Garden, Ho!

No, we didn't start planting today. But I have spent the majority of the day doing pre-planting "stuff".

For starters, I went through and catalouged all the seeds we already have. Mama is working on the seed order and she asked me to take care of this end of the job as she had other things to do and was a nice, slow easy paced task for a daughter who must confess to not feeling tip-top upon this overcast day. 

As it turned out, there was absolutely no need for more peas...at all. Carrots, yes, but not peas. Things like peppers, melons, cucumbers, and winter squash were also pretty much relegated to the "we have enough of these left over from last year" category. 

We picked two or three kinds of okra to supplement the remaining okra seeds from last year (aye, we be Southrons here in this mid-west land); a couple more kinds of greens (Georgia Collards anyone? They grow fairly nicely here.) Mama picked out half a dozen or more types of lettuce. (We are practically out.)

I cannot remember if more beets ended up in the online cart, but I do know how I love beets...We needed more Blue Lake and Roma green beans. I think they were the only beans that got added...we have plenty of the red and green Chinese Noodle beans left. :D

Then we kind of had fun choosing tomatoes...ever heard of blue tomatoes? Well, we have at least one variety in the cart!

I cannot remember if we decided on another cabbage or so, but we have a goodly number of seeds left for at least one of the varieties we grew last year. 

Mama also got a few different things like Emmer wheat (it's about as ancient a variety as can be found and a whole lot less glutenous than the modern stuff [wonder if even I with my wheat allergy can eat it?]) I don't know if she got the buckwheat or not, but I know most of us, if not all of us, rather like the stuff. 

Then she also added some different kinds of sweet potatoes to the cart. (Do you notice a sort of classic Southern food theme going on here: okra, greens, sweet taters...the sweet potatoes grow great up here--but Northerner's don't seem to think they are to be eaten except around Thanksgiving and Christmas. :D Right, so that may be a bit of an exaggeration and generalization....)

I will end up with some 'normal' potatoes like Red (Russet's, I guess they're called), Yukons, and the like, but those we'll get locally. I really do like growing taters. I don't exactly know why, but I think they are kind of fun. :)

Mama also has a whole bunch of flowers in the cart. Daddy is going to grow flowers for the Farmer's Market. Cut flowers. I'm still wrapping my head around this one. :D None of us girls got overly excited about the prospect when Mama suggested it, but I guess Papa did!! I reckon we'll end up helping as the season progresses. (There's a secondary benefit here--bee food!! *cheesy grin* Technically, it's not actually the pollen or nectar that the bee's eat anyway...but the honey they make from it.) Speaking of bee's, I showed Daddy my hives last night, all set up in the basement, and he got a rather rambly overview of some of what I know about bees. His questions helped me dig stuff out of my memory, too. :)

After we were done running through seeds, Mama got to talking a bit about one of the trains of thought she has been following for the betterment of our soil...and she set me on the trail to learn a little more about it myself so I can help think on ways to actually implement it in a workable fashion. It is true, our soil here is plumb worn out amongst other things. Anyway, ever heard of mycorrhiza? If so, kudo's to you. As is, I went, "What-cha-ma-call-it??"

So, the short version is it's a fungus-thingy that grows on or actually into the roots of most plants (ecto- or endo-mycorrhizae, respectively). This stuff helps with nutrient and water intake...it opens up the clay-y soil and helps bunch up the sandy stuff. 

Now, what has that got to do with our soil issues? Well...when the plant dies (is rooted up, plowed under, etc.), it's accompanying mycorrhiza dies. Now, what do most farmers and gardeners do once to twice (or more) per year? Yup, plow or till; breaking up the soil, turning it inside out...and destroying this helpful fungus. SO...we are trying to figure out a way to NOT till the garden and plant cover crops (I doubt they make acre garden size drills. I have noticed more farmers in the part of the world drilling rather than doing a total plowing.) I am just wondering how one plants a cover crop (such as wheat or whatever) without tilling. I can figure out the after planting part--until I run into the next years cover crop issue. So...to put this a little simpler, I can actually, in a way, see how to work a BIG chunk of land much better than I can a small piece. I personally, do not think that going and taking a hoe to break up the surface area of the previous cover crop is the most efficient method. 

