ROC: Accept Instruction and Gain Wisdom

My first article for Regenerate Our Culture Magazine appeared in today's issue. Entitled Accept Instruction and Gain Wisdom, it seeks to help you value what your parents have to say.

Here is an excerpt:

After days of debating over healthy organic feed versus conventional chemical-laden feed, I finally conceded and came to the realization that, since this is our first experience with raising poultry, it would be best to make the process as streamlined as possible. By using the pre-mixed feed, there would be less chance of death and disease and a better chance of survival and adequate nutrition (we couldn’t make mistakes by forgetting to add the vitamins, for example).

Now, after four weeks of chicken chores, I am remembering the arguments Dad and I had. And I say to myself, “Boy, am I glad we aren’t grinding the feed ourselves; those birds have been trouble enough! I don’t want any more to die, and I certainly don’t want any extra tasks!”

Be sure to read the complete article as well as the other fine features in this Back to School issue of Regenerate Our Culture Magazine.
