White Potatoes

A few weeks ago I talked about growing sweet potatoes. They’re still sitting in the dirt, doing nothing. https://sallyjadlow.com/growing-sweet-potatoes/ I planted some white potatoes which had sprouted eyes at the same time. These little plants are going crazy. I had to put them in bigger containers. Potatoes aren’t supposed to be planted until St. Patrick’s Day in a couple of weeks. Hope these babies like the outdoor soil when I place them in my plot at Colonial Presbyterian’s God’s Garden. What…

At a regular chapel service at Asbury University in Wilmore, KY on February 8, 2023, the Spirit of God descended into the service. As of today, the service is still going on.  Students came this February for a regular chapel meeting, but afterward, people stayed on continuing to worship, praise, confess, and soak in the love of God present in the room. It has been reported that even though the wind blew strong in the area, there was a visible…

The fever continues! Tomorrow Kansas City will have a massive parade for the Super Bowl champions. The city has arranged for busses from throughout the city to bring people to the parade route. Stores are filled with Chief’s t-shirts at exorbitant prices. The fever I spoke of last week has spread. I found a life-sized cut-out of Patrick Mahomes in one of the offices I visit every week.  I think I’ll stay home from the parade and watch on TV….

Kansas City Has a Fever

Kansas City Has a Fever

Comments 0 Comment

It’s called Chief’s Fever. It makes all the buildings have red lights. People everywhere wear red red t-shirts to indicate their infection. Everyone is holding their breath for the Super Bowl next Sunday. People don’t seem to be especially ill, but it seems as though this fever has spread rapidly. People are even decorating cupcakes with red, white, and yellow. I’ve even eaten one that had Mahomes hair and headband on it.  Yes, it’s definitely infected Kansas City and the…

Growing Sweet Potatoes

Growing Sweet Potatoes

I happened on a website the other day telling you how to grow 50-100 pounds of sweet potatoes from one sweet potato. I decided to try it.  I bought a plastic tub from Walmart with a lid and some potting soil. The sweet potatoes are to be covered half way into the dirt and watered until they form leaves. I’m to cover the box with the lid and leave a small space open to create a humid environment. The instructor…

Looking Back 72 Years

Looking Back 72 Years

This is a photo of the property my folks moved to 72 years ago this spring. It sat at the crossroads of 69 and 54 highways north of Fort Scott, Kansas. My aunt and uncle and my parents bought this farm in 1951. They tore down the barn to use the lumber on their first 10 units of the motel. They blew up both of the silos. The barn had 32 foot hand-hewn beams inside. The farm had been used…

Have you heard of the series called, “The Chosen?” It is a depiction of many Bible stories.  Beginning December 2022, the third season began. If you download the Angel App you can view each episode on your phone, cast it to your TV, or watch on your computer. Here is the link for doing so. https://www.angel.com/blog/angel-studios/posts/when-and-where-to-stream-season-3-of-the-chosen?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuNSGttHK_AIVhYJbCh0m_gXZEAAYASABEgIxBvD_BwE When they were ready to film the feeding of the 5,000, they invited the people who invested in the project to become the crowd in…

Gas Well Found

Gas Well Found

In September, 2021 I showed how to find a gas well using two hangers. To see a demonstration of this method, go to this website and click the link in that post. https://sallyjadlow.com/how-to-find-natural-gas/ . This winter, our farm house is heated with the gas I found using two wire hangers. We no longer use expensive propane. In February 2022 the well drillers drilled where I told them the wires crossed. They drilled in that spot and found gas at 325…

A Biblical Principle

A Biblical Principle

As I finished reading through the Bible this past month, a scripture stood out to me. Revelation 1:3 says:Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. Many times we talk about reading the Bible, but rarely are we encouraged to read it aloud. That way God’s word gets in not only through our eyes, but also through our ears. God says we will be blessed if we…

Outpouring of Aprons!

Outpouring of Aprons!

Comments 4 comments

This Christmas I made aprons for all the ladies in the family (including the littlest one.) One of the ladies’ husbands (not pictured) remarked, “To give my wife an apron is like giving a blind man a telescope!” I take it she doesn’t cook much.  Each apron has a bar towel on the front so you can wipe your hands as you go. I ended up sewing twenty-two. It is kind-of habit forming, once you get started.  One of my granddaughters…
