My daddy was like that Danny. Woman's Work was Woman's and men's Work was men's work. Because of that reason I taught my boys how to cook and clean. I taught my daughter how to change a tire, mower yard and both how to grow a garden.
I really enjoy your porch times, and all your and Miss Wanda's videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom and knowledge of homesteading. I've started the first garden I've had in over 15 years, at age 66 and while living with metastatic breast cancer. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with God's help snd guidance!🌱
Danny, we have been told to not have fear and to trust in God. Wisdom and understanding takes knowledge. We are to live in faith. God gives us direction. Lean upon His understanding and not our own.
I found a few years ago that the Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday.. Thats when I started stepping out of the religion that I was taught and started doing my own research.. You're right, we all have our own way of doing thing's.. God bless🙏
SAME! My parents were pretty progressive in the 60's and 70's and did teach us to "cross train" so to speak. Changing tires, oil, running the lawnmower, building a shed was taught to all as well as cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc. and now in late 50's we are all thankful for that. One of those lessons to "think for yourself" is the example you just used.
Hello K! I live in Florida too. Recently I started to study the Sabbath and I have been so blessed just preparing for and spending the day to honor The Lord. GBY
Same here. As active as I was in the church growing up, I started to become confused about what they taught us as far as Sunday being the sabbath. Never taught us about fasting or how the Bible says not to eat pork (now I know about parasites & what they do to the body). I avoided open brain surgery with fasting, turmeric, & prayer in just 3 days. Matthew 17:21 on prayer and fasting is missing from the Bible I’ve used since confirmation. My faith in God has never been stronger but I question the church now more than ever.
That's right, the Sabbath starts Friday at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset, 24 hours. The word "Sabbath" has been kept until today in different variations in over 50 languages of the world. For example: polish language "Sobota" German: "Samstag" Russian: " Subbota" Spanish" Sabado" French: "Samedi" Labanese: "Sabet" Arabic: "Al- sabt" Hebrew: " Sabbath "
I have a similar situation that stands out in my mind as the Angle of the Lord interveining in our lives... I was going to be in downtown NYC on 9/11/01 leaving Long Island traveling to VA to see a concert that a friend of ours had gotten us tickets to see a band for our Anniversary. The itinterary and child care was lined up and hotel rooms purchased a month ahead of schedule. Out of nowhere... my husband got a job offer, via employee referral, for a contract to permanent possition for 3 times his salary in our home town. We honestly thought it was a joke at first. We hemmed and hawed over what we might do and were thinking maybe we wouldn't move because we had only been on the island for a few months and my husband had JUST finished his training for his new job... we felt like it wasn't right. The oil furnace blew up in our rental... no one was hurt... but we were instantly homeless. Then... even though we had just had a catastophic event happen in our lives.. my husband's new job that we felt such loyalty to gave him a write up for not showing up to work that day. We were a little busy with the fire department and at the hospital making certain our babies were unaffected by the furnace and the smoke... but that didn't seem to matter to the employer. And suddenly the employer didn't matter to us, either. We talked to the recruiter, took the job, had a moving company show up that afternoon and pack up all the household goods and we moved that night. I was unpacking boxes at our new rental in our home state when my friend called and said..."get the kids away from the tv and turn on the news." As soon as I turned on the TV I watched the second plane hit the WTC tower. We were moved. We were absolutely devinely influenced to not be in NYC when that happened. I don't think I would have mentally recovered had I been there. I would have been the 2nd time in my life that I witnessed the result of planes taking out masses of civilians... the first time was in Ramstein Germany in 1987. The PTSD from that NATO event was still with me at that time in 2001. God interveined. I trust he will interviene again if that is His will. "I am a servant of the Lord and I will do as He commands" ~God's most favored.
oh wow! Thank you for sharing your experience! The world can be a brutal, scary place...how beautiful it is to know you have a loving God who loves to iron out details...details...details... and He loves to bless. Our God is a miracle working God & I praise Him for giving you eyes to see Him at work. :)
Jeas4980, I have one that stands out in my mind too with my youngest son, many moons ago when he was walking down the road one day coming back from where he never should have been. He had fallen into the wrong crowd, and was totally blitzed at the time that this happened. He recounted the experience to me when he came home. At the time, I was just grateful it wasn't the cops again bringing him home (they actually used to do that back in the day). He said, "I was just happily walking along, and I heard someone say, "Cross the road". No-one was there so I ignored the voice. Then again, much louder, "Cross-The-Road". No more did I get to the other side when a drunk driver came off the road and sped straight through where I would have been. I stood there in shock realizing that, stoned or not, the Holy Spirit had just spoke to me and spared my life ". God is indeed very faithful, loving, and kind, and you are right... He absolutely does intervene in our lives.
@@kristycook6041 It means it was not his time to die, and Angels only intercede when it's Not time. I had the same experience when I took a ride w Ted Bundy when I was 19yrs. I heard in my left ear, "Get OUT of the car, now!" I near didn't believe it, then Again, Louder along with a physical Push on my left shoulder..."GET OUT OF THE CAR, NOW !!!" I grabbed my Harper Study Bible off his dash (yeah, can you believe the Bible in Ted's face) and the door handle at the same time and jumped out. He begged me to get back in. I stood on the curb and said to God, "Please, one day tell me what that was all about." Several years later, Ted's face was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News saying he was being executed, and I gasped. Your son is here for a Reason, and so Am I.💗 AMEN !
