one of those. He seems to get along well there. It's misty and rainy here again today, but much better than the tornados they had south of here in Ark. I read where a man and two...

    Sterling banned for life...

    I think straw and camel's back applies here. Doc Rivers (the coach) was going to quit and their ability to attract star players would have been Zero. Huge dollars would float out of the franchise. I have sympathy for the man because he needs Christ. That doesn't mean he should be running a...

    Sterling banned for life...

    The NBA is a business and the other owners knew that Sterling was going to negatively impact the bottom line. Thus they threw him out on his ear. There was no government intervention here. If you or I were a CEO for any private company and we made statements like that and they got out, we...

    Out here on Rocky Ridge...

    So here I am on a cold, misty, windy day in April thinking about God and all the blessings He has delivered. I live in a little house with about 90 acres of land that I may or may not get paid off in this lifetime, but I will be warm tonight. I am kind of old -56- but God gave my wife and I the...

    Does libertarianism and Christianity correlate?

    Right - that's why God created the Law and gave it to Moses. No coercion there. Granted, we are now under grace, but that does not mean societies should make all things legal. Society without law simply leads to social darwinism...the meanest and strongest survive and thrive. Nothing could...

    Does libertarianism and Christianity correlate?

    Most libertarians believe women should have the right to choose abortion. Most libertarians believe we should legalize drugs. Most libertarians believe polygamous and SS marriage should be legal. Most libertarians believe pornograhpy should not be regulated by the government. No, I am not a...

    Do you sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic?
