These kittens were born recently
Informer: I searched for where the cries came from
and found out the kittens were born here
After taking a closer look...
The kittens bodies are stuck together
They try to move...
But they look intertwined
Informer: The back legs are intertwined and stuck together
Just like twisted bread sticks
The kittens are struggling
to separate themselves
What happened?
Vet: Their skin or part of their body could pressured together
or deformed like Siamese twins
A possibility that they were
born as deformed Siamese twins
Vet: Even if they are imperfectly separated
it's impossible for five kitten to be born at the same time
In addition, it would've been difficult for the mother
A low possibility for them to be Siamese twins
But how did this happen?
A late night, hard to take action
We decided to wait for the next day
Next morning
Hoping they are doing fine
But one kitten looks strange...
(Last night's situation)
One kitten is struggling
No more movement
The mother is grooming the cold kitten
The other kittens are also in danger!
It's an urgent situation
Vet: It's okay, let me see the kittens
Stay still
Emergency check up on the spot
The mother is feeling uneasy
Because of a stranger's touch
The treatment begins
Cries of pain
The mother takes the baby
Stray cats aren't used to kindness
We hope they understand us
Treatment continues
Vet: It's going to be difficult to treat one of the kittens
One of them has a leg that is dead
The other two kittens
are infected by a virus in the umbilical cord
so it's not good
They need surgery
The mother will move with the kittens
Because they feed from the mother
Vet: Take the kittens with care
The vet's movement become faster
Surgery starts right away
We hope they can stay strong
Vet: It ended up as a necrosis due to the lack of blood flow
The umbilical cord was not cleaned up properly
So a virus spread through the umbilical cord
A serious situation
We can't give up!
They are trying their best
to make the kitten survive
The surgery for the ripped stomach has ended
But the kitten isn't breathing
Vet: The heart can't overcome it
It's sad
The kitten dies
Before it even opened its eyes
How are the other kittens doing?
Vet: If we let the necrosis develop
not only are there issues with the cut parts
but problems gradually rise to the upper part
I think we have to cut
the lower femur on the thigh
An unavoidable surgery to let the kitten live
The kitten suffers pain as soon as it's born
The kitten are withholding well
Vet: They need treatment for blood poisoning the next 3-5 days
The surgery ends...
And the kitten are taken back to the mother
Vet: Mother, don't be surprised
Your baby is here
From six kitten last night
to the remaining three
The kitten were wrapped by the placenta
What was the problem?
Vet: When they were born
the kittens were born with the placenta around them
and the mother wasn't able to remove it properly
The placenta hardens over time
but like a thread of nylon,
it led them to be intertwined
The mother couldn't take care of them
It wasn't even her first time giving birth
Informer: She gave birth to one kitten the first time I saw her give birth
And the two kitten on the side was the second time I saw her give birth
The third time giving birth
Vet: When you become a stray cat,
the process of mating happen recklessly between different individuals
The mother is exhausted
from giving birth continuously
She wasn't able to take up basic roles
The exhausting life on the roads
and the tragedy that happened from there
A hospital visit a while later
Vet: Guys~
Someone's here for a visit
The cat family looks healthy
Their eyes are now wide open
And even have names
Mischievous Taeyang
Sassy Dal
Despite the big scar she has,
Byul is brave
Vet: Luckily, they are all healthy and able to see
They are active and can digests well
In a good mood, huh
The mother looks more comfortable
The cat family is living a new life
thanks to the people's interest and efforts
We hope this happiness lasts forever♥

Energy doesn't FLOW the way you THINK! (Electrodynamics) - Duration: 7:50.
How does alternating current even work if the charges never go anywhere?
The answer to this question rearranged all my intuitions about circuits.
Prepare for a mind blow.
This episode was made possible by generous supporters on Patreon.
Hey Crazies.
One thing you cannot do is confuse the motion of charge with the motion of energy.
They are not the same thing.
Let's define them both very carefully.
Electric current, or just current for short, is the flow of positive charge.
Wait wait, positive charge?
Yeah, you can thank Ben Franklin for that.
To the timeline!!
Back in 1748, Ben Franklin stated two things about electricity.
One: Amber becomes negative when rubbed.
And Two: Current is flow of positive charge.