Danny, I really appreciated this video so much. Thank you. My very Italian husband "had his work, and I had mine" for our 50 years of marriage. Now, retired, going on 53 years, he has learned to take clothes out of the dryer and fold them!! lol. He can cook his eggs for breakfast, but nothing fancy, and hot dogs. He tried to cook bacon, as I do in the oven: well I had to remedy it. He doesn't try to make hamburgers anymore, because they look like big meatballs, ( and I won't eat them). He just can't cook, though I try to guide him. In that,well, he just doesn't want to be taught. Not part of his job. But he's obviously a good man, 53 years is a lifetime. So, his comfort zone, in some ways, are impenetrable. That's fine) But this video certainly made me smile. Especially when waiting for your wife, Wanda, in the car and sounding the horn. That is Him. I got to the point that in getting 5 children up & running to go to Church, I just couldn't take the pressure any more- but my children were there, so God saw that. And my husband is a diabetic, so dinner had to be ready on time. Your video really hit home for me)) Very detailed and enjoyable) Thank you, again..will make sure my husband sees this on**
Thank you Danny and Wanda. I need some prayer. My son-in-law has a huge backyard. I asked my daughter if we could grow some vegetables. She said no that it was too much work. (Even if I took care of it. Every day.) Now there’s a comfort zone. 🤨🙏
We love you too Danny ;) I needed to hear this...I have to laugh because I tried to multitask and just let it play in the background; but the Holy Spirit took hold of me and said "pay attention". ;) So I stopped, hit rewind...and listened. I enjoy your stories which might seem like rambling to some...but you always use the illustration to teach just like our Lord did. This is my first gardening season back after being so very ill from heart failure, lung collapse, medication reactions, two hospitalizations, slow recovery and now 10 pills a day that I'm trying to wean off of though the doc says...it's forever. >.< I'm on my feet, but I'm feeling the lack of confidence to return to a strong, homesteading lifestyle. It's only me working it for the most part & I wish I had more help. But I've stepped out of my comfort zone (physical & mental) and just went for it this year as I am the leader in this regard. I have to fight 3 years of overgrown acres (poison hemlock, thistle & poison ivy & other noxious weeds trying to take over with every other weed...) I have to: I pick my battles one day at a time & hope that my body keeps up with planting time. I bought some seed that might be ambitious for me to try like Armenian melons which I know nothing about growing...but I'm gonna listen to the Spirit urging me through your chat today. Step out of my comfort zone...just try. Now is the time to actually grow food & stop talking about it for many of us. With my health and age at 64, I can choose to just throw up my hands and say "I can't", but I feel the Lord is telling me I can...and He saved me from death & brought me healing & blessing - I trust Him. I know in my gut, that I need to do this or we won't survive what is coming. So I move a step closer to my goal one day at a time right? I can plan, till, sow, weed, water, protect, - the Lord brings the harvest. It will be worth the struggle and the effort to break out of my comfort zone and just try. If I fail, I know there is a lesson in there for me from the Lord and it will be worth the effort. I needed this chat today brother...thank you :)
Largely due to your encouragement, we have stepped outside our former comfort zone and are growing more food than we would have ever considered. You & Miss Wanda are appreciated very much and I know you are used of the Lord. ❤
I remember on Thanksgiving I was working, and I was trying to close the shop early to meet up with my family in New Orleans. Everytime I tried to close a customer would pull in the driveway to buy stuff before I could leave. Finally about 10 minutes later I was able to lock up and leave. We was driving for about 30 minutes on highway 90 and there was an accidents that must have happened a few minutes earlier. There was no police there yet and you can see people ahead pulling over trying to help. After we passed it up, I can tell there were about 3-4 people dead. They was just hanging out the door or lying on the ground and no one was attending to them. I was thinking man if we would have left 10 minutes earlier that probably would have been us in that accident. A few days later I check the accident online and found out that 4 people passed and 2 was alive.
Thank you for the reminder on not settling into complacency within our comfort zone. It keeps us from becoming stagnant. Always look forward to porch time. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule.
I remember when I was a child, my dad loved motorcycles. There was one specific motorcycle that dad wanted and my mom told him not to get it because one day he would not come home. He ended up getting that motorcycle, and 40 years ago yesterday, my dad did not come home. There’s things/times in life that you just need to have faith, and accept that it’s right even if you can’t see it.
A few weeks back, I was praying that God would allow me to continue Trusting my intuition/Holy Spirit when I feel the slightest raindrop on my forehead, and not wiping it away in dismissal. My inebriated friend insisted on driving his truck and I flat out Refused to go with him, he was mad. I sensed an accident. A few hours later, he flipped and totaled his truck. He was okay, but had I Not Listened, I surely would have broken a few bones. Thank You, Jesus !
Thanks for a Wonderful message, very well received 🥰 The Lord has been doing a mighty work in my life lately and it’s spreading to the rest of my household ❤️ God is so good. I’ve never been more happier in my life, than I am now. All glory to God 🥰
I'm just enjoying porch time here in South Africa. Always wait for it. I just love your description of the egg. Makes so much sense ❤. We all learn SO much with every session. Thank you both for giving up your time in your busy day for us 🙏
The beach is a beautiful place to enjoy and bask in Gods Creation. The repercussions of me going to the beach is that I return a relaxed, better Momma and wife, ready to serve my people. Thank God for the beach. 😊
@@sharonmitchell8887 Could be a specific event; but I can't recall Him speaking on it in youtube. There for a while folks in life changing event warnings talked about the oceans rising and flooding out entire states along the coasts... I think we'll see warnings before anything that extreme happening. But I suspect it's just Danny's personal experience & dislikes speaking up. I lived in VA beach area and summertime the tourist crowds were too "spring break" partying to enjoy the beach there...I'd go into North Carolina instead. ;) Guess you and I will be enjoying it anyway the Lord willing. :)
Good morning from Alabama. I grew up in a sheltered family. I have stepped out more than my family ever has. My daddy could never understand me getting on a plane and going to MN. Truth is I was scared. We grew up 40 miles west of Atlanta, we never went there unless someone took us there and it was an emergency. Mama wouldn’t let us go swimming because we might drown. Just the life we lived.
