Look, I love God, Jesus, the Bible and all that, however... you're really not doing a good job encouraging anyone to be serious about spiritual issues. In fact, your method will probably drive many away. Quit spamming and quite ruining the reputation on your accounts.

Yup you are building up your family financials. Wise way of thinking...

Thanks @weetreebonsai! I appreciate the encouragement!

You are doing it right!

To be so free and independent, raising those kids to be self suffickent?

Who ould as for anything more!

Upped and Steemed

Thanks! That's why I figured I go deeper and share some more back-story again!

You're welcome! Also, great work on becoming a pro blogger so fast! You're new to it too arn't you?

Never done nuthin' like this until about two years ago... when I heard about steemit!

Good for you!!! Lotsa transformation these past two years wow! Good for you for learning how to be independent. Which as you demonstrate comes with boatloads of interdependence. Did you & your wife grow up on a farm or in the city? Haha i am so curious....

We are mostly "city kids." My folks were both raises on farms, but they moved to the city and had kids.... one of which was me!

Even more impressive!! Way to go 'city kid'!! What's the funnest is how happy your kids are! And, how content you all seem snuggling into your 10 acres. Working hard to Steward the land! So good to see your success story becoming! It's really motivating. The ozarks is a very special environment. Steem On @pappa-pepper i really enjoy your blogs. 🙌🍓🐳🎶🦋

Hi,

Smart to be prepared for the future and for safety of your family and home.

Wow, I woke up this early morning, it is exactly 4:32 am Here in Naija and I saw your page @papa-pepper this is the food for the thought , really a journey to be examine. Great work sir. I believe in you journey for success and happiness.

Thanks man and good to hear from you again! Now it is 3:13 am here, so I'll have to get to bed! LOL!

We had keets back in California. They were so funny. Loyal to each other, too, but not too bright. They would fly out over the fence and then run back and forth squeaking because they couldn't get back in. One time we had a pair and one of them kept running back and forth inside the fence. That's how we realized its mate was stuck on the other side!

What everything hatch perfectly my buddy.

really an example of a figure that really inspires everyone. The spirit of independence and independence makes it independent of dependence. By optimizing the potential of self and the existing environment can meet most of daily needs. Vegetable from the garden, the needs of meat and even milk can be taken from sheep and goat as you've ever posted before.
the most exhilarating and inspiring is when you say steemit has been able to make a revolution and transition in your life with family.
which I'm sure is @ papa-pepper, you have done everything with a touch of love. I can see through your post about your garden and your cattle. Starting from chicken, duck sheep and others. You take care of them wholeheartedly. it makes me more determined to always wait for your post.
hopefully through this platform I can keep growing while continuing to expect support from all friends of the steemit. I'm sure steemit is a big family unlimited by space and time.
May this steemit bond strengthen and benefit all.
Thank you @ papa-pepper, thanks steemit

warm regard from Indonesia

You have a well-stocked homestead... ready for steem-pocalypse and then some!

LOL - Indeed!

We are frequently without electricity and sometimes out of water. We start cooking with electricity or gas. Then our kitchen is such that I can take the gas bottle outdoors and cook with wood. Our 43 coconut trees are constantly shedding limbs that are great for fire wood. One day it would be nice to have a generator, but it is not a must. Growing food, raising livestock is also so much more healthy than the alternatives.
Stocking up on canned goods, or bottling produce on our own is also a great idea. The climate here means there is no need for a source of heat for inside of the house.
Great info and post! Thanks!

Thanks man! Keep doing what you do and be blessed!

You also my friend!

Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

You are thinking and planning ahead for the future of your family. That is what everyone should be doing. Bad times can happen at any moment. We are living proof of that. If we hadn't been prepared we wouldn't have been in a position to help ourselves or our neighbours in tough times...