Then, 150 years later, JJ Thomson discovered the electron and we realized we had a problem.
You'd think we'd have adjusted one of Franklin's definitions, but we didn't.
We doubled-down on them instead.
Even though we know negative charge is what moves in a current,
we pretend like it's positive charge moving in the opposite direction.
Human stubbornness will never cease to amaze me.
Anyway, we have to live with it now.
Electric current is the flow of positive charge
and we measure it in amperes, or amps for short.
The energy flow, on the other hand, is best described by something like power.
That's basically how fast the energy is being used
and it's measured in joules per second or watts.
Turn down for watt!
Anyway, current and power are related to each other.
Since current is charge over time and voltage is energy per charge
power is just current times voltage.
It's a relatively easy calculation.
But our original question isn't really about amounts.
It's about direction.
This equation tells us nothing about direction.
But isn't the energy carried along by charged particles?
Won't the current and power be the same direction?
Well, "yes" to the first question, but "no" to the second.
The charged particles do have energy because, well, everything has energy,
but that's not the energy that's powering whatever device you're using.
Let's say, for the sake of simplicity, it's just an incandescent light bulb.
What I'm about to explain will be true of everything,
but we don't want to get caught up in unimportant details.
On that same note, let's power that light bulb using a simple battery.
The positive end has a higher energy than the negative end
so, if you give the charges a path, they'll fall to the lower energy.
That's what an electric current is.
Over time, we know the energy in the battery goes down as we use our devices.
It can cause sheer panic when it's the battery in our phones,
but this same thing happens with the light bulb too.
The energy in the battery goes down as the light bulb emits heat and light.
The flow of that energy is described by something called the Poynting Vector.
No, that's not a typo.
It's named after John Henry Poynting, the guy who came up with it.
It is a pun though because it points in the direction of energy flow.
I love puns.
Anyway, here's the Poynting vector.
E is the electric field, B is the magnetic field,
and mu is just a constant to make the units come out right.
Don't worry too much about it.
That gives us the energy flowing through an area every second.
A common example of this vector is light.
Light is an electromagnetic wave,
a disturbance in electric and magnetic fields that results in a flow of energy.
From a bulb, that's looks something like this.
But the Poynting vector is true for any electric and magnetic fields,
not just the ones you find in light.
What's the deal with those fields again?
Hmm, I guess I can do a quickie review.
Charges affect the electric field and moving charges affect the magnetic field.
These fields are not attached to the charge.
They stay attached to space, while the charge moves.
If no charges are around, the fields are still there.
They're just zero.
A similar thing happens around a battery.
This battery can be thought of as two equal but opposite charges.
Those charges will affect the electric field.
But, according to the Poynting vector, we don't get an energy flow
without also having a magnetic field.
The battery isn't going to lose energy just sitting there.
It has to be connected to something.
Here's the electric field around the battery again, drawn a little simpler.
If we connect some wires and a light bulb, the field will distort a little.
Even though the charge in that extra stuff is balanced,
it still channels the field through itself.
The field in those materials is strong enough to push charge along.
Now that there's a closed loop, the electric field will cause a steady current
and, where there's moving charge, there's a magnetic field.
So now we have an electric field and a magnetic field.
According to the Poynting vector, we get an energy flow.
But this cross product means the flow has to be perpendicular to both fields.
The flow of charge is the same direction as the electric field,
which can't be the same as the flow of energy.
According to Poynting, the energy cannot flow in the same direction as the charge.
Wait, what?!
Exactly!
When I realized this, it broke all my intuitions about circuits,
but here's what everything looked like when I put it all back together.
If we zoom in one of the wires a little,
we've got a strong electric field inside moving the current along
and a little electric field outside.
We also have a magnetic field inside and outside.
Using the Poynting vector, we get an energy flow toward the center of the wire.
The energy comes from the field outside the wire!
Wait! Didn't you say earlier the energy comes from the battery?
Yeah, but it happens indirectly.
Inside the battery, the electric field points the opposite way,
but the magnetic field points the same way.
If we look at the battery the same way we did the wire,
the energy flows out of the battery and into the field.
So the energy the wires and the light bulb gain from the field
is the same amount of energy the battery loses to the field.
The energy flow in this circuit looks like this.
It's cray cray!