I taught my 5 kids to swim before the age of 5. If you think about it, there is a lot of things besides going swimming that can make you drown, like floods or cars going in the water by accident. etc.
Danny you and Wanda listen to God, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and you reap the benefits. Your a perfect example of living what a good life is. Especially for those who are on the fence on turning to the Lord.
Danny, my daddy was a farmer and cut pulpwood when I was a child. He always brought home wild honey. He didn’t know the science behind it but he said the bees could smell fear. He said there was no way to hide it from the bees.
This year I have added wind chimes, a bubbling water fountain, and now electroculture copper coils, and antennas to my garden. I can't say it's made a difference in my crops, because I'm not doing a controlled experiment it's everywhere in my Garden. What I can say is I feel like the birds are greeting me every morning when I come outside especially the Robin's. It's as if we're friends now. I've always put water out for the birds hoping that they drink the water instead of poking my ma'ters for a drink but I think they like the sound of the splashing sound too. Oh my Garden is thriving also.
@bingster2237, I bet your garden is beautiful. Wish I could see it. I've always had wind chimes in my garden. I have a bird bath outside of the garden. Also have plenty of Zinnia and different Wild Flowers. Thanks for sharing. Have a Great Day!
Thank you for that wonderful message. I am stepping outside my comfort zone now, it’s not easy and I pray for strength everyday. Your wisdom is always welcome.
I enjoyed this morning's Porch Time, Mr. Danny! Thank you for your words of wisdom. Blessings to you & Miss Wanda! Have a wonderful and prosperous week!
❤Hello as a child of the most high there is not much explanation for the blessings in you gardens except it is truly blessed. Love seeing God work in your gardens. More prayers for giving us a word from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Danny I also thank God the few times I do drive somewhere, when I get home, I say ... Thank you Lord- out, and back, safe. too many people ask the Lord for things, but forget to thank Him for what they already have!
Hi Saddle Ridge . Live Simple Live Free TH-cam . Bill and Elizabeth had a experience that could have ended there lives . Only by the Grace of God they are still alive . Awesome Christian couple . Your comment made me think of them ..
Oh, the times I should have died! I hope my guardian angels get OT! I remember kids breaking open thermometers and playing with the mercury, running it through their fingertips, etc. Some things we just didn't know better, others we were just 9 feet tall and bulletproof!
We live in a rural subdivision and we are the only ones I guarantee you we live differently than all the houses here 😆 we actually have a joke in our house with mowers bc you are right about everyone mowing the same time and keeping up with the Jones😆😆. When one neighbor mows the house beside that one gets their mower out and mows and so on down the line 🙄 we let ours go for weeks 🤣 We have neighbors that mow every other day the grass don't even need it but we will go a month or longer🤣 Everyone up here has nothing in their yards except swimming pools and green landscape with no dandelions, our whole backyard doesn't need mowed bc every inch is a food forest lol. The front yard is about the same with very little mowing bc of pines, maples, persimmons, and chestnuts plus blueberry bushes around the front of the house 😆 when people step in our backyard for the first time, they think two things either were hoarders and have too much going on, or (most of them) are truly amazed at all the production of food we have going on, and want to do it too but never do bc they are too busy running to sports or vacations 😀 we live a very simple life with only one debt. Everyone else is trying to empress their neighbors with their electric car, new campers ,new boats, new jeep, new seado and fancy grass🤣🤣🤦♂️ It's gonna be interesting when things get real! I know God placed us here though to be a light to others who have abandoned their God and are too consumed on worldly things.
Danny, you’re a good man. And you’ve been a wonderful husband to Wanda. I enjoy so much watching the both of you - y’all remind me so much of my kin. You are blessed and a blessing to us.
Thank you Mr. Danny. Great advise as always. We have definitely stepped outside our comfort zone by moving away from the suburbs to the country and have completely upended what used to be our life thanks to people like you waking us up. Thank y'all and have a blessed day.
As always, Danny I look forward to porch time, no matter what day of the week I get here. Thank you so very much for sharing your time and your wisdom. God Bless you and Wanda.
A USGS survey map of your area and surrounding could help figure the wind. You both are such a fabulous help to keep my head in the game. I am greatful. And no, I don't care to step out, but it's got to be done.
Good morning, enjoy listening to your words of wisdom on porch time. I have incorporated electro culture in my garden and things are really taking off this year! Thank you and God Bless from Virginia
I had the privilege of participating in a program that I guess might be comparable to Outward Bound when I was in my 30's. We spent six days doing things like a zip line, rappelling down a cliff, running four miles (through mountainous terrain) . . . it gives you a tremendous sense of self-confidence - "If I can do THAT, I can do anything!" It entailed stepping way out of my comfort zone - and remaining there for nearly a week - and was one of the best experiences of my life.
Good Mornin DSH Danny and Wanda 🖐🏻. Thanks for another wonderful porch time. We got some plants in the little garden yesterday, thank God for the energy to get it done. Going to transplant more today. The weather has been crazy and haven't been getting much rain here. We are thankful for our blessings. Appreciate your videos. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all and the Homestead ❤️🙏🙏
Thank you Danny . Watch your channel alot. I give God the glory and praise throughout the good and bad. Because even through the bad times when I don't understand I thank God because his is the only one that dose and knows all things. And it is for my own good .God is always teaching me things all the time. God bless you and Wanda and family .you are a blessing to our family .
You guys are so far ahead of us up North in Nebraska. We are just in the process of planting tomatoes and peppers. The cool season crops like onions, potatoes, cabbage, celery, peas are doing great.
