Your answer to #3 is exactly what I wish I had been capable of voicing/writing/formulating. Thank you for doing it for me. I'm a bit envious of all the sources of direct heat and fire at your house. We have gas logs, but are being discouraged from using them now until our power grids are more capable of handling it all. Besides, I heard a young woman say that her gas bill for using hers to heat her house this week, exceeded $3,000. That was the deterrent I needed.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-71891160722284454452021-02-18T12:30:35.689-05:002021-02-18T12:30:35.689-05:00I had fun joining in with Hodgepodge this week.

I think it's a frugal thing at its core.<br />Oh, I love your fire options!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-31383994821038091312021-02-17T12:33:21.118-05:002021-02-17T12:33:21.118-05:00Your answer to #3 resonates with me.

We had a wonderful firepit where we could burn real wood but we felt like we had to wash all of our clothes (plus ourselves) every time we sat outside. I asked for the new one for my birthday (last June) and it finally came in right before fall - perfect timing.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-88093290744374396662021-02-17T10:31:33.957-05:002021-02-17T10:31:33.957-05:00Love your fire sources!

How nice to have a screened in outdoor space so you can enjoy more of the seasons without being bugged. :) I hadn't heard that rendition of Amazing Grace and it brought good tears to my eyes.

Feeling like you've been camping and you definitely need to clean up. I pray you get back into your church building soon. So nice that you still do the zoom on Sunday morning. Your double sided fireplace sounds perfect. I hear you about getting heated up about current situations. The video is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

I didn't think about fired up in the sense of what's going on in our country right now - I've tended to bury my head in the sand a bit, hardly watch the news anymore, it's just too depressing and I skim right past the variety of political posts that pop up in my social media. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions but really, enough already!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488927758678871106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-75891390077525217122021-02-17T07:25:26.149-05:002021-02-17T07:25:26.149-05:00Joyce,

It is what it is but I don't have to let the deceit and ugliness control my world. If I allow that to happen then Satan wins and I am not going to let that happen. Beautiful, beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace". Jesus offers His saving grace to all people.
