The sound of chopping firewood outdoors using a hammer and a firewood chopping frame, in preparation for outdoor open fire cooking next to a lake on a hot July day in Kintbury, England.  Recorded by Cities and Memory. 

Willie Jennings says that Joy is an act of resistance against despair and its forces. Again, it's not living in denial, it's not pretending things are better than they are. The joy we speak of in the church is the knowledge that, like the crowds who gather to hear J the B, we really are a brood of vipers. Seriously, according to the witness of the Word we're all on the naughty list. But the axe is lying at the root of the tree because God is cutting down our sin and using it for the divine bonfire the banishes the darkness forever.

I set off on a foraging expedition, prompted by a tip from Norma about some wood I could collect before others claimed it. Unable to run due to an injury, I relied on my e-bike, navigating through scenic areas like Queenswood Drive while scouting for manageable pieces of wood. The first location proved unfruitful as the wood was too large, but I eventually found smaller, damp pieces suitable for firewood, which I could carry in my panniers. Along the way, I encountered a peloton of cyclists, neighbors, and the quiet beauty of rural streets, capturing photographs to document the journey. Despite my injury, I managed to collect enough wood to supplement my firewood supply and turned the outing into a reflective and productive experience.

The gentle crackle of firewood and the soothing sounds of the desert night create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and restful sleep. Let the comforting ambiance wrap you in tranquility, helping you unwind and drift off into a deep, rejuvenating rest. 

During National Car Donation Month, some drivers may trade out gas-powered cars and trucks for electric ones. But EVs aren't the only alternative: for decades, people have built and driven cars powered by firewood.

The dynamic duo discuss current trends in the firewood industry and wax nostalgic of... today???  Huh???  Could TODAY be the golden age of our industry?  It just may be the case with the exciting machines being produced and the traction firewood is gaining on social media.

In this conversation, Jaden Bjorklund (Northland Habitat), Josh Streichert (JWS Logging) and Jon Teater discussion revolves around making hunting properties more appealing for logging. The main themes discussed include access to the property, volume and value of timber, and the role of landowners in facilitating the logging process. The guests emphasize the importance of factors such as property size, access, and timber contracts in attracting loggers. They also discuss potential pitfalls, such as dealing with pipelines and wetlands, that can complicate logging operations. The conversation highlights the need for clear communication and setting realistic expectations between landowners and loggers.  The guests also touch on the benefits of having a professional forester or consultant involved in the process and the importance of flexibility on the part of landowners. In this conversation, Jon Teater, Josh Streichert, and Jaden Bjorklund discuss various strategies for making timber cutting more valuable and beneficial for landowners. They explore the use of government funding programs, such as EQIP funding from the USDA or NRCS, to supplement the income from logging. They also emphasize the importance of considering the long-term goals of the property and the potential impact of invasive species on timber regeneration. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the value of firewood and the potential benefits of cutting mature trees to promote forest health and increase wildlife forage. Takeaways: Access and property size are important factors in attracting loggers to a hunting property. Dealing with pipelines, wetlands, and other obstacles can complicate logging operations. Clear communication and setting realistic expectations are crucial for a successful logging process. Having a professional forester involved can ensure efficient and effective timber management. Landowners should be flexible and willing to make compromises to facilitate the logging process. Government funding programs, such as EQUIP funding from the USDA or NRCS, can provide additional income for landowners who are cutting timber. It is important to consider the long-term goals of the property when making decisions about timber cutting. Invasive species, such as buckthorn, can hinder timber regeneration and should be addressed before logging. Firewood can be a valuable resource and a way to remove non-preferred tree species from the property. Cutting mature trees can promote forest health and increase wildlife forage.

Wow!!  What a weekend!  The international firewood industry and community descended on Cortland, Ohio for the International Firewood Expo 2024 and EVERYONE was in good spirits.  What is even more impressive is the weather cooperated which is no small feat in northeast Ohio in the spring.  Dan and Joe reminisce on their experience and share their favorite moments.  Alas, the question is asked...will there be another Expo in 2025?

ALL roads lead to Ohio for the May 18th International Firewood Expo.  Dan and Joe discuss the work going into the big event and list all the things causing them stress in the set up.  Firewood, food trucks, and T-shirts galore.  Where else would you rather be?  

Mike and Randy discuss the best kind of firewood to burn and how to properly store your wood supply to keep it seasoned and ready to use.