But...if we skip that problem for the moment and go back to the benefits...say you have the cover crop in. The mycorrhiza (which may or may not have to be put into the soil by inoculation) grows onto the roots. So, when you plant your other plants, say beans (you could make the row or plot strictly by hoe, or using one of these mini-tiller things [we do have one though I have never personally used it] since they don't till as deeply or as widely), though you may have destroyed the mycorrhiza right in that row, the surrounding soil/roots still contains it. It will be able, from there, to attatch to the new plants. 

That is all rather simplified, I am sure, but that's the general idea.

I confess that I have a rather stick in the mud approach to "new" things. I think, partly, for two reasons. First, and most stupidly, it's just new, and uncharted (for me) territory. I am not a fan of change in my lifestyle or habits. (And I do rather enjoy running the tiller.) 

Secondly, perhaps somewhat more logically, I am hesitant to try something new when the old is "tried and true"...but then I have to sit back and question how "true" it is. Big ag practices really only come to fruition within the past century. Before then, was the food really more nutritionally rich? (I'd hazard a "yes" to that on a couple of fronts--however, I am really too ignorant to articulate them.) So, I got to thinking about the planting. Back in the days of horse drawn plows--or even the early tractors and tag-along implements--the turning over of the soil was not quite so deep...the rows were further apart (partly, I believe to allow the farmer to come back in, either by hand or with the tag along implements, and weed)...and so the complete destruction of the mycorrhiza would have been a little less likely. Oh, and there wasn't such a plethora of herbicides and pesticides [!! One of the things I forgot to mention was that "they say" that the mycorrhiza, making the plant healthier, actually reduces the amount of insect problems!! I'm not exactly sure how...but I did read that.]...you know that stuff gets into the ground...and...and...well...I could morph this into a health/Lyme discussion, but I will spare you that agony at this moment in time.

But anyway, going back to my second point, "Old" is not necessarily better. Sometimes "New" (which can actually just be "old before the current revitalized") really is better.

Oh, well, I think I need to go feed the chickens. Hopefully, my scribbles here will help me remember what I learned this afternoon as much as (or more than) they informed y'all as to an interesting tidbit from the field of fungi.

Adoption, Repentance, and Sanctification, Part 2

4/5/2015

0 Comments

 
I left off roughly half-way through the discussion of adoption last week...so we pick up with the relation between adoption and other aspects of salvation.
[Regeneration and Adoption] Adoption gives us the liberties and privileges of a child of God. Regeneration gives us the nature of a child of God, for in regeneration God’s recreates us in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17), resurrects us from spiritual death, rewrites God’s law upon our hearts, restores God’s image in us, and gives us the gift of faith. (17)

[Faith and Adoption]: Justification by faith in Christ has its exact parallel in adoption by faith in Christ (John 1:12)....God, who was once our angry and
condemning Judge, is now our loving Father, who has accepted us and forgiven us, because of the life and work of Jesus Christ through faith in Him (Rom. 8:1–4)....It is only as we are savingly joined to Christ through faith, that we can be counted as the children of God....Therefore, we are adopted into God’s family through faith in Christ alone. (17)

[Justification and Adoption]: In justification, God freely forgives our sins and accepts us as righteous because of the righteousness of Christ credited to us, which is received by faith. So it can be said that, whereas our adoption recovers our lost sonship in God’s family, justification recovers our lost citizenship in God’s kingdom. (18)

[Sanctification and Adoption]: In sanctification, God’s Spirit works within the believer to conform him more and more into the image of Christ, enabling him to
sin less and obey God more. Adoption secures for us, who are heirs of God by being joint-heirs with Christ, the title-deed to heaven and eternal life in the consummated New Heavens and New Earth, where righteousness dwells. Sanctification fits us for that eternal residence, by renewing us “from glory to glory,” until we are perfected
in holiness and physically raised from the dead. (18)

