For all celebrating the resurrection of Jesus today, here is one of my favorite hymns. My grandmother told me once that when she was babysitting a 3-year-old Alison on Easter in Pennsylvania many years ago, she caught me sitting very close to the TV, intently watching a program that seemed intense for a child. She said, “Alison what are you watching?” Apparently I was watching an Easter history special. I turned to her with equal intensity and replied, “What’s the matter Granny? Haven’t you ever heard of the resurrection of Jesus Christ?!”
“I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.”
—“Abide With Me” by Henry Francis Lyte
We are a brand new rodeo family and had never heard of mutton bustin’ until a few months ago. Kids aged 6 or younger try to ride a sheep as a precursor to bull riding. Most kids fall off within a second or two. The kid at the end of this video is going pro, mark my words. He is 6 and his parents tell me he already wants to ride bulls.
The chicken coop took flight again. We have had some Arctic weather blast through Florida and it was windy for a few hours. I did not think it was windy enough to send the chicken coop airborne but, Lily came running inside saying the hens were loose, and sure enough, they had “flown the coop” when the coop flew. This happened last April during an afternoon storm. It really doesn’t make sense to ratchet the coop down everyday, it would take so much extra time moving it. Just one of those things you have to think about when you decide to do a mobile chicken coop.
A couple months ago I was doing a cold plunge, and because I was doing a video about it, I was not paying attention to my breathing when I got in. Within seconds, I felt pressure over my right eye like I was about to get a bad headache. It went away within a few hours, but I started looking into cold plunge and stress. I have read that the practice is somewhat controversial. My takeaway has been that cold water should be used as a practice for learning to overcome your sympathetic nervous system and engage your parasympathetic response. It can work against you if you go into the water stressed and disregard your breath. What do you all think? What have you heard about this? Anyway this is my new cold plunge set up, thanks to my parents for the Christmas present!
May she figured it out. Or maybe she's playing a controlled opo role. Either way, it's true.
