Hello, my family moved down to Tennessee because I got a good job in hopes to buy some land become self-sifficiant and quit my good job.  Why?  I believe that the american way is in for a rude awakening and hardly anybody wants to believe it.  Government, schools, economy,  Hollywood, Isreal, and everything else you can think of is all working together in a force beyond our own power.  It is all pointing to the end times and I am not 100% sure it will be like the hit series Left Behind (but that would be great wouldn't it). 

For me, I know that homesteading is not my savior or escape from a rough world, it is about eating when and if there is no way to buy food unless you have the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:16).  "OOH that's crazy", or how about "well I don't think we will see it" or "I think we will be gone by then".  To me those aren't very strong arguments to convince me that I am the crazy one.  Homesteading is about not being in a postion that I am completely reliant on the govn't, Wal-Mart, new cars, kroger cards, and Mcdonalds.  It is about being able to help others who didn't think this was going to happen in our lifetime and take them in and help feed them.  It is about hoping I am wrong and meanwhile I found a simpler way of life that people completely do not understand. 

I have years ahead of me before I get to my goals, but it starts now eventhough I am a ways from buying land.  I have many things to take care of and many things to write about.

God Bless,

Jason