It doesn't even matter if it's AC or DC.
With alternating current, or AC, the current just moves back and forth
because the electric field keeps switching direction,
but so does the magnetic field.
If this changes direction and so does this, the two effects cancel.
The energy flow maintains its direction.
Even in an AC circuit, the energy flow is out of the source and into the devices.
How can that possibly be?
Aren't AC generators, like, miles away?
Yeah, but that's totally fine.
Remember these fields are everywhere and affected by all charges everywhere.
The energy coming out of a power source
doesn't have to be the same energy going into your devices.
Conservation of energy just says they have to be the same amount.
If you calculate the amount of energy flow across the surface of this wire.
You will get exactly what we'd expect for the power lost to heat and light.
So how does the energy actually flow in a circuit?
The energy that makes a circuit work comes from the fields around it.
A source of energy like a battery just replenishes what gets used
and all the electric current does is provide the mechanism we need to make the energy flow.
So, are you as mind blown as me right now?
Please share in the comments.

And until next time, remember, it's OK to be a little crazy.
The featured comment comes from "space is where we belong to!" who asked:
Is wind just a little nudge to get the coil spinning?
No no, we're not creating perpetual motion machines.
The induced current actually resists the motion of the coil.
Without the continued push from the wind, the coil almost immediately stops.
Anyway, thanks for watching.

DraftKings Sued For Irregularities In Their National Championship Betting Contest - Duration: 8:11.
Well, football season might be drawing to a close and I know a lot of people aren't
necessarily happy with how this year's football season ended, but nonetheless it's drawing
to a close and now we can start betting on basketball and then betting on baseball, betting
on hockey, betting on anything because we have places like DraftKings available to let
us just bet on any sport we want.
But recently DraftKings actually held this national championship of betting, were people
who wanted to enter had to pay $10,000 and according to a new lawsuit brought by some
of the people who participated in this national championship of betting, DraftKings wasn't
clear about the rules and essentially if I'm reading this correctly, wanted to almost kind
of rig it to where people couldn't necessarily qualify for their $1,000,000 grand prize.
Joining me now to help add a little bit of clarity to this story is Scott Hardy from
topclassactions.com.
Scott lay this DraftKings story out for us.
Their, their national championship of betting.
A weird thing if you ask me, but you know, people are into things, whatever.
But they weren't exactly on the level with the people who paid $10,000 to partake in
this, were they?
No, that's, when we're taking a look at this class action and of course e-gaming and electronic
gaming has taken a whole new level when it comes with the Internet where they're having
tournaments for video games all over the world.
I know that now even the farming simulator guys are sponsoring a tournament, was suppose
to giveaway over a quarter million dollars in prizes for simulating driving farming machinery
and operating a virtual farm.
So it makes sense that if you can get paid for winning a virtual farm challenge, that
the DraftKings and the millions and hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars that they
bring every year, that they would go ahead and sponsor a tournament.
But as you said, it was a big buy in.
$10,000 bucks to buy in.
$5,000 of that goes in to your betting pool and that's what you're judged on and the bets
that you place and DraftKings has come out and said, listen, you know, we didn't have
actual physical judges in place to say that bet A is better than better B, it's all on
a computer.
It's all computer.
It's an algorithm.
You know those decisions are made through that.
That's where we have no fault and picking the big winner if the computer does it.
But the issue is that you had person A place, a bet that was essentially the same bet as
person B and person B might have gotten more credit for it and so even though they've made
the same bet or they bet the same amount of money or darn close to it, one might've gotten
the extra points for this competition while the other one didn't.
And because there were no actual published rules of if you bet this amount and you win,
you get x number of points, because everything was arbitrarily based on rules that DraftKings
made up and didn't actually show the participants.
That's where this class action comes into play is if I'm going to be in a competition,
I want to know how to win it, but if I'm just giving you $10,000 and making my bets, but
I don't even know how to actually win it, that seems awfully unfair.
You know it, it almost reminds me of they wanted to do this big grand thing.
They weren't exactly sure how to execute it.
So they make this algorithm and the algorithm essentially acts like a group of, of elementary
school children playing kickball.
You know, if I kick it this far over that way, then it automatically just get to run
to second base and then I go to third and then home and I win.
