An Online Front Porch
Hello, friend!
My name is Nathan Patterson. I would like to thank you for joining me here at this little spot that I like to call “The Rural Journal”. It is a place that I may refer to as an “online front porch” – the type of place where you might pull up a chair and visit with family and friends.
The purpose of this site is simple.
I like to share glimpses of life in ways that encourages and inspires people to see God’s love. In doing so, I believe that when we know how much the Father loves us, it opens us up to opportunities to serve and love others.
Also, to go along with the rural theme, I hope to share different tidbits of information that people may find useful. You may find recipes, gardening tips and other items from various sources. Since some members of my family have food sensitivities, you may also find an occasional recipe that caters to those dietary needs.
To help pay for the upkeep of this site, you will find advertisements and banners on pages. Occasional links may be inserted into a blog post, as well. By clicking through on some of those links, we will get a commission for purchases made by our referrals.
Again, I would like to thank you for joining me here at “The Rural Journal”. I hope that it is a place that you will visit often – and please invite your family and friends to tag along!
Have a great day!
Nathan
