“His Workmanship”
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath foreordained that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians...
Tried a modified bread recipe. This was the recipe for Jackie Clay's Honey Wheat Bread in her cook book, and I made honey white bread with it. It has turned out wonderfully. I have some picky eaters... I personally like the honey wheat version too.
I haven't figured out how to get the...
3 qts. of deboned chicken
4 qts. of broth
I had a froze some roosters last year, and canned them up on Saturday as I clean out the freezer. Tomorrow, I am canning four large beef roasts.
“The Good Shepherd”
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of...
I love it, and I have missed doing it the last few years. This has been a good reset and reminder about things for me. My next project is beef roasts, and a Boston butt. I am going to try something different with the beef roast this time. I'll post what I end up doing.
I taught myself how to...
Nice, FEM!!
Tater Update: They are coming up great now. I was getting very impatient.
My romaine lettuce has wilted terribly though. I hope it perks back up.
“For Now”
“Stand in awe, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.” Psalm 4:4
We have no idea what it will be like to stand in the glory of God. Our physical bodies would die if we saw him as he truly is in his glory without our resurrected souls in a...
It turned out pretty well. There was definitely some burnt spots, and I cut those off before I cooked it. I canned three quarts of deboned chicken to use in casserole, fajitas, and chicken salad. I slow cooked it all morning and also managed to cook down some pretty nice looking chicken broth.
Sowed winter squash, cucumbers, summer squash, and melons in trays to hopefully get a head start on them. I haven't done them like this before, but I am hoping for the best. Also, set out romaine lettuce plants in my raised beds. Mainly, in the open spaces. I made some manure tea too. I usually...
The only thing with that is that chickens are not ruminants; therefore, they are not going to use grass and forage like a cow or sheep would.
I have some chicken quarters that have been in the freezer for a while. I need to can them. I am worried about freezer burn. How will I know if they are...
Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
1. If you have the infrastructure, equipment, knowledge, and a little money you can pretty much be back to capacity in two weeks. I had downsized a lot with the intention of moving this summer and hopefully purchasing a place. However, that does not...
So, I am curious what are some specific lessons you all have learned about preparedness since this crisis began. I am going to reply too, but want to hear what others have learned!
“Preach the Gospel”
“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.” 1st Corinthians 1:17
My beloved, now more than ever do preachers, pastors, and evangelists need to heed to the wisdom of the...
“Abundantly Pardon”
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:7
Sin has cursed our world. It has destroyed families. It has sanctioned...