[Adoption and Glorification]: Adoption is irreversible....The Word of God assures us in 1 John 3:1–3 that those of us who are children of God can be fully certain that when Jesus appears again, we will not only see Him as He is, but we shall be made like Him. (19)
The blessing bestowed in adoption:
First, those adopted by God are given a new name (Isa. 62:2), i.e., the sons and daughters of Almighty God (2 Cor. 6:18). Second, they receive the Spirit of adoption (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6) who “implants in them the disposition of children, and transforms them into the image of God’s dear Son.”22 ... Third, they are given free access to the throne of grace with boldness (1 John 5:14). Fourth, they are the objects of God’s fatherly care and compassion (Ps. 103:13). Fifth, they enjoy the Father’s protection (Ps. 34:7; Heb. 1:14). Sixth, they are provided for by God’s providence (Matt. 6:30–34; Ps. 34:9–22), and Word (Phil. 4:9). Seventh, God’s fatherly care includes correction and chastisement (Heb. 12:6; Ps. 89:30–32). Eighth, they are eternally secure as sons and daughters of God (Jer. 32:40). Ninth, they are heirs of all the promises of God (Heb. 6:12, 17). Tenth, they are heirs of heaven, salvation, the grace of life, the kingdom of God and all of God’s promises (1 Pet. 1:4; Heb. 1:14; 1 Pet. 3:7; James 2:5; Rom. 8:17). 22. Robert Shaw, The Reformed Faith (Inverness, Scotland: Christian Focus Publications, [1845] 1974), 139. (20)
What is the ultimate purpose of adoption?
“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Rom. 8:29)....We are adopted as God’s sons and daughters through faith in Christ, on the basis of Christ’s redemptive work, and that Christ “might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (20-21)

In this verse we see the proximate and ultimate goal of God’s eternal purpose. The proximate goal of God’s plan is that His adopted sons and daughters be conformed into the image of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who is their “elder brother” (Mark 3:35)....We bear Christ’s stamp upon us, His likeness in our very nature, and in the entirety of our personhood—character, personality, intellect, heart, spirit, being. 
Furthermore, we are conformed into His image so that we will be His "brethren.”...To be made a brother is to be re-made in His likeness, much the same way He was made in our likeness. To be made Christ’s brother is to be glorified, i.e., to be made like Him in His humanity, in our bodies and souls....As He was made
perfectly and fully human, so He will make us perfectly and fully human by the power of His grace, expunging the last remnant of sin from us and from this universe.  ....

The ultimate goal of God’s eternal purpose is that Jesus Christ be glorified and honored as “the Firstborn among many brethren.”...Therefore, if it is the plan of God that Jesus have many saved brothers (and sisters), many saved brothers He will have. This ultimate goal, then, is the basis for the strongest kind of assurance of
our own salvation in Christ.

(21-22)

The title “Firstborn” implies more than the supremacy of Christ. It is an Old Testament concept. The firstborn of the family was to be dedicated to God. He represented the family. All the firstborn of a nation represented the nation. Whatever happened to the firstborn, happened to the nation they represented. The firstborn of Egypt were killed, signifying that God was destroying Egypt. The firstborn of Israel were dedicated to the Lord, signifying that the whole nation of
Israel was being saved by God and dedicated to Him by covenant. Christ, as “the Firstborn,” represents His “many brothers.” There is a solidarity and communion between the Firstborn and the brothers, that is the basis of the brothers’ salvation. Whatever happened to the “Firstborn,” happens to the “brothers.” Whatever is true of the “Firstborn” is true of the “brothers.” The “Firstborn” was exalted and glorified
by the Father. So will the “brothers” be. (23)

Conclusions:
R.J. Rushdoony explains that adoption and heirship mean "the realization that this earth was created as man’s area of dominion under God and is to be restored to that dominion by joint-heirship in Christ. It means an eternal destiny which is beyond the imagination of man and yet is the calling of his whole being and the destiny of his every moment. Our lives are then tied to more than ourselves." (23)

