You Are Not Forgotten

Jesus was in the boat with the disciples when they first encountered a storm (Matt. 8:24), but the second time they were buffeted by the waves, they were alone. Not until about three o'clock in the morning did Jesus appear to them walking on the water and saying, "I am here. Don't be afraid" (Matt. 14:24-27).

Jesus allowed them to be alone in danger much as a loving mother-bird thrusts her babies from the nest to teach them to use their wings. Jesus wanted to strengthen the disciples' faith so they would learn to be confident of His constant presence.

In all their storms of temptation, He would be near. Even when they could not see Him, He would be an ever present help in trouble.

Sometimes it seems as though the Lord has forgotten us, but His eye is on us. At just the right time, we will discover He is with us and that His delay was indeed good.

Thank You, Jesus, that in every situation, You intend to pour out good.

"You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees" (Psalm 119:68).

Most people ask me for 20 to 30 acres, or more. But let's take a look at reality here. A football field is three quarters of one acre. Thus 5.1 acres or more is a very roomy place to live acreage wise. If you want horses however think 15 acres or more. Each horse will need an average of 5 to 9 acres depending on how you decide to raise the horse; that acreage is in addition to the land that your home, driveway, out buildings, garden and other non-fenced areas take in. Many people are thinking of one, two, three or four horses for the family enjoyment; if so they need about 3 or more acres for the home and other human related improvements and should figure an additional average of seven acres for each horse or pony.

There are many good articles in Backwoods Home Magazine; but most of them leave out the initial expense, maintenance expense and almost always the expense of replacing worn components of these so called money saving off-the-grid systems. You can however design a passive solar home, one with most windows facing south west and few facing other directions. Most older farm houses are already designed like this, not all of them are well insulated however.

Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots and keep it moving.
