The computer for me is only comunication, period. I don't do any financial transactions what so ever on it, don't even have a credit card. If anyone wants my identity the joke's on them. I do think I'll keep it that way. Tom Peculiar Optimist,

After reading this, I don't feel very good because it's so real. You made me think of viruses, worms, identity theft and swindle that happen in the privacy of our own homes unbeknownst to us...all through the "box". Don't know what to think sometime, but you folks have given me much to think about. First time reading your blog as Good Farmer John referred to it today.

HH, I was just daydreaming, it was very poorly writen, I think it could have used about ten thousand more words, maybe more. But even being a daydream it could be closer to reality than we all think. I don't know if it's just me , but I see the whole thing going down the tubes. I keep getting this feeling, "get ready, NOW". I think we'd better. Tom MFK,

It gave me goosebumps! I'm usually an optimist, and have felt that God has lead me to my current convictions and will continue to do so, but your story gave me a scary feeling followed with hope! The hope is as you portrayed in your story...a grandmother recounting to a grandchild of how it was. May our Lord allow us such a blessing! A little late, but I just read your story!

KSMM, We are opposing an enemy, that's for sure, and it's up to all of us to let it be known. And I ain't talking any human being. Alan, Glad your folowing your agrarian dream, I couldn't even imagine another way anymore. And there's always something new to learn. Thanks. Mountainfirekeeper, Thanks for the encouragement. Your right, I was careful only to tell the truth in what's happening right now in the past tense, even the marrying of humans and animals as a right, I just heard that one on the news this past week on the radio. And it won't even end there. Thanks for dropping in here and I hope you hang around. Emily, Thanks for your insight and thanks for letting me know that your a reader of my sometimes off the wall writings. You can use anything I write, anytime you'd like. That's why I write it. I make a living farming and the writing is just my thoughts and I'll never really do it for real. I'm more interested in just getting the word spread and if you want to spread it, you have my blessings. Just like farming, we'd always help a neighbor and never expect anything in return, it's the Christian Agrarian way. Tom Tom Herrick,TnFarmgirl,JM,
Thanks so much.

KSMM,
We are opposing an enemy, that’s for sure, and it’s up to all of us to let it be known. And I ain’t talking any human being.

Alan,

With your permission, I would like to share it with some others. I've been reading your blog for some time and you have provide much food for thought and inspiration for this city-raised girl. This winter has been a time of reflection and planning as a month ago we moved from living the entirety of our married lives in an apartment into our own home on almost three acres of land in New England. Not that big, but huge to us. The freedom that comes with that change also brings greater responsibilities and proper stewardship of the Lord's blessings. We're looking forward to raising some crops along with some chickens for eggs and meat - and perhaps turkeys as well - this coming spring. Part of the reason is not only to be able to provide for our family on a daily basis but also to aid friends and others who may need help in dire times whether it be personal or on a larger scale. That for which our forefathers struggled and shed blood we have come to take for granted. Although God has gifted this nation with great wealth, we are now trained to depend on others to *take care* of us. We behave as though we are *entitled* to that which we have failed to provide for ourselves. The more we rely on the government for our upkeep, the less prepared we are when disaster strikes. We are left to shift the blame onto everyone but ourselves. We need to relearn that which was a way of life for our ancestors. Lord willing, we're going to try to move from dependence to independence as much as we can, learning as we go. God bless! An excellent and insightful post!

Applause--standing up first! I'm an avid student of internet news and could document basically everything happening now that you wrote in the past tense. It IS happening, we just don't know the times and speed of future events---it's not given for us to know but we can certainly read the signs. Mark 13:28-29 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. HI there Tom,

It's encouraging to read about others living an agrarian lifestyle when most of your friends and family think your crazy for doing it.