Do you have the marks of a true son or daughter of God? The first mark is faith in Christ, as the incarnate Son of God and only Savior of sinners. The second mark is obedience to the Father’s revealed will in the Bible. The third mark is the love of being in the Father’s presence worshipping and serving Him....The fourth mark is the leading of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:14). And the fifth mark is love for all the sons and daughters of God. (24)
The Meaning of Repentance; WLC #76: What is repentance unto life? A.: Repentance unto life is a saving grace, wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit and word of
God, whereby, out of the sight and sense, not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, and upon the apprehension of God’s mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, he so grieves for and hates his sins, as that he turns from them all to God, purposing and endeavouring constantly to walk with Him in all the ways of new obedience.
The two leading Hebrew words for repentance in the Old Testament are nacham or niphal meaning to repent with a resulting change of plan and action, and shubh, the most common form, which means to turn, to turn about, to return. It clearly shows that what the Old Testament calls repentance is a return to God from whom sin has separated man.
The two leading Greek words for repentance in the New Testament are metanoia, which denotes a change of mind leading to a change of life and conduct, which change includes regret for the former course pursued, and epistrophe, which denotes a change of mind stressing the fact that “a new relation is established, that the active life is made to move in another direction.”27 ....
Metanoia involves “a new relation to God that embraces all spheres of life and claims the will in a way that no external rites can replace.”28
 27. Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans PublishingCo., 1941), 482.
28. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (TWOT),Abridged in One Volume, trans. Geoffrey W. Bromiley, eds. Gerhard Kittel and Gerhard Friedrich (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, [1985] 1988), 640.
(26-27)

This change of mind, heart and will involved in repentance is in reference to four things: God, ourselves, sin and righteousness. (27)

True repentance is future-oriented...."Ungodly repentance looks backward: it is sorry for its sinsbecause it regrets the consequences. Such repentance is marked by self-torture and misery and a pre-occupation with the past… repentance is “a preparation for the future, rather than a mourning over the past.” This is why repentance is so closely linked with the kingdom of God...St. Paul said to the believers, “being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness”
(Rom. 6:18; KJV). This is the emphasis: to serve righteousness, to become dedicated, working members of God’s Kingdom. By means of repentance, we participate in the work of the Kingdom.…" (28-29)
The significance of "Unto Life":
True repentance is called repentance unto life or leading to life for two reasons. First, because true repentance is inseparably connected with the enjoyment of eternal life in fellowship with God, it is called “repentance unto life.”...Second, because true repentance is to be distinguished from false repentance, it is called
“repentance unto life.” (29)
The interrelation of repentance and forgiveness of sins:
To put it in the words of Rev. E.H. Anderson: Repentance won’t save you; but it is a sure thing that you will not be saved without it. (31)
How repentance is a saving grace:
Repentance unto life is a saving grace in that it is a free gift of God, and is produced in the heart by the Spirit and Word of God. (34)

“Turn Thou me, and I shall be turned; surely after that I was turned, I repented.” (35)

This gracious gift of God to His own is wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit and Word of God. (35)

Repentance is first and foremost God’s work in the human heart....the Spirit works repentanceinto the heart when He regenerates the heart. Therefore, it is impossible
for a person to know godly sorrow and repentance unto life unless he or she has been born of the Spirit of God (John 3:3–8). (35)

The instrument the Holy Spirit uses to work repentance in our hearts is the Word of God, written and preached. That Word “calls sinners to repentance” (Matt. 9:13). Therefore, when this gift is worked in our hearts, we are not only turned by the power of the Holy Spirit of God, we are at the same time “instructed” (Jer. 31:19)
“by the Spirit’s setting home what is contained in the word, whereby we are led into the knowledge of those things which are necessary to repentance.”44 Ridgeley, Commentary on the Larger Catechism, 2:147. (37)

