I have been inactive a very long time for BYH activity. I am very sorry to hear Joe passed away. It was kinda like returning to a class reunion to hear of a death since meeting last.

My family had our world turned upside down in February and March. The church we were involved in and lived at, etc., turned on me in ugly way and gave us 90 days to relocate. We moved back up to Montgomery Co, IN where our family is at. It was only an hour and 15 mins North of where we were at Hall.

I started a job as a cheese cutter at a cheese production factory in Crawfordsville that supplies Kroger. It's called Pace Dairy Foods and pays well with good benefits. I have been there a little over 60 days and have been at our new place 5 weeks.

We purchased a 3-1/2 acre property with just abt everything we were wanting on a creek with barn and 3 other outbuildings.

Between March and May I was working TSC while searching for real estate and a job at the same time, and was pretty depressed. God made things happen in His time and we put in an offer on our new place the same day Pace called to offer me the position. We now attend a little country church called Liberty Chapel, and I sit with my family having no responsibilities. I am no longer Pastor Dave; more like Cousin Dave! Haha. That is what my TSC manager began calling me after March til I finished out in May.

I have missed everyone and my family is doing very well now! We still have the meat rabbits, plan to get some Layers in September, and some dairy goats next Spring/Summer. I'll send some pics soon and keep everyone updated on new animal arrivals.

:hugs Welcome back, @Pastor Dave . You have been missed.:hugs

Sorry to hear about all the stress and trouble. I don't know if I have mentioned it, but I grew up as an Army Brat and Preacher's Kid (my dad is a retired Methodist minister). Thankfully, my family was spared such drama when I was a child, but in later years, I have heard about and witnessed "let's get rid of the preacher" movements. Normally, Methodists only rearrange their personnel right after their Annual Conference (3 months had to be painful, but can you imagine spending the better part of a year knowing you aren't wanted?) My dad actually got pulled out of retirement for a few months to fill in for one man who had a sort of breakdown.

May God continue to bless you and yours in this new chapter of your lives!

I had 5 dump truck loads of slag from the local steel mill brought in. It saved me abt half the cost of limestone gravel.
