We have a new preacher!

god is in his holy temple, as we have a new preacher! Preacher Henry Kane has come from southern california to be the shepard to our small community. This is great news as our community was in a bad way after Apostle E.F. felt he was being called elsewhere.
The lord works in strange ways somedays as our church did not look for a preacher, he just found us.
A few weeks ago we had a downpour after a dry spell. Ewan was out working in the barn on the bus transmission as it had fell out on a test drive to town. Unfortunatley, the back wheels ran over it, so Ewan was looking for parts at junkyards around the state but having no luck.
During the heaviest part of the rain, this older man drives up in buggy asking him if he needed any help. Ewan invinted him inside the barn and hollered for me to bring them some lemonaid.
I brought them sandwhiches too and a warm blanket for the man.
He said that it is such a lovely day and he loves to take walks, even when its raining. He said he had a transmission in the back of buggy for us!
Well, after hearing our our miricle the men folk decide he was led here to be our new shepard.

The Snakes are Here!

Preacher Kane just rang the bell at the church house and Ewan ran over with the rest of the men folk. Our King Brown Snake as just arrived from Austraila! We will be handleing him on Sundays revival!
Weeeeeell Doggy it has been awhile.

Our baby boy Mo, took to being sick a few weeks back. He had the fever in a bad way. We called for the preacher after is temp was 104.
He told us that Ewan's faith was right in the lord, but I was lacking and if I did not repent that Mo would suffer the consequence. I was troubled because I try to live by the good book. The preacher than told me that he knew of my conversation with another sister and that god was not pleased. I told him that this certain sister's husband hits her something awlful and she should seek help from the big city, as they have all kinds of things I am sure. Preacher than said I should have never have given her ideas about the big city. That a wife belongs to her husband and he see's to her wellfair. That when a husband is disciplining his wife, it is done out of love because she has pitched her tent towards Sodom and Gammorra. "A few whacks on the back and thighs is nothing compared to the eternally ripping and nashing of teeth in the lowest and hottest part of hell, sister Mcgregor. You would do well to remember that." Preacher Kane is right. I repented and 5 days later Mo's fever broke. Halleluegha!

The baby's here!

Sorry for my delay in posting ladies but I have joyful news! I gave birth on Sunday to a 13 pound 9.5 ounce baby boy! During the birth little Moses got jammed in the birthing cannal and the doctor wanted to put me to sleep, so he could work on getting Mo out. As I was in the throws of pain, I immediatly said 'please, knock me out!' I am thankful that Ewan was beside me as he was the only rational thinker in the room. He looked me an said "no, this is woman's penance for tempting man, you will deal with the pain as we are told to do." Than he turned to the doctor and said that in no way shape or form am I to be given medication that although Sarah is in pain right now 'this too shall pass' and she will regret it later. Well, 15 minutes later, Mo was born, and although I lost a great amount of blood, I was able to grind wheat for Ewan's bread that night! I was healed!

About us

I have been married to my awesome husband for 10 years and god has blessed us with eight children! (a set of twins in there!) We are quiverful and as such, will accept as many blessings god will give us!I am a conservative christian.Period. My daughters and I dress in modest clothing, to draw attention to our countenance and not to bring temptation to others. I make most of my family's clothes and what I don't make we buy from thirft stores. I can buy winter clothes for the entire family at the same price most people would pay for one outfit! We wear head coverings to show we are submissive to our head of house (daddy)and god. We live debt free, thanks to the gene simmons financial seminar. To live debt free, we live very humbily. No new cars (we own a 1981 Plymouth station wagon and a 1988 15 passenger van.) We have also bought a 1983 school bus (800.00) that we are transforming into a camper for the family! We live off the land the good lord gave us. We have a milk cow, chickens, and have several veggies in our garden. We have a small wheat field where I collect and grind wheat to make flour for our bread. We have electricity, but I much perfer to cook on my great grandma's wood stove. In fact 5 years ago Ewan sold our electric range and we have never regreted it! Food tastes so much better after I have spent a hot summer afternoon over our old stove cooking for my family!
We are very convicted in what we believe and try to live live by the good book on our earthly pilgrimage. We pray you will feel the conviction of the almighty as you browse this blog.

Heaven help me!

Today, seven year old twins, Matthew and Mark decided to play hide and go seek while I put the finishing touches on lunch. To make a long story short, Matty decided to hide in the laundry shoot and got stuck. Heaven help me! Thank the lord, he wasn't that far down and I was able to dislodge him using butter. During this time, our dog is nipping at my legs while my head is down the shoot spreading butter on the sides. The phone rings. Its Ewan and Mark tells him 'Mama can't come to the phone cause she and Matty are inside the clothes tunnel'. Ewan wanted to speak to me, Mark tries to hand me the phone and accidentally dropped the phone into the shoot, hitting poor Matty on the head.
