I have a really cool Pastor. I think I may have mentioned that once or twice! We had a nice time at their house last week, and yesterday he brought over a DVD he had made with a great worship song, and using picures he had taken of our visit. The kids got to spend part of the day riding "Old Bessie", his tractor! He let them drive all over- even the six year old. What a blast. Today, he brought over his first offering to our blgging community here: an article! I can't wait to see if I can get him to blog!

He is a sheep rancher/farmer/homestead type guy. He raises his own meat and gardens, too. His wife does alot of canning, and I think he does too, because he brought me some pickled beets that he made. We are so blessed to have our dreams coming true. We wanted to live in the country, have a ton of critters, and learn to be "homesteaders", and the Lord just keeps making things possible. I just love Him! To give us a Pastor to teach us the Word, and teach us homestead skills on top of that. Can you believe it??

Who has been most inspirational/helpful/ instrumental in your homesteading plans and experiences? Leave me a comment and if possible, a link to your source.Thanks!
