In an age of
job uncertainty and massive consumerism, a small but growing group of
Christians are slowing down, changing their focus and building a simpler
dream. This dream is a learning process, focusing on enjoying life at a

Food for Thought - Why do we ask kids
and adults to say no to drugs, drunkenness, and obesity, but consider
it almost impossible for them to say no to premarital and extramarital
sex?
The Challenge:Let's say you
move across the country and don't have ANY groceries or staples in the
house. You have $55.00 for the weekly shopping at regular grocery store.
Make a fairly balanced menu and shopping list for three people at three

Every Sunday our Church has
a potluck dinner after services but there are many times that I start
running out of ideas! As a result, I would love to share recipes with
others to build a potluck cookbook. Come on by and join!
Does it always have to be pre-packaged

basics. It is less expensive, better for you and tastes great!
Wouldn't it be refreshing to view a

reading this, you are already here! The Internet.
Is your family's idea of
time together, an evening in front of the television or just sitting in
the same room but not actually interacting? Can you imagine having fun
with old fashioned games? Do you children know how to play with a ball
and jacks, marbles or Chinese checkers.
Becky Freeman
takes stories from her life and brings tears of laughter as she tells
you about her family and simplistic life. For those that have joined
rural living from suburban or city life, you will find yourselves
nodding in agreement throughout the book.
With the recent
addition of 15 baby chicks to our small homestead, I took time to
research into the feed and care of these little eating machines. This
book turned out to be the easiest reading, most informational beginner's
guide. It covers almost everything you will need as a beginning chicken
farmer. Highly recommended!
