Over the years God has compelled us to cultivate a simpler, less busy, and more joyful life. That is a process that takes time with one new learned skill or one simplification or change at a time. We love our chickens and goats and the benefits they provide us for a healthier more natural diet. We enjoy gardening to raise our own food, but also appreciate the therapeutic qualities of getting our hands in the dirt. Jon and I are not masters at any of this, but have learned a lot in our journey. We have learned some useful skills and are becoming more self Christ sufficient each day. There is always a new adventure with something new to learn. At times it has been quite comical.
