Goodbye!

 This will be my last post on Operation Liberty Homestead. It is with a tinge of sadness because it was my first launch into the blogging world. But I will continue to blog over at The Call of Freedom . You will always be welcome to come over and stay awhile. I love visitors! Thank-you all for the conversations and interaction that we had here! May God bless you all!

Scripture Sunday

Yes, even the man who was after God’s own heart fell into a grievous sin with Bathsheba. He was human, as we all are.

But most of all, when confronted with his terrible sin, he repented.

And after repentance, comes a great cleansing.

This is his Psalm after his repentance……

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 

3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalms 51: 1-7

God grant me the grace to repent, when You reveal sin in my life………

Solar Panel Snow Maintenance

We don’t get a lot of snow here in Oklahoma so we don’t have to worry about constantly keeping the snow off of our solar panel array. But every now and then, we get a small amount of snow so we still have to deal with it.

This past Sunday was one of those rare times. We got about three inches of snow but it quit snowing by Monday morning. So before I headed out for work Monday morning, the snow needed to come off or we wouldn’t get any charge out of the panels. I just use a push broom to clear them. What little snow is left that the broom doesn’t get, will melt very shortly after the sun hits them. Fortunately, my solar array isn’t far off of the ground so they aren’t hard to clear. As you can see in the photos, I had to take the pictures before there was to much light out because I needed to head off to the ranch.

I know some folks think solar electricity is maintenance free, but as I have found out in the past 3 years or so, that isn’t true. But the satisfaction of being free of  “the grid” is worth it all!

My New Blog

My new blog has been in the works for a while and I think I am finally to the point of making it public. I am still working out the bugs and still doing some designing on it but the basics are done!

I wanted to upgrade to my own domain so that I have the ability to go farther and do more with it. Feel free to come on over and check it out. You can follow me there with Google friend connect, or subscribe via email.  I will be posting a few more times here but will eventually completely switch over.
