Northern Farmer

Windy thing here again today, only allot cooler outside than yesterday. All is going well in spite of a terrible cough and sore throat. But the typing fingers are still doing good so that isn’t slowing anything down on the keyboard.

Coming up this May 1st this old blog will have its four year anniversary. And it sure has been a ride to say the least. It would be almost impossible for me to recall all the good times that came about because of this thing. The new friendships that have lasted, the different folks from all across America and Canada that I call friends. Even those readers that never comment and have stayed behind the scenes all this while have been special.

Its had its ups and downs, but I never let the downs get to me. I have to be honest with myself though. The direction that this family is going is in a slightly different direction that I can put across on this blog for some reason. With full time farming and part time ministry life is really taking off around here. Others can do the job better than I can when it comes to many things on the computer and I have decided to close down all my blogs that I’ve somehow started and maintained over these last few years. And in doing so I will only have one blog, a new one, called Christian Farm and Ranchman .

This new blog will be more down to earth, more daily life, and a mix of farming and faith that I’ve always done. Because to be truthful, I can imagine no other way. It will be the same in many ways, but also be a tool for me for our region, something that I never really did on Northern Farmer. Hopefully now that I have more time to concentrate on one single site I can put much more into it, including local events that are coming up, because there has always been an interest in that from readers in this region that stop by here.

I’m doing this a few days earlier than planned quite simply because next week I might be really busy in the fields and with calving so I bumped er up a few days in order to take that pressure off of myself. Like I said, its been fun, its been a wonderful time here, but there comes a season when all things must end. I’m happy with it and looking forward to the direction that the Lord is calling me to go! God Bless!
