Lift: The Power of Service 121gamers 1 Views • 1 year ago

“What if your neighbor asked you to take 20 minutes one night to help him? Would you do it? Most decent people would. But what if he asked you every night following, with no end in sight? Would you be willing to do it? … When would serving your neighbor feel more like servitude?”

That is the question a group of men had to ask themselves when they united to serve their neighbor Kathy, who suffers from the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis. For the past seven years they have lifted Kathy into bed at night. In doing so they have lifted her spirit, as well as their own.

Kathy was diagnosed after 16 years of marriage. She assumed her husband would face the challenge with her. He decided he could not and filed for divorce. When her sons grew up, they had to come to her house every night and morning to help her in and out of bed. The work became too much for them to do alone.

A group of 50 men—friends, neighbors, and church members—offered to help. Every night, two of them come to get the bedtime routine rolling. They pull off her slippers, adjust her pillows, charge her wheelchair, and place pills on the nightstand. Then they lift her into bed. At first, the men felt awkward about the procedure and burdened by the responsibility.

“I felt sympathetic to the situation, but I felt like ‘You know, I’ve got other things I need to deal with,’” one explains.

The group discussed how they could help Kathy without having to visit her every night. One of the men said that if the others didn’t want to help, he would do it himself if he had to. That caused a change in attitude among the group. Kathy’s heart has also been touched and changed as a result of the service.

“I have seen an even greater compassion. It’s let me know that I’m not forgotten, that I’m still valued, not only to God, but I have worth to give other people in different ways,” she says.

How To Make Boat Soup - Episode 262 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat 121gamers 1 Views • 1 year ago

THANK YOU to everyone who has joined and upgraded on Patreon. The next Live from the Boat Shed for Patreon supporters will certainly be a hoot! The link to join is below.

You're invited to our Longboarding Party! Buy some wood, try your hand at the "torture boards". RSVP here: https://forms.gle/ySWqNjBYM24snbVNA

For some pine tar soap and beautiful, traditional yacht enamels, visit Kirby Paint Co.'s website: https://kirbypaint.com/

Ross goes over exactly what he was doing on the boat deck for the weeks he was here, including the refining of the surface and seams where Jeffrey's Marine Glue had gone astray or needed some care. Enjoy a satisfying application of linseed oil to the deck, too.

Small pieces, all that were simultaneously in production, are installed on the boat, making Arabella look more complete than ever as far as deck furniture is concerned. The coaming for the lazarette hatch, the companionway step and frame, the main sheet traveler (with a sneak peek at its future), the forehatch, the cockpit nav station, dorade boxes, the toerails... it's all coming together.

And finally, we share our very simple version of boat soup. Anne uses far less tar and adds turpentine to hers. The recipes vary from shop to shop. Share yours below!

Thanks for cheering us on. It means the world.

Acorn to Arabella is a wooden boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
