About this Blog

After banging my head in frustration over the obsession everyone around me had with procreation, I went online to find a community of people who were more like me. I have met some fascinating people along the way, but I have also found that many in the childfree community are quite hostile toward Christianity and a Christian world view. I understand that, unfortunately, many of my Christian sisters and brothers have given them a lot of ammunition (undoubtedly, I have been guilty of this at times too). Not wanting to be perceived as "trolling" for expressing my Christian perspective on other people's forums and blogs, I use my own blog to share my musings on childfree life while at the same time expressing my faith.

My intention is to show support to childfree people, both Christian and non-Christian, but from my own Christian perspective. Questions and constructive comments are welcome; negativity and intolerance are not.

Travel: M’s the Word, Part III

Missouri: Aside from a few visits to friends and family in out-of-the-way places, Missouri has been a drive-through state for me. Now that I no longer know anyone living there, can anyone tell me what might make it worth going back to see?


Montana
Montana: Hands down, one of the most breathtaking states in the union. I have enjoyed every moment I spent visiting the funky little town of Bozeman, wandering Lewis and Clark Caverns, listening to the Rocky Mountain Accordion Festival in Philipsburg, driving over mountain roads, stumbling through rubble in the ghost town of Granite, and hiking near Missoula. Standing on a moutaintop, no sign of civilization as far as the eye can see, admiring the wildflowers and critters, in awe of the rock and trees and clouds… you feel like you are in the presence of God. I would take the vast wilderness of Big Sky country over a bustling city any day.

There's a reason they call it Big Sky country.

  1. Hello! I just recently came across your blog. I am also a Christian and recently (past two years) made the decision to be CF. I am still single so I am praying for a man who is also called to not have children. Anyway, I live in Missouri and LOVE this beautiful state! If you like rivers and caves, Missouri has those in abundance!

    St. Louis, where I live, is only second to DC with the number of free things to do/see including the art and history museums, an amazing zoo and more! Come visit MO for sure!