Stepping out of our comfort zone is becoming self sufficient. We have so much peace growing our own food n creating our own meds. Wish we had done this sooner.
I have nylon netting in my garden for the cucumbers, tomatoes and peas. Didn't think about it until you said something, but they are the tallest, best looking veggies in my garden.
Danny my nephew when he was about 3&1/2 - 4 years old who got ran over with a riding lawnmower. Our next door neighbors were going to go somewhere & they kept getting to do to this & that & just couldn't get going out of their house. He had experience and new what to do to slow the bleeding or he would have bled to death before the rescue squad could get him & get him to the hospital but God kept them at their house because of what was going to happen. My nephew had to learn to rewalk and live with his disability. God knows what is going to happen and until the thing happens we have no idea how he planned it. Hes now 52 and lives a good life.
I enjoy this porch time Danny , thankyou so much for the way you just seem to open up peoples mind to .....think...... and i appreciate that, you are a blessing to me...thankyou and Mrs Wanda once again for all your efforts😉👍❤️
I just told a friend last week. I’m not going to live in fear and I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to be a woman who lives by, Even If…not by, What If. God bless y’all.
Good morning deep south. We have had a good bit of rain some stuff is muddy. That would be pretty interesting because maybe the fact that you have the nylon netting all the way around creates like that box . Then all the antennas in there are maybe pulling like the electricity down and of course you know it's maybe just ricocheting back-and-forth off of that nylon and basically the plants are getting instead of just you know the single dose through the antennas maybe it's bouncing off of it in some fashion back to the plant and they're getting hit with maybe double or triple kind of like an echo location wave works you know when it goes out it hit something and bounces back maybe that's how it's working is it's coming down through hits the antennas goes out like an echolocation bounces off and comes back I mean it theory course but😂. Also if you used metal post that could be adding to the electro culture.? I work 8 hours a day and go home to do my garden,goats and chickens. I would love to get away from the 7-3:30 job lifestyle and live a more free life style.
Howdy Danny and Wanda. You two are busy, busy with picking those beans. Plus got lots of other good produce. Finally warmed up here now in 80's so work outside in the morning and evenings when it's a bit cooler. I do hear you on routines. I have been stepping out of my comfort zone a lot these days. I have neighbors that look at me like I'm a dirt bag because I don't do what everyone else is doing. I laugh to myself sometimes and think I need to put up a sign that I don't keep up with the Jones lol I've worked for others at times but I prefer to work for myself and working hard to bring in an income. I look forward to getting my ponds done and can sit by them if choose to. No beach for me. It's just a lot of debauchery there. The angel of the Lord watched over you and your family that day going to church. He knows how to protect us and leads us. Sadly many are going to fall for this scientific and be led astray. I want to continue to know how to live on a daily basis rather than be in a rut. That was a learning experience with those bees. I very much appreciate what you've shared. I desire to step out in Him continually and He'll always be there no matter the outcome. That's not in my hands but trusting him, living by faith and being bold for Him has more benefits than silence and conforming. Be blessed as you go forward and thanks again for sharing.
It’s a joy to listen to your life’s experiences….thankful for your sharing with wisdom, humility and love for our Lord Jesus. Thank you Danny and Wanda❤️
Danny, I have been using many of Jerry Baker’s methods over 25 years now, I have two of his books that I still use. Thank you for Porch Time talks. Thinking after hearing, thats what they do for me everytime………… take care !!!!!
OLD TIMERS USED NYLONS TO TIE THINGS UP AND ALWAYS LOVED AN ELECTRICAL STORM FOR THE GARDEN. JERRY BAKER WAS A SMART MAN KNEW THE THINGS OLD TIMERS DID AND SHARED IT .I DO THINGS THE WAY MY GREAT GRANNY AND MY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA AND MY MOM DID THEM AS FAR AS GROWING GOES.
May God bless you Danny 🙏 ❤️ ✨️ have a wonderful day. Enjoy your fruits of labor. I'm still waiting for our soil temperature to warm up so I can plant, I'm in Wisconsin, it's so frustrating. Seedlings are getting big.
Having a routine drives me nuts. I am very sporatic. I am rebuilding a vintage camper to turn it into a concession trailer. I am glad that i looked at it in the evening when i couldnt see the extent of the damage because i might not have bought it. Now i have it and have to tackle it. It has been a challenge but i am getting there.
When I was about 7 years old I went exploring in the country with my brother and my cousin who were both a few years older than me. My cousin was the oldest and the leader and he pointed out some poison oak and warned us to stay away at all costs. At the time, I've heard of it and have had knew people who got it, so people get it some don't, but this was the first time I've seen it. I told him I didn't get poison oak and he laughed at me. Probably trying to act cool or be accepted or something(he might of dared me) but I grabbed one of the fan leaves of the plant and rubbed it all over my chest and my stomach all over my arms. We had our shirts off because it was hot so I rubbed everywhere. Sure enough that evening I couldn't stop itching and heard my brother laughing at me all night long. The next night I slept in a sheet with both my eyes swollen shut and ended up staying home from school for a week in the unwanted condition anyone could ever ask for. It was absolutely the worse but I had to find out for myself! Great video...I'm gonna go watch another one!🤙SHAKA
Like you, I've never seen the attraction of going to the beach - but I love the mountains! I have felt closer to God in the high country, where you can see across the mountain tops for miles, where a stream is actually clean enough to drink, the wildlife is thriving - I've enjoyed the beach, the few times I went, but just don't feel any attraction.

My daddy was like that Danny. Woman's Work was Woman's and men's Work was men's work. Because of that reason I taught my boys how to cook and clean. I taught my daughter how to change a tire, mower yard and both how to grow a garden.
