New arrival to the ranch on Independence Day. Jackie chickens. Going to make some tasty sandwiches someday.

People used to say, "Spare the rod, spoil the child."
It is biblical.
"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him."
"He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly."
Proverbs 22:15; 13:24
Murph this morning. (1mi run, 300 squats, 200 pushups, 100 pullups, 1 mi run with 20lbs on back.) Hadn't done it in a few months but started having nagging pain coming back. I've found sometimes when something hurts, you need to use it more, not less.

The birds are loving their new home. This automatic door is pretty slick too.

Birds got some exercise in the summer-like weather.
Trying out some laying chickens this year with a few ducks thrown in for good measure.

The predominant image presented of Jesus today is of a meek and mild lamb. But have you heard of the lion of the tribe of Judah?

I preached this Sunday's sermon on some of the history of First Baptist Church of Wisconsin Rapids and the church's statement of faith. Listen at the link below!
"FBC planted by CH Rust in 1903. The beginning of the American Baptist church planting movement in Philadelphia in 1707. Baptists' commitment to sound teaching and the true gospel (1689 London Baptist Confession, pastoral training), and the spread of that gospel. What Baptists believe about baptism. The mission of the church: to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Why Jesus gave the church that Great Commission: those who do not believe in Christ will die in their sins."
