I have been out trimming my family’s coast live oaks, reducing fire danger and drying wood for projects. Unfortunately, one of our biggest trees seems to be not doing well. It looks like either the heartwood of this huge branch...

laser_vision I have. After further investigation using an ax, I have concluded that my oak tree branch has likely rotted out from the inside and a woodpecker probably let the water in. As I suspected, some of the wood is rotted, but the pattern of the rot seemed to start...

There are some sites where you play games and you earn $14 per year. I wonder if it's worth it. Some people spent three years with such sites. They were disappointed. I know that every cent is important, but it's too much time...

laser_vision @dya80dya Perhaps you would need to evaluate how well such an offer adds up in your current economic situation. For me, it's definitely not worth it. $14 is enough to buy me orange juice and lettuce where I live, definitely not enough to pay the bills.

Day 352 (Jeremiah 20:14-18) Cursed be the day in which I was born! Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me! Let the man be cursed who brought news to my father, saying, “A male child has been born to you!” making him...

laser_vision @just4him It is largely over now and I am being surrounded by people who love me. I hope to serve them well and not let them down, but I find myself frequently inadequate for the problems they bring to me. I keep them in prayer as I work and do the best I...

Good day friends I just got out of the woods. We went to the woods to cut wood, because we no longer have firewood. We were missing in the house, because my father did not want to cut wood when it was nice day. I managed to...

laser_vision @Nevena83 This is terrible. I pray that you are able to use the wood that you have cut. It is easy to get used to trials that you have always known - my father used to hate and beat me and I assumed that was how it was. May the Lord give you strength to...

laser_vision @Nevena83 I am sorry to hear this. Hopefully you will arrive at a warmer and safer living situation, in time, that is less physically demanding.

The Zen master, Enri Zerploski, was talking to his students about God. He told them that in Zen, we do not believe in God, because then, God becomes only a belief to us. He then went on: "What we do in Zen, is to...

laser_vision @innertalks Interesting thoughts, but I still believe that beings that are intimately interconnected are just that - interconnected - and not absorbed into each other. There is a difference between sustaining and merging. I do not become one with someone else...

laser_vision @innertalks I believe we are not a part of God - we are images of God. And God is not a part of us - we are fallen creatures who have rebelled against him. Christ provides reconciliation, but human beings are their own essences, separated from God. I am...

“I have a jackhammer, could get that done real easy.” The voice, coming from behind the fence, could have produced a startle reflex, but not really. Instead, I slowly stood up from what I had been sawing, a large, perhaps...

laser_vision My dad has left his chainsaw here. Perhaps I can get him to use it when he comes visiting today, and thus get the wood sawn without the direct risk of sawing my own leg off. Otherwise, I shall need to find its manual so I understand its operations. It is a...

How do I choose appropriate clothes to wear on special occasions? If I am comfortable, it's okay with me, is that a good option? Income, occasion, age, and fashion can affect clothing choices but If I am comfortable, it's...

laser_vision @lovebuglena 240 characters last I checked. And no, you don’t get paid there for being active, but you can do affiliate marketing and promote your products, brand, or website on there, which can make some money.

laser_vision @TheHorse Thank you, Mr. Horse. I appreciate the kind words. I think there is a difference between humility and feelings of inferiority, however. Humility is a lack of entitlement, inferiority is a lack of status - one hasn't done enough actions to merit an...

Is it a bad motive if you want to please God because you are after blessings and favor? I want to experience God's love and favor so I think all the time how can I please Him. I believe the thoughts running in my mind can please...

laser_vision @averygirl72 If I may ask, what is your understanding of God? I come from the Christian ways of thinking about Him, but I do not wish to offend, rather to offer information. I do not think we can completely make God happy with our lives, since we have sinned...

You see in God's creation everything have opposites. If there is light there is darkness. If there is happiness, there is sorrow. If there is life there is death. If there is good there is evil. In life don't be surprised if we...

laser_vision @sissy15 I agree with this. As Ariel Bloomer says in the song Brittle "I'm a life, I'm not a diagnosis." But sometimes diagnoses can help explain some of our problems and uncover internal mysteries. :)
