You know I was all set to go to this prayer gathering in Nashville the other day. I am so glad my friend does some research and sent me a link. When I read it, I said No this is too controversial, and we didn't want to be in Nashville which the crime rate is ever increasing with the talk that protestors may show up. See, I just assumed we were going to pray for kids in general because things are happening in TN and children have gone missing and one drowned in the Cumberland River. My intent was yes, we need to go to a prayer gathering to pray for the children. Once again in my opinion the church missed the mark with making this a prayer gathering for the transgender group of kids. So, why do you take precedent over this group of kids and not choose to pray for all kids and then that group would be blanket covered in prayer along with all children. Don't you think that all children need to be covered in prayer. Who in the heck is making these decisions in the church for events like this that are exclusive to 1 group and not inclusive of all categories of children. Baffles me.
Well, if you look at what is going on in Nashville just maybe have a prayer gathering to cover all children and don't just single out 1 particular group if that makes sense. What is happening to the church. Didn't Jesus say to not push away the little children when they tried to push the children away from Jesus. He allowed and wanted them to come to Him. There is an attack on children like I have never seen before, and we need to pray for them and not just gather to pray for a singular group within the children category.
Yes, we made the right choice to go hear Pastor Jackson preach and worship with the Crowder Band. Glorious, Glorious, Glorious. The weather was beautiful, and fellowship was grand. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for guiding our very steps that day. I was able to get some gardening done that day and I am planting all types of flowers and I even transplanted to outside a few herbs I was growing indoors. Weeks ago, I purchased an AeroGarden and it is amazing how these little seed pods actually grow in this watering/light system. I transplanted thyme, dill, and chives. I then am waiting for the parsley to grow a bit more before I transplant it outside and then placed to start growing a basil pod, mint and a 2nd heirloom cherry tomato pod. The 1st heirloom cherry tomato plant was growing so big I had to trim off the non-fruit producing leaves to get the fruit producing leaves to get nourished and bring forth the fruit. So much fun gardening.
I gave a few of the heirloom cherry tomato seed pods for my friend to plant in her AeroGarden to start growing. I also gave her some ice plants, a roselily bulb along with those yummy bagels I purchased and have in my freezer from Bronx, NY. Oh my gosh those are the best bagels I ever had, and I wanted to share them with her family. I am building my outdoor retreat and surrounding me with roselily, berry white hydrangea, ice plants that are colorful, peony plants, lavender to name a few plants.
I highly recommend if your local Aldi's still has in stock the greenhouse for only 19.99. I purchased 1 and put it together, it is nice, and it actually zips up for full covering then you can unzip it and roll up the flap to work inside the greenhouse. Then my neighbor that I told weeks ago about a raised garden bed with 4 legs (to make it an elevated raised garden bed) said she just found another one @ Ollie's and she showed me hers it was the same 1 I purchased weeks ago but in brown this time. Mine was in gray. I love this and went right to Ollie's that day Saturday and believe it or not I purchased the last 1 they had. Can you tell how much I love gardening and making things beautified outside?
Update from when I first sat down to write this blog. The parsley was ready to transplant outside along with a rosemary plant also. I have roselily bulbs to plant along with a re-blooming pink lilac and I did get a lavender plant. Can you tell how much I love gardening. Not just vegetables, herb garden but flowers. So happy my Hosta is coming back to life again and my marshmallow hibiscus too. The gardenias did not make it through the winter even though I brought them into the garage. I learned the other day to try to bring it inside the home during the winter and before bringing it inside make a solution of dawn dish detergent and water and spray the plant 2 weeks before coming inside to get rid of any insects, etc. that may be in the soil. Gardening is a never-ending hobby in which you can always learn something new. Here are a few short video clips of Crowder from last Saturday evening, enjoy ...
