Sola Homesteading Project 5: Drying Firewood (a fiercely opinionated subject)
Men like to argue, especially online, and especially about firewood. Its an opportunity to let people know that you know about BTUs and Husqvarna chainsaws and the absolute best way to stack firewood. So naturally this is a fiercely opinionated subject; how to dry firewood. I’ve tried a number of approaches over about 8 years

Sola Homesteading Project 4: Sawing Boards from Trees
Everything is easy with the right tools, but you’re probably not going to want to buy a $10,000 sawmill setup to cut just a few boards. So how do you do it? There are lots of ways, and they will be tedious, but it could work. If you’re like me, you want to “use every

Early Preaching in Unionville / Westtown
A couple years ago I researched extensively on “Meeker’s Meeting House” aka Westtown Meeting House which existed in the late 18th century and early 19th century near the border of New York and New Jersey and is the parent church of a few others in the area. The information I found was scarce but sufficient
Sola Homesteading Project #3: Building a Greenhouse

Sola Homesteading Project #1: Building a Fence

Check back later for articles on making sassafras root beer, drying firewood, picking berries, and various other subjects.] I did a lot of research before building a fence around my yard. Like so many subjects, fence building brings out a variety
Some Remembrances of Dwight F. Zeller
In the title of this post I originally typed “Dr.” in front of “Dwight F. Zeller.” And indeed he had a doctorate in Greek Language from Eastern Baptist in Philadelphia. Yet, I don’t recall him hardly ever using the title “Dr.” He was not the sort to emphasize that. And so I removed it from
Bishop Marsh’s Lecture on Typology, 1813
[Occasionally in theological literature you will find reference to “Marsh’s Dictum” regarding typology. This dictum is the idea that valid Biblical types are limited to those which are explicitly cited as such in the New Testament. I hope to analyze this dictum in a future article. In the meanwhile, I thought it would be valuable
