It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

Just a short post to highlight some helpful reading over on the Sifford Sojournal: Forgive Them “…Wow. Forgiving, even if I could be just in taking offense; forgiving and forgetting (like we would want God to) and not reviling the person; God’s forgiveness being withheld for my being unforgiving of others! But here was the…

It is not only our job but our deepest desire to feed them, clothe them, bathe them, and shower them with affection, love, training and, when necessary, discipline. This…
Perhaps a disclaimer is in order: not liable for anything said when hormonally possessed and at 40+ weeks gestation. I doubt I am the first woman nearly two weeks over her "due date" who is pretty much fed up with the hoopla. Nine months ago you excitedly get a positive pregnancy test, have a date…
I am not a linear-brained person. You might even call me a type b mama. I’ve heard that this type of brain fosters creativity and good relationships. I’ve seen it create chaos and fear if left unchecked. In college it caused me to become behind in just about every class I ever took. I became…
Despite the relative ease in which I spent my earliest days of motherhood, I was never the kind of Mama who gave her little boys baths every night. This was partly because, in our fairly suburban existence, they just never got dirty. I had grown up with farmers as friends and farmers as family and…
Contentment is a funny thing. One day life is simple and clear and contentment shines through the clouds like sunshine the morning after a rain. Then one day there is too much stuff or jobs or activities or possibilities and life simply gets in the way of that contentment. Over the past couple of years…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
