GET THE DIRT

By: Kathy Schwartz, Murray County Master Gardener Do not paint pruning cuts on trees, except on oaks. The tree recovers better without these products. Disinfect tools between cuts on diseased trees with alcohol or a solution of one part bleach to nine parts water. Set out shallow, covered containers of beer to capture slugs. They crawl into the beer and drown, allowing you to remove and destroy them.

By John Stenen In the decade of the 70’s, two young hippies had been living the life of drugs, flower power, immorality etc. However, one Sunday morning a friend had practically dragged them to a church service that had a good gospel believing minister. The hippy girl came under great conviction of her sin, and saw her need for a Saviour. She realized for the first time that she was on the broad path that leads to eternal damnation. (Mt. 7:13-14). When the altar call was given for any who would like to come to Jesus and repent of their sin, she was the first to respond. As she was getting out of her seat, her boyfriend said, Where do you think you’re going? Sit down!.” She looked at him and said, “If you won’t go to heaven with me, I am not going to hell with you.”
