Here today I am running around, trying to catch up on schoolwork, the forum, and help B&K look for another house to move onto their lot. (The one they were going to buy could not be moved, a major setback!) The weather has been warming up and melting the snow during the day and everyone is enjoying the sunshine and warmth.
Then the brakes get put on and all comes to a screeching halt with a phone call. Around 10:30, Kyle calls from school and tells us the Pastor of the Church where he goes to youth group (which was just last night) was killed while out jogging this morning.
It is a sad day for sure. This is the second death of someone close to the kids. (Last August it was a classmate--Scott B.) Why do these kids have to go through this at such a young age? It makes me angry and hurt because I can not take away the heartache and pain like a mother wants to do. They have to endure and ask their own "Why?" questions as well.
It puts a reality check on what we deem is important and what really is important in our lives.

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.

There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)
A few of words of wisdom I have come across:
Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.
If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.
(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**
Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.
Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

THANK YOU!!!
