  • The plea of the patriarchs

    Just as we the people of the United States have forefathers, such as George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Israel had forefathers as well. Instead of forefathers, the Bible uses the term, “patriarch.”
    In Genesis 12, God calls a man named Abram from the land of Ur, where they so happened to serve the moon god, Sin. As Abram relied solely on the voice of the Almighty, he took his wife, nephew Lot and a few others with him on the journey to Canaan land. It would be Canaan in which God tells Abram that the nation to proceed from him should dwell.

  • When life doesn’t make sense

    There are times we become confused and will not be able to figure out a way to solve our problems. Life is not always a smooth interstate and it’s good to remember that God is with us when we encounter unexpected roadblocks and detours.
    In these stressful situations, we can know that delays do not necessarily mean denial but could be an opportunity for us to stretch our faith and learn more about trusting God. There is a fascinating story found in Genesis chapter 22 about a man named Abraham and his wife Sarah.

  • Barnacles on plants are lichens

    Have you ever gotten blamed for something you haven’t done?  Most of us have experienced this and it is a dreadful feeling.  Well, there are a great many things we blame erroneously on one thing or another, and lichens are one of them. Lichens, often described as barnacles by worried gardeners, usually show up on woody plants after some sort of thinning or decline has occurred.  They are not the problem only the result of a change in the plant’s environment.

  • Shade devices for the vegetable garden

    It’s been hot and humid the last few weeks! I was hopeful that this summer was going to be idyllic…at least we got pop up rainstorms to keep things hydrated. These 90-degree days, however, are putting us on track for some serious heat and some of our vegetables will love it and some will not.  
    I know we can’t change the ambient air temperature on a 90 degree day but we can provide some shade for our plants on the hottest days of the summer with reasonable results.
