Professors Alex Haslam and Steve Reicher revisited the famous Milgram Experiments which have been used for decades to understand why people will do harm to others when told by an authority to do so. Their determination is that it's not just authority that matters, but someone's relationship to the authority and a belief that their actions are accomplishing a greater good.

We met Nathan outside Tractor Supply after a hard day’s work. Lily told him, “You stink!” 🤣And she was right. Nathan does pregnancy checks on cows by sticking his arm up their rectum. He was covered in manure and he told us he will just wash his clothes and start over again tomorrow.

The Citrus County Planning & Development Commission denied the permit for the cell tower proposed next to our farm. What an incredible day.
This is likely not the end. There could be a federal lawsuit. The attorney could resubmit for a shorter tower. For now though, we celebrate - or nap.
This morning I was puking my guts up from stress, praying that God would get me through this day. The benefit of a situation like this is that it allows us to confront every identity we believe limits or defines us and watch God do the work. An old family friend and pastor told me once that courage is not lack of fear - it is acting despite it.
