    About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

    I never really thought about Allison not being in the vlogs much but I did know she's a nurse and as a nurse myself I know how hard it can be and the long hours that have been put in during the pandemic.
    Also to be totally honest it's her choice to be on camera or not. We are privileged to be part of your daily lives and Allison has a demanding job in the community.
    So why do so many people feel a need to know why she isn't seen.

      *The following is happening in our World and no one is noticing.*
      1. Armageddon is about 4 action events.
      1st horse, Bow = *Send* it.
      2nd horse, Sword = *Strike* it.
      3rd horse, Scales = *Split* it.
      4th horse, Fire = *Sear* it.
      That ='s Our planet for the last 2 years have averaged 3.23 Rockets a day into space.
      That's hundreds of rockets we've *Send*/sent up.
      We've sent close to a 1000 Rockets/with Elon saying he's sending another 1000.
      They are *weapons* designed to stop "Wormwood" in the book of Revelation in the Bible.
      All Telescopes on this planet are pointing in the same direction.
      Elon is building underground tunnels in major cities.
      "Wormwood" is going to hit the PACIFIC OCEAN. *EVACUATE*.
      All the ELITE TOP COMPANIES ARE EVACUATING THE PACIFIC COASTS...SO SHOULD YOU!!!
      2. "The mark of the beast".
      Take 3 6's and place them in a circle and you have a virus warning symbol.
      But the Mark is the VACCINE. And because it is a global problem it will demand a global solution.
      *The Vaccine will be given Airborne and it will land on your forehead and hands.*
      It will try to alter Chromosome 7 lamb1.
      It is during these moments where the Bible mentions: *You will wish the mountains to fall on you.*
      And this is also the moment where the Bible mentions: The "few" and the "many".
      "Few" will die from this Vaccine (millions) and "many" will live (billions).
      This vaccine will cure all diseases BUT it will not remove the Pain from any injuries you receive.
      That is the moment of the "delusion" mentioned in Revelations.
      If you get a cut or any injury, the pain will never go away, they just keep building up.
      You will wish the "mountains to fall on you".
      666 (six - sick - sicknesses) *Six species of human corona viruses are known* ,
      with some species subdivided into two different strains,
      making seven strains of human corona viruses altogether.
      And you who think the part about the "buying and selling unless you have the mark" is a chip ..that's not right.
      You have to understand the person who wrote revelations was seeing specific moments of the future.
      When He saw those buying and selling who had the "mark", he was looking at those who were living during the
      4 Action Events of Armageddon (see my other video please) and the 7 year reign of the antichrist. Those who are
      "born again" have done been raptured away with Jesus. *The body of Christ doesn't go thru those events.* Only ones alive
      are the ones who have *LIVED* who got the mark. You see, though everyone gets it..not everyone dies from it. Those who did
      die are the *"few"* who are "raptured to Jesus". The "mark" only kill the "born again" people of Jesus (see video and comments for
      further understanding)

    Lots of wisdom in accepting your spouse so fully and supporting each other’s dreams. What a lovely gift to her for you to see her needs and to respect them.

    Very sweet story of two people who understand that the two of you are not carbon copies and that you do not have to be so in order to have a good marriage. Lovely to see that you are supportive of each other.
    Clearing the snow from Allison's car and warming it up for her is one of the sweetest and most appreciated and meaningful things you could ever do for her - and the fact that you do it every day is phenomenal.
    (Tip: Think CARPORT!)
    Congratulations on the 10 Year Anniversary and may you celebrate many, many more anniversaries!
    Best wishes from New Mexico, USA for a thriving farm and NP practice.

    somehow strange that you opened "the door of your private home" to us viewers. I did not feel that it was my business to know what is on the other side of that door. But that might also be a cultural difference. (German) Regardless, thank you for honoring your wife, loving her with the clean car every day.

He enjoys his career and he enjoys traveling and I am a homebody and would rather work at home and work on the property. It works for us, too. It's a balance and we both accept each other for who we are. Congratulations on 10 years! 2021 is our 10 year as well 😊

    Morgan, I found your story and this video very romantic. It is rare to see the kind of relationship that you and Alison have, where you both made significant sacrifices so you BOTH could pursue your dreams together, even though some of your dreams are different.
    The two of you are very inspiring. You don't shy away from hard work to help Alison realize her dreams or your own. Too many people are unwilling to accept anything but instant gratification.
    It's great to see that sometimes, the good guys win.

    I love that you clean the snow and ice from her car. After college I lived at home for a year. I started work at 6am. Mom was up first, she was a stay at home Mom, she made the coffee. Dad was up second. I got ready in the mornings listening to the hum of their conversations in the kitchen. So I drank Mom’s coffee and enjoyed a warm snowless car thanks to Dad every morning. I felt their love then and still feel it to this day .... they have been gone many years.
