we are really moving this week……. I have gained some thoughtful insight that I do not yet have time to share… –big houses vs. small house living. –just how much junk one can collect? and is it so necessary to clutter our lives with so much stuff!?! –coming face to face with my lack of patience…

Tennessee Wildlife
On a recent trip to look for some farm land for the family we scared the local wild life. The deer and turkey where on the move across the field like the wildebeest in Lion King. It was an amazing site as we drove down one dirt road and then doubled back on the next…
Preserving Grandfather’s Story
On our recent trip to visit family, my mother and I stayed up very late one evening going through old pictures and papers. I learned many interesting bits of information about my own heritage, but one piece of information especially inspired me. My mother handed me a stack of papers and said that it was…
San Diego Sells Liberty Boise Stands For Liberty
The Supreme Court of Idaho ruled that the citizens of Boise have the right to vote on returning the 10 commandments to their original location at the court house. Against the will of the people, the Boise City Council moved a Ten Commandments monument from a public park to a local church to avoid a…
Thorough review of Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
I found a great review of several of the different sessions that Matt Chancy blogged during the week. I hope to discuss more of the principles discussed at the conference and a few rabbit trail topics after we return home. But for now I hope that you will enjoy these post from Matt. http://mattchancey.blogspot.com/
MT. Soledad Cross – Already Lost
Reading a recent article about the ACLJ and the Mt. Soledad Cross reminds me a lot of my last post about the National Right To Life. Why is it that a good organization becomes “big” and turns lukewarm? I remember back in the day when Jay Sekulow would represent various pro-life leaders when they were…
Grocery Store Paid Me
I know the grocery related posts are abundant, however, I am so thrilled about my new adventure into coupon land, it is hard to contain my excitement. Tonight, I saved over $30 on my grocery trip. I was getting some last minute things for our up and coming trip, when I spotted a sale sign…
Sticking to Principles – Well Done Brian Harris!
I was proud to read Brian Harris’s comments on Bob Corker at the Conservatives for Corker Blog today. This is more than I have come to expect in our culture where friendship and support are too easily purchased. The betrayal of the unborn by the National Right to Life, as mentioned in this same article, is more…
Grocery Savings Continue to Add Up: My savings highlights for last month
Recently, I began my trial period of the Grocery Game (which was only a $1 to try it out for 4 weeks) and since then I have become coupon crazy. I love a good deal and I am such a frugal person that something like the Grocery Game is great fun and excitement for me. …
If Corker wasn’t good enough yesterday, why today?
Here is a problem with situational party politics. Its all about party and very little about principle. You have groups like the conservative Team GOP and others who go all out for a primary and blast someone like Bob Corker. They tell you all the things he has done wrong and why he is not…
Labor and Work: Good for the body and soul
Even with all our house work (remodel), we have enjoyed working outside on gardens, vines, clearing land, tearing down falling-down outbuildings…. The children have thrived on full days of exercise, mud, working with tools, playing house and building all sorts of interesting things out of wood and nails or cardboard and sawdust. The toddlers “work”…
Fruit of the Vine – a look at our vineyard
Our vineyard is small and actually only consists of 4 vines. So I guess it isn’t a real vineyard, but we like to think of it that way. A while back, we visited a real vineyard and had the opportunity to let the children pick grapes. Although these grapes were not “eating” type grapes, they…
