Aren't you tired of not being understood? No one to tell you what is really going on in side? Being looked at as a "Reject in the church?" If you can identify, you qualify. It took me a long time to figure out why I was so different, and why my struggles seemed endless. It took me some fourty years to get it right; the f …

Update: January 15, 2013 Who we are and what we are doing: We are a group of individuals and families who are following the pioneer spirit that founded this great country. We are, as Holly said in her food presentation, concentrating on preparing for the little disasters with high probability.

If you cannot leave yo …
