Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil,
getting dirty without feeling guilty,
and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States,
and there has always been.
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life,
nurtured by the false notion that democracy means
that 'my ignorance' is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

NEW ZEALAND is weird. I mean, it does not seem of this earth, not to me. It really is like something made up.

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.
It is an expression of humility.
It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer,
faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
~~James E. Faust

T (tempted, temptation)
James 1
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
1 Corinthians 10
13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it.

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.
