Hey GARDENERS! 🪴 ​Are you starting your beds yet? I just saw a video by James Prigioni where he grew a garden right in a commercial soil bag. It was inspiring! ​I’m working on a twist on that idea by making small garden beds to keep things as a simple weekend project. Here (see picture) was my first pass, but I think I’m going to go even simpler: block the weeds with cardboard, lay in the small beds, and then surround everything with wood chips to cover the rest of the cardboard and make it look a little less 'redneck.' ​If I do one or two of these a weekend, I should be ready to start planting as soon as the frost is gone. ​So, gardeners, what are you doing right now to get ready for the coming season? image
"Public servant" is, at best, a misnomer. They don’t wash feet—they write laws, issue fines, and wield force. They don’t serve you—they serve the system, the state, and their own careers. The phrase is meant to soften power, to make control sound kind. But true servants don’t need badges, titles, or immunity. #Power #PublicServant #Voluntaryist #Accountability #WakeUp
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." People keep thinking this election, this investigation, this law will finally bring accountability. But if the system protects power over justice, nothing changes. The Rule of Law seems like a good idea—just rarely a true one. Maybe the problem isn’t who’s in charge. Maybe it’s the game itself. #RuleOfLaw #Power #HistoryRepeats #Accountability #WakeUp
Every time a politician lies, people act shocked—or defend their favorite like they’re above it. Be honest: politicians lie. And if someone truly honest ran, most wouldn’t vote for them. Truth makes us uncomfortable. That’s the real problem. #politics #truth
I'm still reading through the prayers in the Bible. Maybe it's just me, but I'm fascinated by how God's people negotiated with Him. Consider this prayer by Moses. God had just saved the Israelites out of Egypt, and here they are—already making a golden calf to worship. He tells Moses, That's it. Stand back. I'm going to wipe out these people and start again with you, Moses. Many people know the story of Moses "standing in the gap," but have you ever really looked at this prayer? Exodus 32:11–14 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Despite the fact that God was going to destroy Israel, Moses didn’t believe the future was fixed. Instead, he thought God might be reasoned with—and he was right. Do you pray like Moses?
It's interesting to me how people in the Bible negotiate with God in their prayers. Here, Hannah expresses her belief that God will listen, that He can be moved to act, and that the future is not predetermined. Do you pray like Hannah? 1 Samuel 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