My daddy made all of the girls learn to change a tire before we got our license.
Good for you. Good job.
I really enjoy your porch times, and all your and Miss Wanda's videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom and knowledge of homesteading. I've started the first garden I've had in over 15 years, at age 66 and while living with metastatic breast cancer. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with God's help snd guidance!🌱

The itinterary and child care was lined up and hotel rooms purchased a month ahead of schedule. Out of nowhere... my husband got a job offer, via employee referral, for a contract to permanent possition for 3 times his salary in our home town. We honestly thought it was a joke at first.

At the time, I was just grateful it wasn't the cops again bringing him home (they actually used to do that back in the day).
He said, "I was just happily walking along, and I heard someone say, "Cross the road". No-one was there so I ignored the voice. Then again, much louder, "Cross-The-Road". No more did I get to the other side when a drunk driver came off the road and sped straight through where I would have been. I stood there in shock realizing that, stoned or not, the Holy Spirit had just spoke to me and spared my life ".
God is indeed very faithful, loving, and kind, and you are right... He absolutely does intervene in our lives.
@@kristycook6041 It means it was not his time to die, and Angels only intercede when it's Not time. I had the same experience when I took a ride w Ted Bundy when I was 19yrs. I heard in my left ear, "Get OUT of the car, now!" I near didn't believe it, then Again, Louder along with a physical Push on my left shoulder..."GET OUT OF THE CAR, NOW !!!" I grabbed my Harper Study Bible off his dash (yeah, can you believe the Bible in Ted's face) and the door handle at the same time and jumped out. He begged me to get back in. I stood on the curb and said to God, "Please, one day tell me what that was all about." Several years later, Ted's face was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News saying he was being executed, and I gasped. Your son is here for a Reason, and so Am I.💗 AMEN !
@@kristycook6041 Ah, this warmed my spirit up with a big smile. Thank you for sharing!
Danny, I really appreciated this video so much. Thank you.
My very Italian husband "had his work, and I had mine" for our 50 years of marriage. Now, retired, going on 53 years, he has learned to take clothes out of the dryer and fold them!! lol. He can cook his eggs for breakfast, but nothing fancy, and hot dogs.
He tried to cook bacon, as I do in the oven: well I had to remedy it.
He doesn't try to make hamburgers anymore, because they look like big meatballs, ( and I won't eat them). He just can't cook, though I try to guide him. In that,well, he just doesn't want to be taught. Not part of his job. But he's obviously a good man, 53 years is a lifetime. So, his comfort zone, in some ways, are impenetrable. That's fine)
But this video certainly made me smile. Especially when waiting for your wife, Wanda, in the car and sounding the horn. That is Him. I got to the point that in getting 5 children up & running to go to Church, I just couldn't take the pressure any more- but my children were there, so God saw that. And my husband is a diabetic, so dinner had to be ready on time.
Your video really hit home for me)) Very detailed and enjoyable)
Thank you, again..will make sure my husband sees this on**
Thank you Danny and Wanda. I need some prayer. My son-in-law has a huge backyard. I asked my daughter if we could grow some vegetables. She said no that it was too much work. (Even if I took care of it. Every day.) Now there’s a comfort zone. 🤨🙏
We love you too Danny ;) I needed to hear this...I have to laugh because I tried to multitask and just let it play in the background; but the Holy Spirit took hold of me and said "pay attention". ;) So I stopped, hit rewind...and listened. I enjoy your stories which might seem like rambling to some...but you always use the illustration to teach just like our Lord did.
This is my first gardening season back after being so very ill from heart failure, lung collapse, medication reactions, two hospitalizations, slow recovery and now 10 pills a day that I'm trying to wean off of though the doc says...it's forever. >.< I'm on my feet, but I'm feeling the lack of confidence to return to a strong, homesteading lifestyle. It's only me working it for the most part & I wish I had more help. But I've stepped out of my comfort zone (physical & mental) and just went for it this year as I am the leader in this regard. I have to fight 3 years of overgrown acres (poison hemlock, thistle & poison ivy & other noxious weeds trying to take over with every other weed...) I have to: I pick my battles one day at a time & hope that my body keeps up with planting time. I bought some seed that might be ambitious for me to try like Armenian melons which I know nothing about growing...but I'm gonna listen to the Spirit urging me through your chat today. Step out of my comfort zone...just try.
Now is the time to actually grow food & stop talking about it for many of us. With my health and age at 64, I can choose to just throw up my hands and say "I can't", but I feel the Lord is telling me I can...and He saved me from death & brought me healing & blessing - I trust Him. I know in my gut, that I need to do this or we won't survive what is coming. So I move a step closer to my goal one day at a time right? I can plan, till, sow, weed, water, protect, - the Lord brings the harvest. It will be worth the struggle and the effort to break out of my comfort zone and just try. If I fail, I know there is a lesson in there for me from the Lord and it will be worth the effort. I needed this chat today brother...thank you :)
Largely due to your encouragement, we have stepped outside our former comfort zone and are growing more food than we would have ever considered. You & Miss Wanda are appreciated very much and I know you are used of the Lord. ❤
I remember on Thanksgiving I was working, and I was trying to close the shop early to meet up with my family in New Orleans. Everytime I tried to close a customer would pull in the driveway to buy stuff before I could leave. Finally about 10 minutes later I was able to lock up and leave. We was driving for about 30 minutes on highway 90 and there was an accidents that must have happened a few minutes earlier. There was no police there yet and you can see people ahead pulling over trying to help. After we passed it up, I can tell there were about 3-4 people dead. They was just hanging out the door or lying on the ground and no one was attending to them. I was thinking man if we would have left 10 minutes earlier that probably would have been us in that accident. A few days later I check the accident online and found out that 4 people passed and 2 was alive.
