We Are Alive! May 20th, 2024 Hail and Snails

in We Are Alive Tribe13 days ago

This evening I did another four hour shift of door knocking. About an hour in, it began to sprinkle a bit, but then thunder and lightening and a downpour. I found shelter and watch marble sized hail fall to the ground among all the rain.

It's funny on such a warm day, finding ice falling from the sky. I was actually getting pretty warm, sweating in the sunshine. The ice was very refreshing, cooled everything down very quickly.

Even under shelter, the water splashing on the ground got me pretty wet. I ran to the car once the rain let up, but my shoes and socks got pretty drenched as it was near impossible to avoid the puddles. I got to the car, turned on the heat for a while until I dried out, then turned on the AC to cool down. Worked pretty well!

Friends for the Journey

I still had a few hours of work to do, the sun came out and warmed everything right back up. I found a couple of snails and I brought them along for the journey.

They had fun slithering around the dashboard of the car, exploring their new space.

They have pretty shells, black and yellow stripped. So cool!

They are nice creatures, but they better stay away from our garden!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

@ironshield! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ phillarecette. (10/10)

I don't think I'd much enjoy the snails or the hail! Hail always used to scare me - you never know if it will be pea size or grow and become baseball size. Glad it was small and over quickly!
