Sermon John 20:1-18

April 23, 2011 under Easter, Faith, Jesus

While most of the other disciples were hiding in their homes, Mary Magdalene had chosen to go to the tomb. To go to the place where they had placed Jesus cold dead body just a few days before. She had gone there to weep for him.

She came there early that Sunday morning, while it was still dark. What had drawn her there so early. Did she think it would be safer if she came early? Was it because she wanted some time alone to be where they had put his body? What ever her reason was, she was shocked to find the rock covering the tomb, where the had put Jesus corpse, rolled away.

So this would be no simple grieving, because the body was gone … but some thing strange happens when she inspects the tomb a second time … John says that she encounters two angels … its not your normal angelical visitation … no bright lights or white clothes … Why is it that Mary does not immediately recognize them as angels? … perhaps it is because they ask what seems like a stupid question … “Woman, why are you weeping.” “Why are you weeping!? That seems like an odd thing to ask someone weeping at a grave side … but not on this day … since Jesus asks her the same question … “… why are you weeping. Whom is it you are looking for?”

What is the difference between “determinate” and “indeterminate” tomatoes? – Growing Tomatoes

April 5, 2011 under Farming, Food, Homesteading, Survival

Determinate varieties of tomatoes, also called “bush” tomatoes, are varieties that are bred to grow to a compact height (approx. 4 feet).

They stop growing when fruit sets on the terminal or top bud, ripen all their crop at or near the same time (usually over a 2 week period), and then die.

They may require a limited amount of caging and/or staking for support, should NOT be pruned or “suckered” as it severely reduces the crop, and will perform relatively well in a container (minimum size of 5-6 gallon). Examples are: Rutgers, Roma, Celebrity (called a semi-determinate by some), and Marglobe. Click here to read more.. »

About Us:

Here at MyPatriotSupply.com we have a few core beliefs and they drive our company.

* This company was started by people with a passion for self-sustainable living and emergency preparedness. We understand your concerns and your desires to practice preparedness because we share them! We understand that true patriotism is not the expectation that others will care for your needs but that true freedom comes from attaining a certain level of self-reliance.

* We never ‘mark-up’ shipping. We are internet shoppers, too, and we know how irritating it is to find a good price on something only to discover the web site is padding the shipping charges. We understand this and have not followed those practices of some other less reputable sites. We enter in the actual weight of each product we carry, and we are connected real-time to the USPS and FedEx servers to calculate actual shipping cost. Of course these automated systems can never account for how much might fit in a flat rate box, or if an item is so large that it has to ship separately. So occasionally we will incidentally make a buck or two on shipping, sometimes we lose the same amount. We do not charge our customers for our time to pick and pack the order or for shipping materials – to us that’s just the cost of doing business.

* Regardless of the number of orders we receive we make every effort to ship each order within 24 hours. We are successful at this 99% of the time. We even have systems in place to prevent back-orders from being placed, so you can feel confident that when you order something (unless otherwise indicated) it is currently in stock and ready to ship.

* We believe that great customer service starts with being able to reach customer service! We offer several methods for our customers to reach us: Toll-free number (answered 7 days a week), mail, e-mail, live chat – even Twitter! Customer service inquiries are usually answered in a matter of a couple hours. If something takes us out of the office for more than an hour at a time we have the ability to receive customer emails and phone calls on our smartphones. This is NOT one of those companies you won’t be able to reach should you have an issue or a question.

* Along with our commitment to customer service we believe in personalized service. You are an individual, with individual needs. We want to get to know you! What are your needs, what goals are you working towards? How is your grandmother and did she get the packet of chives you had us send her? You get the point! Even though we deal with hundreds of people on a weekly basis we do our best to give each customer the attention they deserve.

Hundreds Killed in Massive Japan Quake – World – CBN News – Christian News 24-7 – CBN.com.

Hawaii and California residents are being warned to heed calls for evacuation as initial tsunami waves spawned by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan begin to hit the West Coast.

Waves at least 11 feet high first rushed ashore on the island of Kauai.  By midmorning, the high tide reached the Oregon border and worked its way toward California.  Scientists said the initial set of waves usually aren’t the strongest, and urged residents to be cautious.

Cooking and Storing Corn

by National Gardening Association Editors

Biting into fresh corn on the cob slathered with butter is one of life’s true pleasures. Growing your own sweet corn allows you the simple luxury of savoring the unbeatable, indescribable flavor of eating it minutes after it’s picked.

Here’s a rundown on several ways you can prepare this summertime favorite. With each of these methods, the crucial factor is freshness. For most varieties have the water boiling before you pick your corn. With many of the heirloom varieties, a few minutes can make a big difference. For the supersweet varieties you can slow down a bit because their sweetness will last for a few days. For the best flavor, corn on the cob should be served immediately after it’s cooked.
