The germinating rate for okra is over 90%. For green bean so far less than 50% pray for it will have more beans to survive.

Pastoral Leadership 
Took some notes while I was listening to the lecture.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JttvpAK-y1k&list=PLF1EF86F7951CD551&index=5
Lecture#5 Discipline one's life. Mater the time, conduct yourself, cleanness (dress, car, living place), organized your life, plan and prioritize your life.
Overdressed embarrassing others or underdressed to shame them.
Private and public worship. Utilize your gifts serving others. Be teachable. Don't tolerate bad relationship. Have a balanced life. 

Lecture#6 Money on serving, paid or not paid, be careful in handling it. Learn to be content. Thank God for everything. Freedom, nobody owns you. Passion for the ministry.

Lecture#7 The attitude toward people. Along with wife giving the hospitality, love and be proactive to people. Roman 12:13. Be gentle. Win an argument and lose a friend you are still loose. Ethical. Never be a two face person. Care of your own, family and the like. 

Lecture#8 The leader's gifts and ability. Titus1:9. Two different voices; the voice in preaching and teaching and the voice to drive away and defense the thief/wolf.
Understanding the scriptures. The law of the language, simple and understandable. The law of lesson. The law of teaching process, guiding the learning. The law of learning process, reproduce in your own words. The law of review the application, when teaching becomes their lives. Sermon outline, proposition and structure and main point and create the need for the audience.

Day 160 - 08232020 Sunday

The okra that I planted are starting germinating. It's a joy to see the seed germination. But feeling lazy to take care of it.

I am thinking to make my own yeast. Since the yeast is nowhere to be found also the majority of them have the adding of Sorbitan monostearate as an emulsifier. Or I could use beer to sub yeast to make bread. Therefore, I need to find out how and also the ingredients of the beer.

Need to transfer the pineapple and rosemary to a bigger pot soon.

Day 157 - 08202020

Another stay still and do nothing and still sweating hot day.

Planted 1 pack of each okra and green bean seeds that I bought the other day. That makes 30 okra seeds and 16 green bean seeds.

Tomorrow I am going to buy young coconut and continue to look for yeast and wheat flour. And radish too, I want to make radish cake.

Buttermilk Recipes

Buttermilk Squash Soup

1 teaspoon cumin powder
fine grain sea salt

1 medium yellow onions, chopped

1 pound potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

2 1/2 pounds yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch slices

4 cups meat stock
1 cup buttermilk

As usual, I didn't saute vegetables, instead, I cook them in the stock, and use this cooking time, blend squash, 9 okras and buttermilk then cook all of the ingredients altogether.
To save more time, prepare the onion and potatoes while boiling the stock.

And yes, I sneak in something that kids really sick of it, okras successfully, zip your lips, will you!
