Hi Becky, from one "preacher's wife" to another. Though I am LCMS - the confessional side of things though.

Glad to have you here.

It's always nice to hear from other pastors' wives. I've only been one for three years. It's interesting to say the least, that's for sure.

Sometime I'll have to share how my hubby and I got together. It's a good story. Suffice to say, I went almost two years saying how I wouldn't make a good pastor's wife. Guess I was wrong!

Its St. Johns in Riga. Yes, you may very well know him. He just recieved a call he is considering right now. He's only been with us 4 years, I'm hoping for a little longer yet, but I trust what ever God puts in his heart.

My parents attend an ELS church up in Sutton's Bay when they are on vacation at Lake Leelanau. I have attended too...it was rather weird using the TLH again, but nice.

Welcome, LutheranChick! Glad to have you here!

Hiya PreachersWife2004. All of this talk about conservative Lutherans makes me think of a big church in the future hopefully. When LCMS meets WELS meets the conservative folk of the ELCA. We'd be the biggest Lutheran church in the U.S. and we'd also be the biggest conservative Lutheran church in the world ...I think. Give that a whirl.

That was what I saw about 15 years ago so it must have changed to growing more soybeans. That's a good cash crop to.

For about 20 years previously the family would spend 2 weeks outside of Fargo ND in MN on Blanche lake catching crappie. Right by Beaver Tail lake. I think I fished it out then. We would take a 50 quart cooler and fill it with fillets--yes fillets. 1 lb slab crappie on up. Yum..........

When I was in high school, I had a job in the office of a grain elevator. For you city folks, that's where the farmers take their grain to be sold. The price of corn was $2 a bushel. It was $2 to $2.50 most of the time for the next 30 years, until they started using corn to manufacture ethanol to mix with gasoline. $3.50 to $4 corn is something very recent--just the last 3 or 4 years. It's hard work making money in farming.

Oh for sure, corn, soybeans, pigs - a few dairy farms and beef here and there too. I grew up on a farm that raised corn and milked cows - oh and for any of you that think Iowa is flat - it isn't here!

The latest thing springing up everywhere is ethanol plants. I am still trying to figure out if making ethanol for fuel is REALLY conserving oil - as my physics teacher once upon a time taught us that you can't MANUFACTURE energy that gives out more than it requires - I think that's some law of physics. But then again that was a long time ago and maybe (???) they've got some new methods. I may have strayed a bit off topic - hope no one minds!

Actually here in Iowa my dad is a farmer and farming is still pretty tough. He makes around 360k a year but after farming costs its only about 100k.

Wow! 100k - that's far better than I have ever made in a year in my entire life.

We lived on a farm in northern MN. In high school in addition to our work on the farm, I tried to make some extra money. We sold baled hay: my brother and I cut it, raked it, baled it, and stacked it in the barn for the people - we each made 1 cent/bale.

We also cut wood for winter heat (for our own use, about 30 cords of oak and maple). So I cut more trees, hauled it up to the house on wagons, used a buzz saw on the tractor to cut into firewood, stacked it to dry, split the wood, stacked it on a wagon, delivered with a tractor, stacked the wood in the person's wood shed - I made $10/cord.

No wonder I feel old...

In Christ's love,
filo
