Happy New Year!Welcome to the first entry of the Poverty Cabin Journal, an account of our journey in building a cabin of our dreams. First of all, I have to say that although I love the name of the pond, Little Poverty Pond, I don't like the name for the blog. It is too depressing. I appreciate the puritans that named the pond so long ago, in their hope for the simple life. It may be a sign of the year to come if we name it that, because we will be much poorer financially after this project. Much poorer financially but so much richer spiritually and socially. We know that this will be true. At some point I may change the name, if I can come up with one that's better.
