Sidewalk / Grass Edger
Crock Pickles
fresh dill leaves, stems or seeds
mixed pickling spices
12 lbs. freshly picked cucumbers
Pickling solution
2 gallons cold water
1 pint vinegar
1 lb canning or Kosher salt
Weigh down using a heavy crockery weight or a dish with a brick over the top. If a stone is used, be sure it isn't limestone. The pickles should be weighted down to keep them submerged under the liquid.
If the temperature is kept about 86°F, fermentation will be complete within about 2 weeks (if cooler, fermentation will take longer).
Pickles should become a dark green, but should not be slimy. At the end of the curing, the pickles may be put up in sterilized canning jars.
Fill the jars with cured pickles. Fill the sterile jars with fresh pickling brine (same as above) flavored with a little spice and dill.

The Spirit Gives... self discipline??
I have been struggling with my diet and exercise plan. It is simple enough to follow, I just lack self discipline.
Today I logged into YouVersion to read Colossians (I'm reading Colossians every day this month) and this was the verse of the day:
2 Timothy 1:7 NIV
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
I don't know how many times I have read the book of Timothy, but it is safe to assume I have read this verse more than 5 times. At least.
So how did I miss it? The Spirit God gave me gives me self dicipline.
So I must have self discipline.
Leaving the question, why do I not see self discipline in my life? Why am I not using what God has given me? How can I better tap into this resource in my life?
I suspect the answer is that I will need to practice it. The more I use it, the easier it will become, and the better I will get with it.