“All true repentance springs from right views of God.”46 On the outside false repentance and true repentance can look alike but inside they are very different. ...
False repentance is motivated only by the dread of God’s judgment and fear of hell; true repentance is also motivated by the dangers of sin, but it comes with faith in God’s mercy revealed in Christ.
In false repentance, the sinner is taken up mostly with the temporal and fatal consequences of sin, and the punishment to which his sin exposes him. In true repentance, the believer mourns for his sin as dishonoring to His Lord and Savior. ...
False repentance is full of regret, but unlike true repentance, it does not lead to a radical change of mind and behavior that pleases God. 46. Hodge, The Way of Life, 217. (38)
Sight and sense of the the filthiness and odiousness of sin:
True repentance springs from the sight and sense of sins. This is a clear, conscious and convicting awareness of sins in one’s life coupled with the painful contrition of heart, brokenness of spirit, humiliation and godly sorrow that comes with such an awareness in the believer. ...
No one can have a proper sight and sense of his sins until the Holy Spirit becomes his Teacher, convincing and convicting him of his sins. (39)

First, the Spirit’s convicting work in us extinguishes all inclination and thought of self-excuse or self-defense.

Second, in convicting us of our sins the Holy Spirit moves us to lay all the blame for our sins on ourselves. 

Third, the Spirit convinces and convicts us that our sin is not merely against one’s own soul or against one’s neighbor, but that above all else, it is against God.

Fourth, this conviction of sin brought by the Spirit into the believer’s heart is permanent.

Fifth, the conviction of sin has purifying effects on the entirety of the repentant believer’s life. It motivates him to purpose and endeavor to get rid of sin in his life and thought.

Sixth, the conviction of sin produces humility in the believer. (39-41)

The Holy Spirit not only convicts the regenerate person of the danger of sin, He convicts him of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, thereby moving him to hate them, to grieve over them, to hate himself for committing them, and to repent of them....In other words, what makes our sins appear so filthy and odious to us is ultimately because they are sins against God, our Creator, Provider, Redeemer, Lord and Friend, who is “majestic in holiness.”  (42)

(1) The painful consciousness of the moral guilt which exposes us to merited punishment, because they are contradictory to the righteous character of God, were it not for Christ and His satisfaction of the justice of God by His obedience and sufferings....
(2) The humiliating consciousness of moral pollution caused by our sin in direct opposition to the holiness of God....
(3) The fearful consciousness of helplessness before God in cleansing his sins from his life by himself without God’s gracious assistance. (43)
The apprehension of God's mercy in Christ to the penitent...
True repentance is motivated not only by a heart-conviction of the danger, filthiness and odiousness of sins, it manifests itself upon the apprehension of God’s mercy in Christ to such as are penitent. This means that faith is an essential component of repentance, just as repentance is of faith: “they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him” (Zech. 12:10). They are “twin graces.” Repentance is not true repentance without this apprehension of God’s mercy in Christ. (45-46)

Although God’s mercy is freely bestowed upon those in misery, it is bestowed only in a way that is consistent with all His perfections: “consistently with the honour of his justice and holiness.” 59. Edward Fisher, Fisher’s Catechism (Presbyterian Board of Publishing and Sabbath School Work, 1911), 159. (46)

God’s mercy will not go out toward the sinner if it means contradicting any of His perfections, His decrees, or His Word. His justice demands that violation of His Law must be punished with death. His holiness, offended by human sin, manifested toward sinners in His anger, must be propitiated, i.e., His anger turned away from sinners. His unbreakable Word teaches that “the wages of sin is death, the soul that sins must die.” Therefore, God’s saving mercy cannot be bestowed upon sinners except through the obedience, suffering and death of Jesus Christ, whose substitutionary life and death satisfied the claims of God’s justice and propitiated God’s anger by bearing the full punishment for sin. (47)

Apprehending the saving mercy of God in Christ is faith in Christ, it is receiving Jesus Christ as one’s Lord and Savior, resting upon Him alone for salvation. (47)
Rather short once again...but there you have it.