Thank you lord for slowing us down and helping keep our focus on your path
Thank you for the reminder on not settling into complacency within our comfort zone. It keeps us from becoming stagnant. Always look forward to porch time. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule.
I remember when I was a child, my dad loved motorcycles. There was one specific motorcycle that dad wanted and my mom told him not to get it because one day he would not come home. He ended up getting that motorcycle, and 40 years ago yesterday, my dad did not come home. There’s things/times in life that you just need to have faith, and accept that it’s right even if you can’t see it.
A few weeks back, I was praying that God would allow me to continue Trusting my intuition/Holy Spirit when I feel the slightest raindrop on my forehead, and not wiping it away in dismissal. My inebriated friend insisted on driving his truck and I flat out Refused to go with him, he was mad. I sensed an accident. A few hours later, he flipped and totaled his truck. He was okay, but had I Not Listened, I surely would have broken a few bones. Thank You, Jesus !
Thanks for a Wonderful message, very well received 🥰 The Lord has been doing a mighty work in my life lately and it’s spreading to the rest of my household ❤️ God is so good. I’ve never been more happier in my life, than I am now. All glory to God 🥰
I'm just enjoying porch time here in South Africa. Always wait for it. I just love your description of the egg. Makes so much sense ❤. We all learn SO much with every session. Thank you both for giving up your time in your busy day for us 🙏
The beach is a beautiful place to enjoy and bask in Gods Creation. The repercussions of me going to the beach is that I return a relaxed, better Momma and wife, ready to serve my people. Thank God for the beach. 😊
Me too...we are going this summer the Lord willing. If chaos happens... oh well guess we'll problem solve from the beach... :)
@@onedazinn998 What is supposed to be so bad about being on the beach to which Danny is referring? Just wondering what this upcoming event could be?
@@sharonmitchell8887 Could be a specific event; but I can't recall Him speaking on it in youtube. There for a while folks in life changing event warnings talked about the oceans rising and flooding out entire states along the coasts... I think we'll see warnings before anything that extreme happening. But I suspect it's just Danny's personal experience & dislikes speaking up. I lived in VA beach area and summertime the tourist crowds were too "spring break" partying to enjoy the beach there...I'd go into North Carolina instead. ;) Guess you and I will be enjoying it anyway the Lord willing. :)
@@onedazinn998 Sounds like a good plan to me.
Love Porch time
Love hearing someone talking scripture
Good morning from Alabama. I grew up in a sheltered family. I have stepped out more than my family ever has. My daddy could never understand me getting on a plane and going to MN. Truth is I was scared. We grew up 40 miles west of Atlanta, we never went there unless someone took us there and it was an emergency. Mama wouldn’t let us go swimming because we might drown. Just the life we lived.
My mom was the same way.
Well maybe it was fear of gators.
@@Jake-ji1or 😂No fear of gators in north GA, only in south GA.
I taught my 5 kids to swim before the age of 5. If you think about it, there is a lot of things besides going swimming that can make you drown, like floods or cars going in the water by accident. etc.
Danny you and Wanda listen to God, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and you reap the benefits. Your a perfect example of living what a good life is. Especially for those who are on the fence on turning to the Lord.
Danny, my daddy was a farmer and cut pulpwood when I was a child. He always brought home wild honey. He didn’t know the science behind it but he said the bees could smell fear. He said there was no way to hide it from the bees.
This year I have added wind chimes, a bubbling water fountain, and now electroculture copper coils, and antennas to my garden. I can't say it's made a difference in my crops, because I'm not doing a controlled experiment it's everywhere in my Garden. What I can say is I feel like the birds are greeting me every morning when I come outside especially the Robin's. It's as if we're friends now. I've always put water out for the birds hoping that they drink the water instead of poking my ma'ters for a drink but I think they like the sound of the splashing sound too. Oh my Garden is thriving also.
@bingster2237, I bet your garden is beautiful. Wish I could see it. I've always had wind chimes in my garden. I have a bird bath outside of the garden. Also have plenty of Zinnia and different Wild Flowers. Thanks for sharing. Have a Great Day!
Thank you for that wonderful message. I am stepping outside my comfort zone now, it’s not easy and I pray for strength everyday. Your wisdom is always welcome.
I enjoyed this morning's Porch Time, Mr. Danny! Thank you for your words of wisdom. Blessings to you & Miss Wanda! Have a wonderful and prosperous week!
❤Hello as a child of the most high there is not much explanation for the blessings in you gardens except it is truly blessed. Love seeing God work in your gardens. More prayers for giving us a word from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Good morning brother!
Danny I also thank God the few times I do drive somewhere, when I get home, I say ...
Thank you Lord- out, and back, safe. too many people ask the Lord for things, but forget to thank Him for what they already have!
Hi Saddle Ridge . Live Simple Live Free TH-cam . Bill and Elizabeth had a experience that could have ended there lives . Only by the Grace of God they are still alive . Awesome Christian couple . Your comment made me think of them ..
Good morning Danny and Wanda. Thanks for sharing your lives with us and for your teachings.
Oh, the times I should have died! I hope my guardian angels get OT! I remember kids breaking open thermometers and playing with the mercury, running it through their fingertips, etc. Some things we just didn't know better, others we were just 9 feet tall and bulletproof!
