Two years ago when the tornado hit us, it took down 11 trees on our property, took out 2 utility poles on our pvt road and left us without power for a week. We live in a Pine/Hemlock forest and trees come down and take out our power lines all too often and then there are the ice storms . We are the only ones in our neighborhood to have a standby generator and we had neighbors coming over for showers, drinking water (we are all on wells) etc. IMO, the peace of mind and feeling of independence is worth it. Sitting in a hot or cold house and losing everything in your freezer is no fun.

They ever hear of buried power lines?


That's easy to do if the development is in an former pasture or if the land has been cleared by a developer. In the forest where I live, to bury the lines one would have to cut thru so many roots and go around so many trees, it's dang near impossible. There's no way the power company will do that for us and we would never get the 7 homeowners who live off our road to agree to pay the cost to have it done. All the lines along the town/county roads are on utility poles too and those lines go down as much as the ones in our little grove neighborhood.

Google Boring machine.

P.S.
My “Thoughts” list has a shorter wait time; you would be number 13.
Let me know if that would suffice.


Hahaha. Too funny.

Im praying for Col T and his family. Its for sure his family needs it.

Zero and Hillary are on the "Thoughts" list, and it aint good thoughts either.

I agree.

We may have different gods but he could still have prayed for me.

The power is flickering on and off now.

but be careful if you intend to follow it yourself, could get painful a bit.

Have you watched the news today?

This is not something to be taken lightly.

I believe the category could change any minute.



So, you're a hurricane believer eh?

I still don't think you've Atoned, or even Repented, for all your disparaging remarks against me.

No prayers until you do.

I do hope your wonderful family gets through it OK though,

You put the scooter up under some shelter, right, so's they can have something to navigate around all the downed palm trees to get to the bodega for supplies.

90 north of Tampa is sunny, calm and 96*. The AC works and we might have a few showers and 10-20 mph breeze tomorrow. You’re welcome if so disposed. Not all Floriduh BJ’s are fun.

How so? I was saying a Hebrew prayer. "Goyische Floridians, Yeshua", which means that those in Florida who have accepted Christ as their savior will be protected from all harm.

Well that is one explanation of the acronym I've never heard before.

I'll keep it in mind though, for the ones that ask.

Here's a recent post from another thread that applies to ALL of us.

1. Jesus is The Only One Who kept the law perfectly.

2. The rest of us blew it a long time ago with too many THOUSANDS of sins.

3. When Jews approached Jesus about the subject of keeping the law for salvation from hell, He would bring up one that they did not obviously keep.
We should ask ourselves why?

4. Unless YOU have PERFECTLY kept the law from your youth up....all your life and until you die, there's only one destiny and it's not heaven.
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10

5. The purpose of the law is NOT salvation, lest we all be damned. It's a foolish exercise in utter futility.
Don't believe me, the gospels show Jesus ripping face of those wicked liberal as well as the legalistic Jewish preachers who were blind leading the the blind straight to hell. Those lying preachers were not loving Jesus, nor doing their people any good by misleading them. Their message was one of Self-righteousness.
However, The whores and wretched thieves often saw their NEED for the Savior.
Additionally, Many of the churches in Acts and the Epistles were rebuked, corrected and exhorted to NOT follow after the infiltrators who were deceiving believers about the gospel...way of eternal life.
So we should ask ourselves,
What is the PURPOSE OF THE LAW SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY FLUNKED THAT TEST???

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."
Galatians 3:24

The law is our teacher, who teaches that we are lost and in need of being right with God. The law does not point us to himself, but instead to transfer that faith to the Only Savior. Jesus must become our sole Object of your confidence.

NOTE: If you get saved, justified by faith in JESUS, you can never go to hell. What happens when you sin big at that point on?
God treats you as His children and will discipline you upon this earth and won't let you get away with it. If you harm someone, for example, He will make sure that you will be harmed. I can speak from experience.
I insulted my Dad once... didn't get right with Dad or God, and was disciplined within an inch of my life.
The Heavenly Father humbled me sternly.
If I had died, I would be in heaven though, because Jesus paid for that terrible sin too.

6. You guys need to get saved right now.
Just like I was misled by blind, well meaning guides/ ministers...so have you. Just about everyone has been.
I believed my good could out weigh the bad, but it doesn't work that way.. Christ did it ALL. My goodness is a pile of filth in comparison.

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
Galatians 2:16, 21

Did Jesus die in vain...for nothing??
Why do you believe that your righteousness can help Him out? You've been lied to, that's why.
To go to heaven when you die is ONLY going to happen by changing your mind about your good works that you are trusting in. All of them put together can NOT pay for even one lie. Jesus suffered beyond your imagination terrible pain in body and soul for your sins.
He was buried. He came back to life that third day, so that YOU can live with Him IF.....

IF you will now make Him alone the Object of your faith/trust. Don't put it off. God wants to save you now.
Just say this to Him from your heart.

"Dear God.
I don't deserve to go to heaven. I have sinned against You and deserve hell.
I realize that there's no amount of good works or law that I can ever do that would save me.
But Jesus suffered for everything that I ever have done wrong or ever will do. He died for me.
I believe that He rose the third day.
I ask for forgiveness and the free gift of eternal life.

Thank You for saving me God.
In Jesus name,
Amen.""

I am a very happy camper for you who just trusted Christ and prayed this now. Please let me know about this most important decision that you have ever made.
Tell me here, or PM me before the day ends.

God bless you very much!

Happy Camper


Too long, didn't read. From the first few lines I'm pretty sure it's stupid.


Flave,
If I thought there was a snowball's chance in any sort of God giving a damn what I thought, I'd surely pray for you.
At this point, I'm pretty sure he'd make it hit your place on purpose just to spite me.