Okeee....so maybe it ain't THAT exciting...but here's the updated Cow Cavalry trailer. I didn't do anything different to it really except change "Sparks of Reformation Productions" to "Freedom's Light Films" (go check out my latest blog post over there, by the way, if you want more details on how things are coming; I am doing a scheduled once a week post) and "Coming 2014" (HA!) to "Coming 2015". I would have liked to be a little more specific about that, but I have already 'embarrassed' myself once too often on that front that I simply am not going to be explicit on dates and such for fear of having to say, "Ahem...sorry 'bout that, folks! As you can see, I clearly didn't succeed in reaching my deadline. For the upteenth time..."

But anyway. Enough with the words.

Which means, unsurprisingly (to myself at any rate), that I feel like scribbling. I really don't know why sleepy, overcast weather makes my creative juices flow in the writing line, but it frequently does. So, I will take it out on my blog before I go stare with growing relief at the nearness of completion at my editing computer screen. 

I guess that is as good a place to start as any...I did not do any editing work yesterday, despite the fact that I turned on my computer and loaded the project. I simply never got around to it. But, the day before (Wednesday, I reckon it was), I went through and worked on audio again. I'm pretty much satisfied with the visuals. The next step is inserting transitions...making lower thirds (and forgive me while I feel like castigating Photoshop...though it's really my ignorance that drives me to growl at the program)...AND seeing if I can re-remember how to take a mono audio track and transform it into stereo. Mr. Tim's audio is all mono. It's the ONLY audio that is mono. There are probably a few other little things that need doing, but those are the bigger ones that I can remember off the top of my head without scrounging out my scribbled notes.

The late afternoon of the past two days found me on my knees in the garage with a paint-brush in my hand. YES. I did...FINALLY. I got my bee hives painted!! I'll transfer them into the basement later today and put the car back in the garage.

Let's see...I whipped up a skirt yesterday...in fact, I'm wearing it today. :D It's that layered skirt I mentioned (I think) sometime previously that's top is the upper part of a pair of jeans. Next time I do this, I think I'll cut the jeans off a little higher...(I actually do have another pair of jeans to cut off and the fabric picked out.)

Savannah and I took down the plastic sheeting from the entry way and straightened up what used to be front porch, then the office space, and which has now evolved, more or less, into a fabric/sewing stash room. My guitar mess may end back up in there again too, but I'm not rushing that. We also moved a chair out of there back into the living room (since my hives aren't there any more, it would go. ;P)

We also prepped (sorta) Mama and Daddy's room for their return and the movement of furniture in. Both Savannah and I managed to hurt our feet a little bit with that metal shelf we moved into the den/kitchen alcove/Granddaddy's room. Poor Abby, I think, got the impression we were moving and was a little spookish. 

After I fed the chickens last evening, I took the nippers and did a little more yard work. I cleaned out the south west corner...which I think I shall now nickname The Garlic and Lilly of the Valley Corner. That was where I initially thought of putting my bees. If I expand to another hive next year, perhaps I will still put some there. I wonder what garlic flavored honey would taste like? I actually think it would be rather good...just not in my tea. :D

I'm a little stiff-ish today and I don't know exactly how much of it has to do with the little bit of work I did. Anyway, it felt good...but by the time I got done, I was beginning to really need to eat. I have been dealing with my stomach burning again; in part, I think to the even longer spaces between meals. I've doing doing a candida cleanse and I have to take that stuff on an empty stomach too...so it stretches my time between eating even more. I cannot really explain how it makes me feel, but it can be highly uncomfortable. At the earliest possible moment, I dive into the fridge and cut me a hefty slice of bread and munch on that. I have been keeping up with bread-making the last few weeks. I kind of make egg-washing day and bread-making day correspond once a week. This week I concocted four different breads. Two of the squash breads, a ginger bread (the base was butternut squash...and sweetened with Stevia), and a chocolate bread (also sweetened with Stevia since I can't eat honey on this cleanse). They are all good, if I can say so without bragging. :) 

Well, looks like it is time for me to start in on my killers...so I'd better get off here...

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