We live in a rural subdivision and we are the only ones I guarantee you we live differently than all the houses here 😆 we actually have a joke in our house with mowers bc you are right about everyone mowing the same time and keeping up with the Jones😆😆. When one neighbor mows the house beside that one gets their mower out and mows and so on down the line 🙄 we let ours go for weeks 🤣 We have neighbors that mow every other day the grass don't even need it but we will go a month or longer🤣 Everyone up here has nothing in their yards except swimming pools and green landscape with no dandelions, our whole backyard doesn't need mowed bc every inch is a food forest lol. The front yard is about the same with very little mowing bc of pines, maples, persimmons, and chestnuts plus blueberry bushes around the front of the house 😆 when people step in our backyard for the first time, they think two things either were hoarders and have too much going on, or (most of them) are truly amazed at all the production of food we have going on, and want to do it too but never do bc they are too busy running to sports or vacations 😀 we live a very simple life with only one debt. Everyone else is trying to empress their neighbors with their electric car, new campers ,new boats, new jeep, new seado and fancy grass🤣🤣🤦♂️ It's gonna be interesting when things get real! I know God placed us here though to be a light to others who have abandoned their God and are too consumed on worldly things.
Danny, you’re a good man. And you’ve been a wonderful husband to Wanda. I enjoy so much watching the both of you - y’all remind me so much of my kin. You are blessed and a blessing to us.
I’m so happy I live my life NOW as you do.
Thank you Mr. Danny. Great advise as always. We have definitely stepped outside our comfort zone by moving away from the suburbs to the country and have completely upended what used to be our life thanks to people like you waking us up. Thank y'all and have a blessed day.
How exciting! ;) May God be with your journey and bring you blessing and good harvest!
As always, Danny I look forward to porch time, no matter what day of the week I get here. Thank you so very much for sharing your time and your wisdom. God Bless you and Wanda.
A USGS survey map of your area and surrounding could help figure the wind. You both are such a fabulous help to keep my head in the game. I am greatful. And no, I don't care to step out, but it's got to be done.
Good Morning DSH Danny & Wanda!❤
Danny, the same thing happened to my garden when I put 4ft chicken wire around my garden. No bug issues other than worms.
Good morning 😊
Thank you for PorchTime ❤️
Morning
Morning Danny I'm growing all the garden stuff i can plant this year
Great messages 👍👍👍!
Good morning, enjoy listening to your words of wisdom on porch time. I have incorporated electro culture in my garden and things are really taking off this year! Thank you and God Bless from Virginia
I agree with you Danny. I always want to step out if my comfort zone in life an it has brought me a lot. I like to learn a lot of new things. See ya!
After nearly 48 years of working as a nurse and being a single parent, sleep is a gift retirement has provided.
Good morning! Thank you Danny! Have a blessed week!
Morning
Good morning Deep South! I love porchtime!
I get so excited when it is porch time. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share. ❤🌸❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️
I don’t always say it but I love my porch time!
God Bless Danny and Wanda...we are listening .. thank you!!
We are always very grateful for wisdom and knowledge of the world around us! May our Father continue to bless you and your family forever!
I enjoy your Porch Time episodes , they inspire me and encourage me. Thank you
Good morning Danny and Wanda I enjoy porch time and thank you for the video
Good morning, y'all, from South Carolina. 🌄☕
Morning
I had the privilege of participating in a program that I guess might be comparable to Outward Bound when I was in my 30's. We spent six days doing things like a zip line, rappelling down a cliff, running four miles (through mountainous terrain) . . . it gives you a tremendous sense of self-confidence - "If I can do THAT, I can do anything!" It entailed stepping way out of my comfort zone - and remaining there for nearly a week - and was one of the best experiences of my life.
I always look forward to Tuesday mornings….thank you
Morning y’all
Good Mornin DSH Danny and Wanda 🖐🏻. Thanks for another wonderful porch time. We got some plants in the little garden yesterday, thank God for the energy to get it done. Going to transplant more today. The weather has been crazy and haven't been getting much rain here. We are thankful for our blessings. Appreciate your videos. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all and the Homestead ❤️🙏🙏
Morning
Thank you Danny . Watch your channel alot. I give God the glory and praise throughout the good and bad. Because even through the bad times when I don't understand I thank God because his is the only one that dose and knows all things. And it is for my own good .God is always teaching me things all the time. God bless you and Wanda and family .you are a blessing to our family .
You guys are so far ahead of us up North in Nebraska. We are just in the process of planting tomatoes and peppers. The cool season crops like onions, potatoes, cabbage, celery, peas are doing great.
Stepping out of our comfort zone is becoming self sufficient. We have so much peace growing our own food n creating our own meds. Wish we had done this sooner.
Great message Danny. Always love porch time
I have nylon netting in my garden for the cucumbers, tomatoes and peas. Didn't think about it until you said something, but they are the tallest, best looking veggies in my garden.
I'm very curious about it.
Maybe static electricity? Interesting.
@Deep South Homestead did you use metal, plastic or wood posts to secure the netting?
@@lindafriesen3559 metal
My blueberries were not as prolific as last year. Keep hoping. Keep working. Keeping on. 😊
Great words MR, Danny, Thank you.
Completely agree with ya… thank you for all your wisdom.. 🕊
G’mornin Danny and Wanda.
Morning
Danny my nephew when he was about 3&1/2 - 4 years old who got ran over with a riding lawnmower. Our next door neighbors were going to go somewhere & they kept getting to do to this & that & just couldn't get going out of their house. He had experience and new what to do to slow the bleeding or he would have bled to death before the rescue squad could get him & get him to the hospital but God kept them at their house because of what was going to happen. My nephew had to learn to rewalk and live with his disability. God knows what is going to happen and until the thing happens we have no idea how he planned it. Hes now 52 and lives a good life.
I love to listen to you and just learn to live.
Thanks from Alabama for sharing your life with us, do appreciate your words wisdom. Love you guy
Thank you, Danny, for all your wisdom!
Thanks Danny
I believe we had the same father!!!
SPEAK YOUR MIND BROTHER.
