While I don't get very sentimental when it comes to the "coming-of-age" story of a somewhat awkward, freckle-face, red-headed orphan girl who always has her head in the clouds dreaming about poetry, flowers, bosom friends, and kindred spirits, there is something about it that grabs my attention. It's the character of Matthew Cuthbert, who, in more ways than one, shows a kind of Chirst-likness in his management of his farm and his display of Gospel-like grace to little orphan Anne. I confess, it's the kind of mindset I wish I saw more evident in myself.

- [Homesteading to the Glory of God](https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/homesteading-to-the-glory-of-god/) - We decided to homestead for many of the same reasons others do: A desire to be self-reliant, to give more time to spiritual pursuits, and to work with our kids on developing hands-on craft and life skills. A possible negative effect, however, to moving out to the country is isolating ourselves from the very world we believe as Christians we are called to reach.

Rather, when I think of homesteading, I like to envision the intellectual agrarian standard. I think of George Washington of Mount Vernon, Thomas Jefferson of Monticello, and...don't laugh...Bilbo Baggins of Bag End. These men not only cultivated the soil of their gardens, but they cultivated the soil of their minds with devoted habits of reading and study. In addition to admiring the disciplines of the intellectual agrarian, I also admire the discipline of the educated homemaker who also balances her time in managing the home and studying how to better manage it.

The colors, textures, and shapes that I've seen some of them produce are truly pieces of art, worthy of being showcased in a professional gallery. These soaps make excellent gifts and decorative additions to any home. However, when I shop for (or make my own) soap for everyday use, I don't need something to hang on my wall, but a "work horse" I can use to get a specific job done.
