I love a friendly debate. (So few people know how to debate today) I can be friends with almost anyone with a different opinion if they are polite, principled, and think for themselves. It is a bit harder when they blindly repeat what authority tells them and verbally abuse me when my arguments hit home. #grownostr #debate

While enjoying our view after a climb to the peak of a rocky hill/mountain, we saw this military helicopter doing exercises. If you zoom in towards the loafing shed, you'll see the helicopter just left of the shed.

I've always been able to transfer as much money off of Strike as I wanted, to get it out of Strike and into my personal wallet. Today, it won't let me transfer off more than $25. What is going on? Is this just temporary? #strike #grownostr #Bitcoin

I was reading John Calvin's " Institutes of the Christian Religion" last night and in Volume 1, Chapter 8, Section 58 which was discussing how some people try to rank sins and treat some sins as not so bad. I read: "we have been commanded to 'love God with all our heart, with all our mind, and with all our soul'. Unless, then all the powers of the soul are intent on loving God, we have already abandoned obedience to the law. For the enemies who rise up in our conscience against his Kingdom and hinder his decrees prove that God's throne is not firmly established therein." This should remind us all that "there is none righteous, no not one", that we "all fall short of the glory of God" and that we can't earn our way into heaven by "good" works. Only Jesus is truly good and we rely on his goodness for our salvation and eternity. Whether we are Christians or not, our measure should always be the Bible and Jesus, not other people. Although we can always find someone worse than us, we can't even get close to the goodness of God. Thank God for his work of grace on the Cross. #grownostr #Christianity #Bible

Please pray for my family and particularly my youngest son. He is 16 and has Down Syndrome. He sometimes loses his temper and he is getting really strong. A week ago he lost it and was hitting all of us. Luckily his hitting was open handed, so, although it really hurt when he hit me upside the head, it didn't cause any real damage, but he could. When he gets into a mindless rage, he doesn't care what he damages or who he hurts. We are at a point that when I am trying to not hurt him and he doesn't care if he hurts me, I will lose every time. Pray for wisdom teaching and disciplining him. Pray that he would accept Jesus. Pray that he would have self control and not hurt anyone. So far the only people he hits are family, but if he hits someone else, he could wind up in jail for assault. I also worry that he could send one of us, most likely me, to the hospital. #prayerchain

Weeded 3 beds, planted 3 apple trees, 3 elderberry plants, 10 asparagus, and a bunch of seeds. My sons used my new woodchipper to chip enough mulch to mulch the apple trees. I am wiped out, but I got everything done, so I am ready for the coming week of rain.

I got 102 raspberry plants in the ground and I didn't get all of them I was given planted. I think I've gotten enough and I'm going to try to give away the rest. By the time I was done, I was worn out and getting eaten alive by mosquitos, so I didn't get a picture. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. #grownostr #gardening