I skipped, I skipped first.
But if you kick it over there, you have to run to first base twice in order to even make
up for it.
You know, there's no real clear set of rules.
Kind of making it up as they go, and it ultimately hindered the people's ability to understand
and make bets in order to win the game here, the competition, the championship that they
were having.
And in addition to this algorithm, you know, putting more weight on one person's bet versus
another, even though they made the exact same bet, also some bets weren't even counted.
Some bets didn't even go towards it.
They were disqualified and the people had no way of knowing whether or not a bet they
were placing was even going to count towards whatever point system was in place here.
And this is pretty significant considering you had to pay $10,000 just to participate.
You would think with that kind of buy in, you would at least be given some kind of pamphlet
that says, hey, here's how to play instead of just, all right, go make your bets.
Good luck.
We don't even know how it's gonna turn out.
Which seems to be the case with his DraftKings championship.
Exactly.
I mean, you only have $5,000 to play with here and that's what you're, that's what's
going to last you through the entire tournament.
And you need to make a whole lot of money off of that.
So it's frankly insulting as a player, if I'm making bets and I think I'm following
the rules and then I just threw away my money at a bet that doesn't even count, win or lose
or, or not, that doesn't matter at all.
And if I made a substantial amount of money or, or bet a substantial amount of money on
that bet and it's just thrown out and you know, that could go ahead and make me lose
the entire tournament through their who knows arbitrary point system, and I'm just out.
You know, ah, at least I put it in that $10,000, put in that $10,000 fee, and now what?
It's, it's a really, really flawed system.
And we've seen a lot of arguments both in the comments as well as across the web as
other news sources have been covering this and sports betting is a huge, huge business.
And the, the folks that are making these sports best are very engaged.
So you know, they're not going to give up easily and they're not going to be quiet if
they think that they were potentially screwed out of their money and their potential to
win a million dollars.
Right, and over the last few years, you know, the, these groups like DraftKings and some
of the other ones, they have taken off, you know, crazy.
You know, they, they make tons of money.
They have tons of users.
They've also several times over the last few years kind of been the target of different
lawsuits for not always being on the up and up.
So if you're the kind of person that, that does enjoy this kind of betting, you like
the competition of it, you enjoy it, you know, by all means continue to do it.
Just make sure that whatever you do, you're reading, the rules, you're reading, the terms
of use, you're understanding what you're getting into because you know, these companies, they
don't always know what they're doing, but they do know that at the end of the day, their
biggest goal is to turn a profit, not to protect the users.
If you need more information about this particular case, you can check out the link in the description
of this video, head on over the topclassactions.com and sign up for their newsletter where you
can get all of the information to help protect you as a consumer, Scott Hardy with topclassactions.com.
Thank you very much for talking with us today.
You're welcome.

Negative Imperative Sentence - Duration: 1:38.
Hi I'm Won!
Today, you will learn -지 말다 which negative imperative sentence
It is used when you want to tell somebody not do something
If you are speaking to somebody formally, you will most likely hear -지 마세요
If you are speaking to somebody informally, you will most likely hear -지 마
These are the most common form
So 가지 말다(not go) would be
가지 마세요 or 가지 마, right?
You can see many of the sign that using negative imperatives sentence in usually
For example,
in front of the work in the museum,
"Don't touch the picture" 그림을 만지지 마세요
and in the restaurant,
"Don't smoke" 담배를 피우지 마세요
You can see a lot of like this phrases in a public places in Koran
Let's keep look at some examples!
Don't sit down 앉지 마!
앉지 마!
Don't go out 나가지 마세요
나가지 마세요
Don't go home 집에 가지 마
집에 가지 마
Don't be shy 부끄러워 하지 마세요
부끄러워 하지 마세요
Now, you can make a negative command, right?
If you have a plan to come to Korea,
it would be better to remember this lesson!

Do you think this helmet makes me look stupid?
No.
You
You look totally awesome.
The sea is alive...
with the sound of
Your Death!!!!
Holy Crap!
Oh my dearest, whom I love with all my heart!
now that I had destroyed your house
I must go back and marry the man I originally ran away from
to make more babies
because reasons
or maybe you could just... not do that
You mean stay?
Yeah I mean it took them like what two years to finally find us here.
