I love watching you guys. I see God all over your lives. It is truly enjoyable!

[cynthiafisher]

I love it that you’re reading the actual Bible with the kids instead of story books or other books. The Word is Life!
You guys are so FUN! I love it. Also, you need to get about 75 chickens! And electric fence to keep them safe.

I was starting my journey with God and told myself that I couldn’t go to sleep without reading a chapter in the Bible, that was 4-5 years ago. I’m still reading a chapter every day!

This is the happiest channel on YouTube. Those of us who believe in the power of the family get reaffirmed in our faith every vlog you do. Christianity is a big tent for the faithful of many languages, cultures and beliefs. Keeping it at the forefront of your family will produce happy, healthy adults. It is so enjoyable to listen to you. Truly a God-ordained marriage!

I so feel this was God and your spouses reaching down from heaven to bring you both together.. This is such a beautiful union.. 🙏 God is so great..

I homeschooled my kids in the 80s when we were underground, it wasn’t quite excepted in those days. It’s come a long way. My family who founded Pensacola Christian college and Abeka book were real pioneers for homeschooling back in the day and I’m thankful for my cousins Arlin and Beka . I’m glad it’s really evolved and gotten better through the years.

My husband and I dated 6 weeks before we married. We celebrated 52 years of marriage this year. You know when it’s right!

[karensaurage]

I’m proud of y’all for going ahead and getting married therefore teaching your children it’s not ok to just live together. You took a gamble and look where you are today. Marriage is WORK something most people are not willing to do. You have a God given marriage.

Give God the Glory! God is in the Plan "always"!!! Your story is proof of how God has a personal plan for all of us! God Bless your family!

[barbb.]

Please ramble. I just love hearing what you have to say about whatever. Sweet little Evelyn.❤

[JinaEzell]

As a large homeschool family, we loved hearing other’s stories…keep going!!!

[judywold]

I think it is so awesome how the Lord put your families together so quickly. Your children are SO BLESSED to live in a Godly home. Your both doing such a awesome job raising your Children in the Lord.

[kariwebb]

I love love your story. All the glory to God!! Every time I see a silver dollar city commercial I say your family needs to be in it.

[juanitasellshouses]

I'm awed and impressed that Tamara finds time to fix her hair! I don't watch shorts, but on these long form videos, she always looks great. Your story definitely needs to be in a book!

[seedelle]

Going through the Bible a chapter at a time. I can only imagine the children questions. And their insight. I noticed so much lately with young children knowing things about God. Which seems they are getting the information straight for the Lord. Beautiful

Love hearing how you manage wrangling all your boys. My husband and I had 7 boys. The laundry was never done but I did several loads every day. I handled the sock issue but sewing in a good knot of thread at the toe of every sock. Each boy had their own color thread. Always knew who the socks belonged to.
Getting to church on time was a must as often we were serving so we planned in extra time and changed our mindset. So if the service started at 8 we planned to be there by 7:45. If the trip took 30 minutes we gave ourselves another extra 15 minutes and took the mindset that we needed to be out the door by 7. We were always late getting out the door because as you know there is always gonna be something, but planned in enough wiggle room that we generally made it to church on time. Older boys helped with getting littles ready and into their car seats. I’m sure your older kids help out a lot too. Large families are quite manageable but you do have to run a tight ship.
