1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1,2 Copyright © 2018 M.E.

Trapping season is soon so Mountain Man is boiling up his traps. Here is how he does it and has for years..... 1st he digs them out of his big chest he stores them in...then he has me help him put a nail in the jaws Why? To boil them out or else the critters smell the rust if ya don't! He takes cedar boughs and adds them to boiling pans with water that he will place the traps over (in the water to boil) While they are boiling(20-30mins hard boil if you can), he cleans out the storage box. He uses some of the boughs to clean it with (antiseptic properties in the sap and needles plus covers old smells). He then lines the box with boughs to lay the blackened(by the boiling process) traps on so they are ready for use! Done! Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2018 M.E.

Do not be sheep following the crowd! Know who your enemy is...be FAITHFUL to God, Trust the plan. Pray, Pray, Pray ever so much!! God Bless All Of Us!! Copyright © 2018 M.E.

 Thought we better update ya on what is happenin' on the farm. Gathering wood to keep the home fire burnin'! The cold has set in for sure and our only warmth in the house besides snugglin' is the wood stove. Thank God for that! It has gotten pretty cold a few nights already and we just got started! The older chickens have decided that now is the time to molt! Ha Ha...they look rather naked without a lot of their feathers. Well not really...but they do look a bit underdressed! I caught one of the younger ones taking a dirt "bath" in the sunshine. She looked as if she was thoroughly enjoying herself! I do have a funny story to tell on these new girls. I laughed and laughed at them! The snow showed up overnight and we got a couple inches. Mountain Man went out that morning and opened the coop for them. They stepped foot outside and headed right back for the coop. I told him they will be alright...it is all new. Well I went out a bit later, and noticed there...

And so many more..... Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson

Matthew 10:34-38 34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law- 36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' 37 "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