We could just move inland and they'd probably never find us.
Oh! Okay! Yeah let's do that!
This is a trident!
Don't count the points...
It's... it's a trident!
And you're going to learn how to use it!
Until you do..
Your name is, Shark Bait!
Shark Bait Ooo Ha Ha!
Help him!
He's trapped!
You can't leave him like this!
I'm not leaving anyone!
I'm taking you to jail!
I'm very disappointed in you, son.
I'm gonna need that knife back.
Arthur!
You are being tried for being our mother's first born...
and not caring about our fish ways.
What say you?
I said, What say you?!
I say here fishy fishy fishy!
What the?
Ah! Oh my gosh!
There's too many of them!
What is this place?
It's the ring of fire, Shark Bait!
Shark Bait Ooo Ha Ha!
Hold on! I'm gonna crash us in the lava!
There. Now they'll think we're dead.
Quick! Hide in this whale!
Oh man! They crashed in the lava!
They must be dead!
Well did somebody check the tracking device?
Oh yeah!
Hey it says they're inside that whale right now.
Freeze, Sucka!
Awe Man!
I'm just a dude trying to do what's right.
and if that's not good enough
Then screw you!
If you can take the trident from Atlan's grip...
then you shall be worthy of..
Don't worry. I got this.
What the?!
Because I'm Batman!
Hey hey, Chase! What's up?
Been a long time!
No! No! No! No! No!
I do not accept this!
Well you kept telling that squid monster thing how much you were a nobody...
So I figured...
I'll just take it.
You stole my victory, Bruce!
Hey. What's up?
I'm Batman.
You wanna know my secret identity?
Uh... is it Bruce?
Oh. You heard him say that, did you?
This is outrageous!
You can not wield the trident!
Oh yes I can!
Did you not hear me at the waterfall?
Why are you wearing those clothes?
Did you take them off of a dead person?
Well he obviously didn't need them anymore.
Isn't that like grave robbing?
Oh so if i do it, it's rude.
But if aquaman does it...
It's totally cool.
Yeah!
Just give me back my trident.
The Ocean Master must be stopped!
What for?
Superman can handle it.
Yeah I got this! No worries.
Atlantis! Arise!
Your helmet is stupid!
I knew it!
See?
Justice League bro!
Yeah I thought we started something here.
You can't just be going rogue on us now!
Yeah. Where's Diana?
Where's Flash? Where's Cyborg?
Uh.. I don't know.
Having their own adventures.
Look I'm not going rogue!
I'm having my own origin story.
That also takes place after our team up story.
Nobody wants that!
Justice League, Man!
Hey Hey Aquaman!
Nice one!
You must be so proud!
Se what I mean?
They're devastated!
Could it be that maybe you guys are just a teeny bit jealous?
Whaaaat? No! What! We're not Jealous!
What would we ever have to be jealous about?
That everyone expected Aquaman to be lame!
And I made it look Epic! And Exciting!
No! That's not.. That's great!
Or is it that I single handedly made over a billion dollars?
No!
A Billion Dollars! Congratulations.
So happy for you.
Oh I know what it is.
There's really no need to explore this.
It's because both my parents...
Are still alive.
How dare you!
And their name's aren't Martha.
Ooooh It's True! Oh it hurts!
It's true!
Why would you say that?
I lost both my dads!
We both don't have our parents!
I still have a mom!
Kind of.
But Aquaman has both of them!
It's so not fair!
Yeah!
Permission to come aboard?
AAGH! Too sexy!
EEGH Too Sexy!
AAAGHAAA Too Sexy!

Is Yoga Garbage? - Farsi Iranian Persian Video - Duration: 4:30.
Hi, my name is Shiva Trigg
I am a personal trainer in the United States of America.
Today, I want to talk about yoga.
Yoga is a name Indians gave a type of exercise.
But today, I want to tell you if I think if yoga is a good exercise.
If it is good for you to spend your time doing yoga
or if it is better for you to do something else.
You see in my hand, I have something pink
The name for this is a "yoga mat."
Meaning it is a thing they sell people for $20 so you can
put it on the floor so you can lay down on the yoga mat when you want to exercise.
In the USA, yoga is really big.
Boys in the USA do yoga, but more girls like yoga.
