Freedom??? Think Again Folks, We Are No Longer Free

Image
  I'm so tired...physically, mentally and every other part of being tired that there could be. I feel like my freedom is slowly forcefully being taken away from me and theres not a thing I can do about it.  I'M really tired of being TOLD WHEN, WHERE AND HOW TO WEAR THE MASK.... If you don't wear it you can't go to certain places because now they require it. I have stopped shopping at stores that require it, but now our whole state is making it a mandate. (I still refuse to wear it though.) It's sad watching our freedoms being taken from us. It's sad that most people are willing to blindly follow such nonsense. I don't want to raise my kids in this world...  heck, I don't even want to live in this kind of world myself. What happened to our individual rights? This isn't about health.... its about, control, politics, and setting us up for a communism take over.... it has nothing to do with health. It's just another way the for the leftists to destro...

Ornate Churches - And Reverencing A Holy God

Image
I was raised conservative, and although church politics, and a total disregard and respect for God from so called christians, keep me away from attending church regularly, I am Independent Fundamental Baptist in my beliefs.   But when it comes to reverence and worship, Catholics know how to do it right . This post may get a bit deep and longer than usual, but it's something that I think is important.  The problem with new-style churches, weather small or mega, isn't just that they're ugly - they actually distort the Faith and lead people away from God. Yes, it is true that the Church is a group of people, rather than a building, and that Moses worshiped in a tent, but to talk of churches as theologically little more than rain shelters is misleading. The Mid West, the Far West and the South are dotted with churches that are simply atrocious that have gone up in recent years. The traditional church communicates the Faith, while the modern one simply doesn't - it is a dang...

Breakfast with my Ex Husband

Image
I twist the wedding band on my left ring finger. I never know what to do with my hands, especially when I’m nervous. Every five years or so, I find myself here.... I’m at a little restaurant twenty plus miles from my home... I'm always here first. I see him at the door before he sees me. I watch him look around the room. My heart is beating fast. The whole scene freezes as he walks towards me. I am transported back 21 years to when I first met him.... so much looks the same, all the memories come flooding back. We used to be in love....we made it look good; we made it look easy. And it was good, but never easy. Life was hard back then. I rise to hug him. Our bodies still fit so well together. I remember his smell, part cologne, part Marlboro cigarettes, and part cinnamon certs. I pull away. We sit, surrounded by the noise of the old folks getting their morning coffee and chatting about the weather. It feels awkward. I never know how I'm supposed to a...

Image

Carlos, Indiana - The Town That Used To Be....

Image
Every spring I drive down to a little Amish greenhouse for flowers and vegetable plants... And on the way, I drive through the little town of Carlos. I love old, rusty, used things and old buildings just speak to me!  This little town is one of those places, that on a calm and quiet day, you can almost hear the screen doors slam as each person came and went..... and invision horses and wagons driving up and down the street.... Carlos is barely a dot on the map in Randolph County, Indiana today, but at one time it was a pretty substantial town with a number of businesses and residents to call it home.  From what I have read, it used to have a school, gas station, bank, grocery store, beauty salon, creamery (aka the butter factory), skating rink, doll museum, and a post office in the back of the general store. But the thing that makes it most unique (at least to me) is this castle-like grain elevator, complete with crenellated wall.  I...

Starting Over

Image
A few years ago we downsized our pasture and got rid of all our Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, rabbits, and chickens. It was right after our sons emergency brain surgery and my three surgeries and honestly, there was just so much going on, that we just needed a break. It was so hard to see the animals go... especially my favorite little guy buckle. It's been a few years, and although theres still alot going on with my health, we felt like it was time to start fresh again.... only this time around we are keeping it simple. No cows, guineas, meat chickens to butcher, and no breeding, milking or selling goats. We are just getting enough chickens for our personal egg use, 2 wethers as pets, and one bunny as my companion animal! I put a deposit down on these two little guys last week. We have to wait a few weeks till they're old enough to leave their mommss, but I can't  wait to have baby goats again.  In the meantime, I'm gonna be cleaning and disinfecting th...
