The Whole Armor of God...

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The irony of it all...

I wonder how many of my blog readers have noticed that new badge on my opening page.  I was notified on Monday that my YouTube channel was added to a list of the top 20 Sustainable Living YouTubers by Feedspot.  Pretty ironic considering that one of the main things I have learned after 11 years of The Field Lab experiment, it that it is virtually impossible for one person to live a completely sustainable life out here (or just about anywhere else) - especially if you are a meat eater.  I suppose if I was a hardcore vegan - I might be able to make a go of it...but it is doubtful (and incredibly boring).  I pretty much have figured out that true sustainable living is just a myth.  There are lots of internet sources that promote it...but they always leave out things like gasoline for your vehicle, building materials and hardware, taxes, insurance, ect.  Sure I have long had all my water and electricity needs taken care of - but food is a whole other story.  One of the main reasons I haven't been growing anything in the greenhouse is because the amount of calories and nutritional value produced vs. the expense, time, and effort (and my precious rainwater) doesn't make it worthwhile - plus, I suck when it comes to farming.  From time to time I have been asked..."in all my years of living out here what have I found to be the most efficient means of sustaining myself?"  My answer....Amazon Prime.  80,90,52, .14",B

day off

No heavy lifting today...since I handled over 5,000 lbs of material yesterday.  Spent all day assembling clock #2.  This one is turning out to be much more temperamental than the Chupa clock and will take a lot more work to get it running smoothly.  77,80,50,0,B
