The Journal of Plymouth Rock Ranch

At 4:51 a.m. this morning, I awoke to sheet lightning illuminating the dark morning sky.    The rumble and light was constant.  I wasn’t the only one who had heard it.  I heard the trailer door shut.  It was Callan going outside to gather some feed that had been left out.
The rain started and Callan [...]

We have friends who live just outside of Nashville TN.  I was just a little concerned when I read on a forum that I’m on that there had been massive flooding in TN, including the area where our friends live.  Thankfully we were able to find out that they were ok, as were their animals, [...]

I encourage you to take the time to listen to these videos.  Very sobering…………

Think it can’t happen again?????
Thank you, Kitty Werthmann, for your testimony.
I used to dislike studying History.  It had no relevance to me.  Now I understand that we must understand *accurate* history to know where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re [...]

Well, the Predicaments are coming in fast and furious! I don’t think that the timing is any different than normal. I think it’s probably that we just don’t have any men here to depend upon to diagnose and then fix our mechanical problems.
I had to go to town today to pick up Predicament [...]

Today is a big day.
First off, the first flight of the day:   Rick will deliver Ashley and Larissa to the Seattle airport so they can fly home after spending 10 days in Washington with their Dad.

Rick, the two boys and Perry, who had worked his busiest weekend of the year prior to coming to help us, were up into the wee hours of Saturday morning working by flood lights that were on our trailer roof, hanging from trees and shining up from the ground.  We were back up at 7 [...]

The promised pictures of Wednesday’s progress on our tent enclosure project were left in our camera at our Thanksgiving Day host’s house : (  So, those will have to wait until we can get our camera back.
Friday brought more helpers, most of whom came with our last minute calls for help.  We are so grateful [...]

Last night we had the privilege of listening to Brad Phillips, President of the Persecution Project,  speak about the work that he is doing in Sudan, Africa.  He spoke of the persecution of the church and its perseverance and faithfulness despite the horrors of civil war and genocide.   He spoke of parents who rejoice instead [...]

…….after watching this:

Holy Father, have mercy upon our country for this HORRIFIC sin against You, the Creator of these special, unique, individual, precious, little ones, our own flesh and blood children, whom we have sacrificed to the idol, “Convenience”…..
Oh Lord,I shudder at Your feet for this sin of child sacrifice murder in the clean sounding [...]

This past week has been spent getting ready for our Reformation 500 trip to Boston.  Whew!  It is not easy getting 11 people, a tent and trailer, and all of our animals set for a trip like this!  We are currently in the midst of the last minute organizing and cleaning up so our place [...]

At the beginning of the year, our family sat down and talked about some goals for 2009.  One of them was to get a milk cow.  Check.  Milk cow purchased.  Milk cow delivered bull calf.  Milk cow provides milk.  Fresh milk, hot chocolate and pudding in the cooler months,  ice cream and yogurt making in [...]

My niece, Carlene,  was  diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in January.
The saga of lost paperwork, waiting for appointments, a dead tissue biopsy requiring the scheduling and carrying out of yet another biopsy, PET Scans, bone marrow tests and whatever else, she is finally scheduled for receiving her chemo port and possibly chemo treatment today.
The last plan [...]

When I wrote the blogposts “Unexpected Turns in Life” and “Our Every Breath is From the Lord” I didn’t know what was to come just a few days later.
My brother-in-law, John Eaves, was visiting from California to attend the SAICFA and SAICFF.  He’s a Concept Illustrator that has worked on such series as Star Trek, [...]

Proverb 27:1
Boast not thyself of to morrow;
for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
 
Proverbs 16:9
A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Each day, we make our plans, we make our to-do list and we go about our day. But, there are those days where God says, [...]

In my post, Projects, Projects, Projects, I shared the top 4 projects of the moment. We’ve made a tad bit of progress since that post that I’ll share here.
Project #1 – Getting the Utility Shed enclosed to waterproof it.
We’ve now put about 1/2 of the OSB exterior walls up. We also got [...]

The ramifications of the State of California’s decision to legalize sodomite marriages, are now starting to come to light.
The State of California has changed their marriage licenses to now read “Party 1″ and “Party 2″. There is no more “Bride” and “Groom.” There is now “Party 1″ and “Party 2.” These new [...]

 
Thank you, Kelly, of Generation Cedar, for bringing these videos to our attention through your blog. These so touched my heart that we, too, must share them.
Gianna Jessen miraculously survived a late term saline abortion and death at the hands of the abortionist in 1977. Today, this “fiery young lady” who bears [...]

With the economic slowdown has come a work slowdown for our family. This is bad in the sense that there is little money coming in from our business. This is good in the sense that Rick and the boys are home and are working on the two most important projects we have right [...]

And the Lord taketh away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.
The Lord took Michele home to be with Him in glory this morning, September 25, 2008,  just after 7 a.m.
Thank you all for your prayers in these past few weeks.   Please continue to remember the Chaney and Ringer Families in your prayers in [...]

This morning during the prayer time of our worship service, Michele’s father, Mr. Ringer, gave us a brief update on Michele’s re-evaluation and her condition.
Michele’s condition is very serious. The doctors want to use the term “brain dead,” even when her condition does not even meet the medical definition of brain dead. [...]

Galilee looks just like my Mom. My Mom was born about 5 years after Shirley Temple. Both my Mom and Galilee had ringlet curls just like Shirley Temple and have the cute little round face, infectious smile complete with dimples and shorter stature too. My Mom always heard growing up how she [...]

The following is the newest update from the Ringer Family on Michele’s condition:
Sorry its been awhile since the last update.  Sometimes the changes are so small it would sound the same.
The concern we all have with Michele is that she would be able to tolerate the nutrition they are putting in her instead of [...]
