Last one?

Unless I get a fall crop - this could be the last tomato of the year.  Time to try to root some cuttings.  84,89,73,0,B

The Evil Out Here...Part IV

Six thousand years of human history exhibit that we very quickly absorb the course of the world around us and lose our innocence, becoming self-centered and deceived like everybody else - Revelation 12:9.  The vast majority in this world is utterly unaware that they are in bondage to Satan - so unaware that most would scoff if told so. Even if informed through the preaching of the gospel,  they do not fully grasp either the extent or the importance of these factors unless God draws them by opening their eyes spiritually - John 6:44-45.

if we live in the spirit...

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

New item for the tourists...

Killing claw in bronze from the dinosaur Deinonychus antirrhopus.   This species which could grow up to 11 ft. long, lived during the early Cretaceous Period about 115 - 108 million years ago.  Fossils have been recovered in Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Oklahoma.  89,96,76,0,B

a little pump action

It has been over 2 years since I have been able to pump out of the arroyo.  Had a feeling I would be getting a chance soon so two days ago I changed the oil and drained the old gas out of the trash pump and made sure it would fire right up when I needed it.  I needed it this afternoon.  Was able to tank 2,000 gallons while the creek was running.  66,88,66, .375",B
