I'm Done

I have just spent over 45 minutes editing and re-editing the following post. I have been trying desperately to get the spaces between the paragraphs. I can't. I have tried a zillion different ways. I can't. I'm done. Please be patient with me dear reader. Thank you, cause I know you will be kind.

Things-I-Want-So-Much-That-I-Am-Sure-They-Are-Needs List, no wait, The-Farm's-Need-List!

Large Black Hogs, at least a breeding trio - this is really Bet's thing but I am happy to add it on my list, as if it would help being here. Getting these may require a road trip to MO.
Premier One Supply poultry net fence and sheep fence 2 or 3 of each and some fence chargers
Greenhouse
Hothouse as a solor greenhouse attached to the southside of the house. Nice.
Portable Cold Frames
At Least Five Chicken Tractors - okay I'll take three or four
Slide and Negative Scanner
Digital SLR Camera - I'm not taking this off my list and instead I'll narrow it for you Pentax K20D and just a lens or two for now. Really. Honest. My life would be grand if I had one. Okay it's grand without one but then I could take pictures to prove it.
Trim Board For Hallway Got It and a new paint job, now for the Kitchen

February and March -

We hope for freezing weather and ice skating on the beaver ponds. (but in the PNW there are no guarantees that there will be winter weather) We are really scrambling at this time trying to make sure that our year is successful at Victory Farm and Gardens; lots of new babies, lambs and chicks, things sprouting, garden fragrances are peaking out from under the chill... A few special teas thrown in for distractions from the hard work and gloomy grey days. Still possibilities of clam digging!

Note for 2010: wouldn't mind if we didn't freeze up solid again, probably no clam digging, stump digging instead, and busy hardly begins to describe these two months this year!

Blogs I Read

I have removed this side bar item, for a myriad of reasons but mostly because I cannot for the life of me keep it up. I am always forgetting to add the latest blog I found that I love to read.

It really is easy to find lovely blogs and blogespheric friends out there. You're welcome to mine, that isn't one of my points for removing the gadget. You can find the majority of the blogs I visit through their ingenious comments on my posts, or my referencing them in my posts.

This will be up for basically ever, and I needn't worry about it any more.

A Short List Of Things We Shouldn't Believe Because They Are a Lie

That God meets us in certain feast days, or certain days of the week, then and only then can we have a God experience.
That God despises that we have certain feast days.
Even though children can be cool to have they are a big burden
If you are a submitted wife, you are saying that you believe you are less than your husband
That if you trust God, and do as he asks, he is going to make your life miserable
That you have to test drive a relationship before you commit to it
That teenagers are hormonally beyond control and will at some point cause difficulty for their parent(s)

A Short List of Things We Should Believe

That to God, days are the same, no one day is more special than the other, but that doing and holding a day apart is a good way to remember where we have been and where we are going. Just not in a legalistic salvation sort of way.
When our children get married they become one with their spouse, that pretty much makes the spouse our son or daughter as much as the ones we conceived and birthed (or adopted) ourselves. Therefore that whole son-in-law thing doesn't apply at our house.
We come to find incredible freedom when we submit to others and put their interests before ours, it doesn't indicate that we are less. Gal. 3:28. Eph. 5:21 - 6:9 Phil.2:3,4
When we are reconciled to God through Christ, He gives us the strength to conquer all natural tendencies Phil. 2:13,4:13, Gal. 5:22
We can trust God to direct us to our spouse and we don't need to test drive the relationship first. Genesis 24, 29, Eph.5:3
