And effective weapons in some scenarios

I have struggled with insomnia for many years.

I started asking God for help with it. I then started seeing verses about “rising and seeking God early” everywhere, and I was like, “um.. yeah, that’s kinda what I’ve been asking for help with!”

Then I came across the literature about early light exposure, and what different frequencies of light do to our brains.

So for the last couple weeks, I have been waking up and standing in the sun, then eating protein. Then at 7:30 going inside into a red light environment, with night shift on my devices.

I also felt prompted to stop using a heater in the evening, to increase the variety of temperatures, amd to stop eating at night.

I seriously feel like a different person. I haven’t felt energy like this in years.

It’s not just awake energy, it’s deeper. I feel alive. Like im waking up.

I’m now researching mitochondrial health, reading “good energy” by Casey Means. My wife bought it for me after I told her the things I felt God was telling me to do, and she heard a podcast listing all of the same things. Even the temperature stuff.

I can’t tell you how encouraged I feel. God hears. And is kind. And summer is just starting…

Par-cooking some sourdough pizza crusts. This thing does anything my stove can and most things my oven does, the house stays cooler, most of the mess is outside. Thank you gift horse. #grownostr #foodstr #Blackstone

Psalm 2

Life lesson:

If something cost $1,000, and it is on sale for $750, and then you decide to buy it, you did not save $250. You spent $750.

GM!

Ok got me. Look at the black Hungarian hot pepper from my pleb friend Ghost

There is a type of green bean that all the old timers/ grandparents in our area would say is “The green bean” you should grow nothing else is worth your time. We call them “half runners” I haven’t found large seed suppliers carry them. But you can buy them at local feed and seed stores in a brown paper bag. I’ve grown these beans and my experience is that they are very tough and chewy. Maybe I’m just bad at growing them. But they are excellent if you are canning or making ham, potatoes, and green bean dishes which are typically cooked for half a day around here. They hold their texture and don’t turn to mush. No one said why the half runners were must have, the older generation just assumed you would be canning.

I don’t know how common potatoes, green beans, and ham is outside of southwest Ohio. Maybe very common? But around here how long that dish is cooked is tied to the expectation you are using half runners. But it’s all unexplained and unspoken.

Thats the one 😁

Didn't even know he was still around till the debate with Pelosi... not exactly a challenge tbh.