If you go into a city, you will see, for example, after going to work
girls have grabbed their yoga mats and wore their tight pants
and they are going to yoga class.
Yoga is something that in the USA, is very group-oriented.
There are a lot of classes and a lot of places you can go to do different types of yoga.
But, if you know yoga, you can do it in your own house, alone.
If anyone likes to go to yoga class, I don't want to tell them not to go.
Whatever you like to do in your own life, go and do it.
But, if you want to know my thought is that yoga is not better than other types of exercise.
Yoga is good for some things.
For example, yoga is good if you want to sit for a little bit, not talk, think, and stretch your muscles a little
yoga is good for those types of tasks.
If you have a lot of time in your day, you don't have work,
you like to waste your time, yes, sit for three hours and do yoga.
If you want to do something to make you feel better
you can, for example, go on a 30-minute walk
Or you can go do something similar to some of the other videos I put up
exercises to build your muscles
Now I know, some people say yoga is really good because you can build muscle
And yes, there are some types of yoga are good because you can
for example, straighten how you stand
Yoga is good for some things, for example
if you always hold your bag on one side, and you do this
and you walk a little bit crooked,
yoga may be good
But, there are other ways for you to straighten your muscles
and straighten your body
If you want to decrease your weight
if you think you are fat
yoga is not going to help you.
I see, some of these people that are going to yoga classes are fat
If you want to lose weight, if you think you are fat,
yoga is not the best exercise.
If you want to lose weight, first you have to eat less food.
Second, you have to do something to increase your body temperature.
If someone does nothing, doesn't exercise,
only sits, doesn't walk, doesn't go anywhere, doesn't use his or her body
for this person, if he or she starts yoga, is better than nothing.
For this reason, I don't want to say yoga is really bad.
But, if you can do something other than yoga, it may be better.
If for you, breathing is hard, yoga is really good because
you can slowly improve your breathing.
Some people say yoga is good for your heart
If you are upset about something, and if you sit and do yoga,
maybe it will help ease your thinking/clear your mind.
If you don't have time for yoga, it is okay.
Go for a walk
Go do another exercise
Do you know how to do yoga?
Do you walk? Do you run? Do you ride a bike? Do you swim?
Do you do weight lifting? Do you want to build your muscles?
Do you want to lose weight?
All of these questions are important to see if yoga is right or not right for you.
Thanks for watching this video!

Juche Lessons: Creativity - Duration: 10:37.
Hey, I am comrade Shane and this is Juche Lessons.
Welcome to The Communist Current.
If you are new to this channel, please hit subscribe, as we put out new videos weekly.
Today we will be discussing Creativity, another essential feature of man, the social being.
Mankind has independence and also creativity and thus is fundamentally different from all
other materials.
Mankind is a being with creativity, so they are a creative social being.
General Secretary Kim Jong Il once said.
"Creativity is an attribute of social man who transforms the world and shapes his destiny
purposefully and consciously."
By virtue of their creativity, mankind transforms nature and society to be more useful and beneficial
to them by changing the old and creating the new.
Creativity is, first of all, a quality of a social being who transforms the things and
phenomena in the surrounding world actively and purposefully in conformity with their
desire and interest, which are prepared by their independent ideological consciousness.
Man approaches the surrounding world not passively but actively, and acts not blindly but purposefully
from the independent desire and interest not to be subordinated but to dominate.
Perhaps me saying this will cause some people doubt, in view of wondering whether animals
digging caves and building nests with twigs and leaves of trees creative activity.
Of course, that doubt is reasonable because monkeys and chimpanzees get food by using
stones and sticks and beavers build embankments to protect their places by cutting trees.
But such activities of animals can never be considered creative in terms of Juche philosophy.
This is because, if their activity was a expression of their creativity (which remember develops
to ever higher levels in mankind through a socio-historic process), the methods of their
activities should be qualitatively changed and developed according to conditions and
circumstances with the passage of time.
Animals that had dug caves thousands or tens of thousands of years ago are now still digging
caves to live and the animals that had made nests long time ago are now doing the same
continuously.
Monkeys too have used stones and sticks for their living for many years, but they have
not developed the tools beyond this qualitative level.
This means that animals activities are not creative.
But man is fundamentally different from this.
