My cabbage is starting to come on strong, my greens, onions, radishes, lettuce, and cold crops are growing. Next week, I will start putting out my warm-weather crops. Tomatoes and green beans will be next, along with peppers and cucumbers.
I will start looking for mushrooms and a few wild greens. Dandelions are growing everywhere; they are all edible. Roots, greens, and flowers can be eaten. Most people just kill them with weed spray.
There are lots of things that grow wild that a person could survive eating them. The knowledge of these is being lost because people have stopped using them over the years.
I may not be able to pass them on to the next generation, but I will continue to enjoy them. I truly believe this kind of eating promotes good health. Sourdock, narrow dock, lambsquarters, polkgreens, Shawnee greens, and others are available for those taught in wild foods.
God did give us an earth that would supply our needs for food and shelter. It does take a lot of work, but it is worth it.
Could I live off the land? Yes, if I had to.
I think man may have gotten lazy over the years of having everything provided by a grocery store.
I do have over two hundred jars of canned food from my garden. It is hard work done in my spare time, but I can eat well without going to the store.
I am thinking about making some bread out of acorns this fall, just to try it. It will be a lot of work, but I think it will be good.
I cook lots of recipes that God has given me over the years. I just have thoughts hit my mind and I use them. I guess I should write a wild game recipe book and wild produce.
Am I a man living in the past? I cure my own bacon and hams. Deer meat can be cured and is delicious. I make my own summer sausage, bologna, and jerky.
I am a child of God, trusting in him.

YESTERDAY'S DEVOTION
The handwriting is on the wall; I just need to read it and understand what it really means. There have been great people who blaze trails and make great accomplishments in their journeys. Some have even been called legends. One thing they all have held in common is that even legends die.
We all have a limited number of days to accomplish all the things we deem important in our lives. While we are young, we need to strive for the goals we have in life. The day will come when we can no longer do such things. We will find ourselves heading towards the end of our journey.
We were once strong and capable of doing almost anything we wanted to accomplish. As the days pass by slowly we do not realize that our bodies begin to wear out and our strength begins to leave us. We feel like we are still young in our minds, but that is far from the truth when it comes to our body functioning the way it once did.
I have people getting after me all the time about not getting on roofs anymore nor climbing ladders with no one around. I know that is right at my age, but I have done it all my life. I remember the days of working in spar mines and having to climb 100-plus feet up a ladder to get in my working place.
We mined from the bottom up, and each time we would make a run several hundred feet from the manway, we would have to go higher and make another run. We did mine one place over two hundred feet high, and I would climb two hundred feet to get in my working place.
I ran jackleg drills to shoot rounds down each evening and move out what I did not need to stand on the next day. I would do it all over again the next day. I never thought much about how hard the labor was. After work, I would be working on the Church building for several more hours.
I was young and strong and could handle working two jobs with no thoughts about it. Well, today I would not want to be mining and trying to do all the other things I do. I have slowed down, no matter what people might think. I truly know how much I have slowed down.
Yes, it is time for me to allow the younger generation to climb up on roofs and ladders to fix and repair things. What a great journey I have had, and I have gained a wealth of talents in working on different projects over the years.
I can do carpenter work, run big machinery, weld, use a cutting torch, put things together, run big diamond drills, jackleg drills, roof houses, and many more projects over the years. I guess my greatest accomplishment has been obeying God in the calling he put on my life. Preaching the Gospel is the one thing I will not slow down doing.
Sometimes we just have to realize it is time.
This is me thinking out loud. I have worked hard all my life. I have been a pastor for 52 years, and I have been preaching for 55 years of my life. What a great journey I have had. God has blessed me from day one in my life.

I went to St Louis yesterday and did a funeral for a very special person my Aunt Rheta Townsend. I got to see all four of her children and grandchildren plus a lot of my relatives I cherish dearly.
I was very appreciative of the family for giving me the privilege of preaching the service. I love each and every one of my Missouri family and those that live out of state.
We are all walking the path towards eternity. I am praying that all will accept the free gift Christ has offered. We can't earn it nor do we deserve it, but by faith through grace it is the greatest gift of all.
I came back to a great revival service last evening and it rounded out my day. I was really thankful that my wife was up to the trip with me, it makes it much better to have her along.
We both were heavy hearted thinking about our son on his birthday and needed time together.
I am looking forward to the last night of revival this evening. Come and be with us. Honey Comb Church of God 99 Karbers Ridge Road.

The words of an old song are ringing in my ears this morning. When the trumpet of the Lord will sound and time will be no more. These are Words that give us hope beyond this present life. Time is only important in this present life.
Once we get to God's prepared place for us we will never have to worry about time running out. Nothing will be done on a time table, because time has become forever. No sorrows, no sickness, no trials, no tribulations this will all be passed away.
We will live with the King of glory. He will be our light and there will never be darkness again. His faithful people will be given the promise of eternal life. What will the new heavens and the new earth be like? I don't think we have the answer for this question, but by faith I believe it will be the greatest place ever known.
I am drawing ever nearer to the day I will be finding out and my heart is overflowing with the joy of the Lord that will take me home.
Earthly gain is very temporary, but eternal gain will be the greatest riches we have ever known and will not pass away.
I have been asked over the years, what if you're wrong and there is no heaven. I can tell them very quickly I know there is a heaven and a God that created it, because I can feel him living in my soul. I proceed to tell them living a Christian life is the best route anyone could take no matter what. I am not lying, cheating, committing crimes, nor cursing.
I walk in the love of God and it causes me to love others. I love good fellowship and seeing people's lives blessed. Peter told the lame man, " Sliver and Gold have have none, but what I have I give it to you. In the Name of Jesus rise and walk."
I may not be able to give money to all in need, but I can share the Love of God. Which do you suppose the lame man would rather have had, money or healing? This worlds riches will fade away, but heaven is forever.

We are living in the time Scripture is being fulfilled daily and yet, many don't even know it is happening.
Those of us who do are drawing ourselves closer to God. Revival is highly important. It is time for us to seek God's will for our own life.
I don't condemn people; however, I do condemn sin and preach against it. I don't have the right to throw stones at anyone, but I do have the right to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is not I that brings condemnation to the world, it is the Word of God. It is our guide to heaven.
We are still in revival seeing lives changed one at a time.
We have several facing troublesome waters, but God will deliver them. They are prepared to face the battle with God on their side.
Always remember we are striving to make heaven our home. Stand strong, square your shoulders back and march forward in God.