Here at FaithFi, we always want to help you manage your time, talent and treasure. And make no mistake—do-it-yourself preventive maintenance is a wise use of all three of those gifts you received from God. The more time and talent you have, the less of your treasure you'll have to use to get things done. But if you don't have the physical ability or know-how to do any of the chores on our list, it's also wise to hire someone to do them.Now, of course, we always use the Bible as our ultimate guide, and Proverbs 14:23 tells us, “In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.” That means we'd better get started with our list!So first up, Inspect your outdoor air conditioning unit to make sure it's ready for summer. Look for debris inside and around the unit. Leaves and other material can collect over the winter and could cause damage when the system kicks on.Of course, it's also wise to have a qualified heating and cooling contractor clean the coils and service the outside unit—and that's not a D-I-Y project. An annual maintenance checkup to clean coils, change filters and possibly add coolant can add years of service to the unit. Definitely worth having done.Next up, take a look at the roof.  You may be able to do this from the ground and we'd recommend that, if possible. Did you lose any shingles over the winter? If you spot damage, you can call in a professional roofer to make repairs.You may also want to start saving a little each month toward a new roof. They do wear out, and these days can cost anything from $7,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the size of your house. Set up a separate savings account that can earn interest until your roof needs replacement.Our next spring maintenance chore can't be done from the ground—inspect for loose, leaky, or clogged gutters around the house. You'll need to get on a ladder for this one, so if you're not comfortable and careful doing that, again, it's better to hire someone. It's important to have this done, though, because drainage problems can lead to water entering your basement or crawlspace, causing further damage. If the gutters are only clogged, you can try removing the debris from the ground with one of those hose attachments shaped like a candy cane. Various models sell online for $15 to $115. Anytime you can avoid getting on a ladder, it's best to do it.Next, check around the yard and next to the foundation for low areas. They can fill with spring rains and also threaten to flood the house. You can fill them with soil and spread grass seed there to eliminate the problem.You should also test your outside faucets for freeze damage. How do you do that, you ask? It's pretty simple, actually. Just put your thumb firmly over the faucet opening and then turn on the water. If you can stop water from coming out of the faucet, the pipe inside your home is probably ruptured from freezing. Turn the water off immediately and replace the entire faucet unit. Unless you're very handy, you'll probably have to call a plumber for that one.By the way, if you're wondering why the pipe inside your house wasn't leaking all winter, it's because the actual shut off valve for the faucet is in the pipe a foot or more inside the house. That prevents flooding if the pipe closest to the outside wall is ruptured.Okay, here's a spring maintenance project you may not have thought of. If you stacked firewood for heating over the winter on your deck or otherwise near your home, it's time to move it. You don't want it close to the house over the summer when termites and carpenter ants get busy. Move the wood farther away, or stack it away from the house to begin with, so you don't have to move it in the spring.Here's another one, especially if you live in the north where moisture is constantly freezing and thawing. That can cause cracks in your concrete patio, sidewalk and driveway, so inspect those areas and fill any cracks with cement filler or silicone caulk. Otherwise, they'll just keep growing and widening every winter.And one last spring maintenance project— prepare your lawn mower to sally forth and slay grass for another season. Do a walk around inspection and tighten or repair outside components on the mower, such as handles, grass chutes and wheels. Then change the spark plug and oil, and inspect air, oil and fuel filters. Replace as needed.Next, sharpen or replace the blades as needed…and finally fill the tank with fresh ethanol-free fuel. Ethanol is terrible for small engines and will dramatically short the life of the carburetor, so avoid that.Okay, those are your spring maintenance tips. We hope they help you to have an enjoyable summer season. Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Dan and Joe really go off the reservation in today's discussion about the many ways people create their own problems by not controlling their emotions.  In most instances the things in life we all want are attainable if only we could remain focused on our goals and identify exactly what we want.

Today on The Literary Life Podcast, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks are joined by Atlee Northmore to explore the various screen adaptations based on Howards End by E. M. Forster. They begin the discussion with the question of what is the good of translating one art form, in this case a book, into another art form, such as a screen play. They talk about the beauty of the Merchant Ivory film adaptation, while critiquing the casting and chemistry of the cast, sharing their favorite and least favorite scenes. In contrast, they praise the BBC-Starz series for its excellent adaptation, although it missed some important things that the 1992 film did include. Atlee also highlights some of the ways in which the screen adaptations serve as subtle visual cues for ideas from the story. In the end, Angelina, Thomas, and Atlee share thoughts on enjoying a film as a stand-alone work of art versus judging it as an adaptation of a novel.

During the live or later series of webinars, we will seek to dis-spell the Myth of Modernity and gain eyes to see and ears to hear Reality as it truly is. Speakers include Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, and Kelly Cumbee, in addition to Angelina and Thomas. Commonplace Quotes: Every poet, in his kind, is bit by him that comes behind. Jonathan Swift, from “Critics” Narrative prose, especially the novel, has taken, in modern societies, the place occupied by the recitation of myths and fairy tales in traditional and popular societies. Furthermore, the ‘mythic' structure of certain modern novels can be discerned, demonstrating the literary survival of major mythological themes and characters. Mircea Eliade Now, doesn't it seem absurd to you? What is the good of the ear if it tells you the same as the eye? Helen's one aim is to translate tunes into the language of painting and pictures into the language of music. It's very ingenious, and she says several pretty things in the process, but what's gained, I'd like to know? E. M. Forster, from Howards End Cargoes By John Masefield Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through the tropics by the palm-green shores, With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amythysts, Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Our story tonight is called Fallen Trees and Firewood, and it's a story about a day spent in a meadow beside a cabin in the woods. It's also about a task made easier by a neighbor, dogs running together through dry leaves, the glory of the mountains and the generosity of trees. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to the Nature Conservancy, whose purpose is to tackle the dual threats of accelerated climate change and unprecedented biodiversity loss. https://www.nature.org/en-us/ If you've been awake long enough to actually hear any stories lately, and wanted to hear just a bit more about the wedding at the Inn, and Marmalade and Crumb, you can subscribe to our premium plus feed.