Good Morning Wanda and Danny ❤
I enjoy this porch time Danny , thankyou so much for the way you just seem to open up peoples mind to .....think...... and i appreciate that, you are a blessing to me...thankyou and Mrs Wanda once again for all your efforts😉👍❤️
I just told a friend last week. I’m not going to live in fear and I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to be a woman who lives by, Even If…not by, What If. God bless y’all.
Love that! :)
I enjoy seeing and listening to everything that you and wanda do. God keep blessing both of you.
Good morning deep south. We have had a good bit of rain some stuff is muddy.
That would be pretty interesting because maybe the fact that you have the nylon netting all the way around creates like that box . Then all the antennas in there are maybe pulling like the electricity down and of course you know it's maybe just ricocheting back-and-forth off of that nylon and basically the plants are getting instead of just you know the single dose through the antennas maybe it's bouncing off of it in some fashion back to the plant and they're getting hit with maybe double or triple kind of like an echo location wave works you know when it goes out it hit something and bounces back maybe that's how it's working is it's coming down through hits the antennas goes out like an echolocation bounces off and comes back I mean it theory course but😂.
Also if you used metal post that could be adding to the electro culture.?
I work 8 hours a day and go home to do my garden,goats and chickens. I would love to get away from the 7-3:30 job lifestyle and live a more free life style.
Howdy Danny and Wanda. You two are busy, busy with picking those beans.
Plus got lots of other good produce.
Finally warmed up here now in 80's so work outside in the morning and evenings when it's a bit cooler.
I do hear you on routines. I have been stepping out of my comfort zone a lot these days.
I have neighbors that look at me like I'm a dirt bag because I don't do what everyone else is doing.
I laugh to myself sometimes and think I need to put up a sign that I don't keep up with the Jones lol
I've worked for others at times but I prefer to work for myself and working hard to bring in an income.
I look forward to getting my ponds done and can sit by them if choose to.
No beach for me. It's just a lot of debauchery there.
The angel of the Lord watched over you and your family that day going to church.
He knows how to protect us and leads us.
Sadly many are going to fall for this scientific and be led astray.
I want to continue to know how to live on a daily basis rather than be in a rut.
That was a learning experience with those bees.
I very much appreciate what you've shared. I desire to step out in Him continually and He'll always be there
no matter the outcome. That's not in my hands but trusting him, living by faith and being bold for Him
has more benefits than silence and conforming.
Be blessed as you go forward and thanks again for sharing.
Amen 🙂. God bless
Another good one Danny!
Good morning Danny and Wanda.
Trying electro culture and I am seeing a big difference in my flowers and vegetables.
Morning that's awesome.
It’s a joy to listen to your life’s experiences….thankful for your sharing with wisdom, humility and love for our Lord Jesus. Thank you Danny and Wanda❤️
Danny, I have been using many of Jerry Baker’s methods over 25 years now, I have two of his books that I still use. Thank you for Porch Time talks. Thinking after hearing, thats what they do for me everytime………… take care !!!!!
Thank you! Much love and blessings for you and your family ❤️✝️
Good morning Danny. What a very impactive stories. Loved them thank you so much!
From what I google , pure nylon had a electrical conductivity of 3.8 × 10-4 s/cm
❤ Porch Time
Good morning
❤. Thanks far another good video. I’m so glade God has blessed y’all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Grrreat! Thanks
OLD TIMERS USED NYLONS TO TIE THINGS UP AND ALWAYS LOVED AN ELECTRICAL STORM FOR THE GARDEN. JERRY BAKER WAS A SMART MAN KNEW THE THINGS OLD TIMERS DID AND SHARED IT .I DO THINGS THE WAY MY GREAT GRANNY AND MY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA AND MY MOM DID THEM AS FAR AS GROWING GOES.
May God bless you Danny 🙏 ❤️ ✨️ have a wonderful day. Enjoy your fruits of labor. I'm still waiting for our soil temperature to warm up so I can plant, I'm in Wisconsin, it's so frustrating. Seedlings are getting big.
AMEN!!!
thank you Danny!
I'm big on taking the path less traveled. People miss so much. 😊
Love the egg analogy. I will keep that with me
Wow, Michigan here and we are just getting started. 😮😢
Having a routine drives me nuts. I am very sporatic. I am rebuilding a vintage camper to turn it into a concession trailer. I am glad that i looked at it in the evening when i couldnt see the extent of the damage because i might not have bought it. Now i have it and have to tackle it. It has been a challenge but i am getting there.
God Bless yall Danny and Wanda. Your a breath of fresh air. Thank You
When I was about 7 years old I went exploring in the country with my brother and my cousin who were both a few years older than me. My cousin was the oldest and the leader and he pointed out some poison oak and warned us to stay away at all costs. At the time, I've heard of it and have had knew people who got it, so people get it some don't, but this was the first time I've seen it. I told him I didn't get poison oak and he laughed at me. Probably trying to act cool or be accepted or something(he might of dared me) but I grabbed one of the fan leaves of the plant and rubbed it all over my chest and my stomach all over my arms. We had our shirts off because it was hot so I rubbed everywhere. Sure enough that evening I couldn't stop itching and heard my brother laughing at me all night long. The next night I slept in a sheet with both my eyes swollen shut and ended up staying home from school for a week in the unwanted condition anyone could ever ask for. It was absolutely the worse but I had to find out for myself! Great video...I'm gonna go watch another one!🤙SHAKA
Like you, I've never seen the attraction of going to the beach - but I love the mountains! I have felt closer to God in the high country, where you can see across the mountain tops for miles, where a stream is actually clean enough to drink, the wildlife is thriving - I've enjoyed the beach, the few times I went, but just don't feel any attraction.
We haven't gotten any rain. Send some this way!
