All About Me... Hello. My name is Oliver. I am 14 and 6 feet 2 inches tall. I'm homeschooled by my mother. When I'm an adult, I would like to have a farm supply store selling animal feed, seed, and tools. I'd also like to have a small farm so I could raise animals for my own personal use. My hobbies include carving, sword fighting, skiing, snowboarding, working with my dad, and slaughtering chickens. I enjoy helping another family on their processing days and I have slit the throats of around 2000 chickens and turkeys. I also enjoy reading. My favorite book is Tom Sawyer because of his clever schemes and mischief. I just did finish a book named "Bruchko" about a 19-year-old missionary who goes to the Indians in Venezuela and the trials he has as he tries to Christianize a primitive tribe.

The meaning of Oliver's name... With Oliver's arrival, we began a tradition of giving the children middle names that would forever remind us of what God was doing in our lives at the time He blessed us with the child. Oliver's middle name is Cole. He is named after my (Joy's) father, Coley, who was used by the Lord in a miraculous way when we lost a business and almost lost our home because of the tremendous debts related to the business.
