Hi All,

I have been hangin' with CS for almost 2 years and have seen many good folks come and go. I did a lot of lurking and asked a few questions now and then. I just recently realized that there are other forums, like this one, because someone over on CS posted it during all the "stuff" that's going on. Anyway.......

I am born again, have been for about 8 years and I really appreciate being able to talk homesteading and being able to include Christian beliefs. Even though I love the lifestyle and am quite busy with a family, I am a Christian 1st and that reflects on who I am and how I do things. I realize that some people don't understand that. It's just nice to go where there are people who do understand.

I llike to garden, have raised chickens since I was quite young and now I have goats. My husband has a sharpening business so I know about sharpening things. We are also avid gun owners and we like to shoot and hunt. I will try to contribute if I can and I am really glad to be here. Thanks.

Hi Kathy, and welcome aboard! No one is asked to cut off anything but excessive vulgarity here. I wish I knew if you were close, I have lots of stuff I need to have sharpened. Look forward to getting to know you better!

Hi Kathy: There's another forum as well that you may be interested in: Christian Homesteaders Forum: http://www.stormpages.com/homestead/ I've been lurking here as well for a few weeks and like the atmosphere much better than CS, although I still visit there from time to time.
