Hey Rob. Good for you. I admire your energy and perseverance especially in these times of personal persecution.
May I suggest that you offer not only what the Psalm means to you but also how the message from God to His people fits within the overall context of the bible and maybe why God wants you to know what He is saying in the particular Psalm.
Rob I think it's is fantastic reading fron The Psalms from the Bible. Psalms is one of the Bible's most compassionate and heartfelt books in the Bible. I know that Israel's King David in whom My Mother named Me after, really pours His heart out praising the Lord.
Psalms is one My favorite book including as well the other 65 books in the Bible. Rob I look forward to your devotion on the Book of Psalms. Thank you Rob.
Great Rob, I have subscribed and can't wait for the first one. As you are aware, I have been on a journey to some kind of faith in recent times and learning the psalms was on my to do list. I greatly look forward to listening to your readings. Thanks mate.
Thanks to you as well Rob. The Psalms are awesome and probably the least "controversial" book in The Holy Bible. I plan to explore one per week until I've gone through all 150. I won't do a lot of commentary (most of the time) but plan to offer a bit of insight into some of the words in the psalms and maybe go into some of the misunderstandings as well. We'll see. Thanks for subscribing. I'll do the best I can.
This is off topic, but I wanted you to know that I took your advice and saved my pepper seeds. I just planted them a few days ago, so we'll see if this crop turns out a bit more insect resistant. :-)
Awesome. It's still way too early for me to plant anything outside (mid May is the earliest I dare put anything out), but I started some onion seeds indoors a couple weeks ago... nothing yet... probably a bit chilly in the room I have them in. I will start my other plants indoors around mid-march as if i start them too early the plants get too big and it's harder on them when I transplant them. I'm anxious to hear about your peppers. What kind of insects are eating them? We must get good at saving seeds for sure. It's imperative. My great grandparents would have thought buying seeds was insane as they always saved seeds, even for planting fields of corn, etc. The only time people used to buy seeds was if they were going to grow something unusual that didn't grow in their area. It's kind of a pain in the bum, but will be worth it. I couldn't believe when I saw the prices for some of these seeds recently. 7 and 8 dollars for 25 seeds (especially "organic" and "heirloom"). You may want to also check out heirloom varieties of certain vegetables that have been cultivated in your area. Heirloom open pollinated plants are the best for saving seeds. It can be a lot of fun. I grew Romaine and Deer Tongue lettuce next to each other last year and I ended up with a really unique type of lettuce (I know because I grow indoors in the winter). The new variety is fascinating. It has the short stature of deer tongue (which is like a butter letttuce) but the leaves are just like romaine but the plants stay short. It's amazing what nature does. Anyway, I'll still be here on The Rumble Strip for sure, but just not every week like I used to be.
I don't know what was munching on them. I never actually saw anything, but they were filled with all these tiny holes. The kale had the same problem. I'm going to be more aggressive with the neem oil this year and see if that helps.
I definitely saw the seed prices go up this year, so I'm going to be more diligent about saving things this season. You're right -- our great grandparents would think we were crazy for buying seeds.
It sounds like you may be battling flea beetles. Not sure though. I battle those little monsters every year. One thing that works good for chomping and crawling insects is diatomaceous earth. Check it out. The only bad thing is you have to reapply after it rains.
I don't subscribe to many other things outside of Substack, but there's a lady that is an excellent gardener who does a newsletter about once a month or so. I have learned a lot from her. She seems down to earth and humble in her approach. You might like it. I thought of you as her latest email was about peppers though I don't see this article on her home page. https://tendingmygarden.com/

I support you in whatever you decide to do or not do, but if you do discontinue this Strip, I hope you'll keep in touch somehow!
I think reading the Psalms will be good for you, and anyone else who is in that sort of mindset... they are well-loved for a reason. ^_^ xo xo
Good luck with your new project, Rob!

Flea beetles. Yeesh. I've never heard of diatomaceous earth, but I'll check it out. Thanks!

Sweet! I will save this and come back to it.