Of course, people sometimes use the natural circumstances and living materials of the
surrounding world.
But often, even in this case, they change and remake the structures, forms and characteristics
in conformity with their interests and demands.
People abolish or change the unfavorable or unnecessary living conditions in their favor.
They build embankments or change the flow direction of rivers in order to prevent flood
damage.
Since they change and remake structures, forms and characteristics of things and phenomena
in the surrounding world, they possess the capability to dominate the surrounding world.
Creativity is also a quality to make new things.
People not only change and remake things and phenomena in the surrounding world but also
create new things that do not exist in ready-made forms in the surrounding world.
They are not satisfied with the given things in nature and continuously create new things,
according to the independent desire of the people.
It is the most important characteristic of the creative activity of mankind is that they
do not confine themselves to the partial changing and remaking of the given things but create
new things that do not exist in ready-made forms in the surrounding world.
What I just said, should not to be interpreted to mean that people create materials which
do not exist in the world but rather that they create things that have completely different
quality by using materials.
Modern information equipment such as robots and computers which replaces hard labor of
people with automatic machines, and the material and mental wealth necessary for the living
conditions are products of the creative activity of the people.
By their creative activity, mankind makes new things and artificial things which can
not be made by nature itself and thus continuously expands the scope of domination of the surrounding
world along with the development of the essential attributes through a socio-historic process.
So, to reiterate, mankind not only changes and remakes the things and phenomena in the
surrounding world actively and purposefully but also makes new things, thus showing man,
the social being, has creativity.
The quality to remake and change things and phenomena in the surrounding world and to
make new things are linked with each other as the contents of creativity and is manifested
in human activities to transform the world in a unified way.
Scientific and technical knowledge is the basic factor to define the essential attribute
of creativity.
Scientific and technical knowledge is a social consciousness that reflects the essence of
things and phenomena, the law of motion and methods to apply it.
Mankind can conduct creative activity to abolish the old and create the new because they have
scientific and technical knowledge.
Of course creative activity of man is connected with experience and function, skills and physical
strength.
But practical experience, function and skills do not play a more decisive role than scientific
and technical knowledge in the creative activity of mankind.
Furthermore, physiological ability and physical strength of man are, themselves only the material
basis and guarantee for their creative activity.
The main thing in determining creative activity of mankind is the scientific and technical
knowledge.
Because of the continuous development of scientific and technical knowledge, the creative ability
of man develops more and more.
Mankind can conduct activity creatively and fully display creativity with the continuous
development of scientific and technical knowledge.
What is important here is the fact that scientific and technical knowledge can not be considered
the same as creativity, but rather is closely interrelated to it.
Creativity is the concept to characterize the creative activity man makes with scientific
and technical knowledge.
On the other hand, scientific and technical knowledge is the fundamental guarantee that
enables mankind to have creativity and is the proof that they have creativity.
This should be made clear.
As the saying goes "knowledge is power", mankind is the most powerful being in the
world and will be a complete master of the world with continuous development of their
creative ability.

I Am A Steward Season 1 – Joe Valente – Steward of My Motivations - Duration: 2:12.
So, as an entrepreneur,
the reason people like me do what we do,
the reason we get into this at all
is because we like being in control,
and we like having something that is ours,
building something that we own.
So, to be a steward and realizing that all of this
is not ours, that it's God's, that he owns it all,
that we're just taking care of it,
we're managing it, we're building it,
developing it and improving it for somebody else
is sort of counterintuitive and counter cultural.
But, at the same time, it also means that all of the risk,
and all the responsibility and all of the pressure to perform
and all of the endless striving for the next thing is pointless.
It all goes away if you're a steward
because it's not yours; it's not your responsibility.
So, for me, stewardship is all about motive that's it.
It's not a difference in the performance.
It's not a difference in the outcome.
It's, why do you do what you do?
If I'm just doing it because it's mine,
then that just means I'm a jerk.
But, if we're just giving because we're getting,
then we're interrupting that cycle.
So, for me, working hard and doing my best
is not opposed to this whole idea of stewardship.
It's the reason we do it. Why do I do what I do?
Do I work hard and do I do my best
just because I'm going to benefit from it?
Or do I do that because I'm a steward
and I'm accountable to somebody else?
By definition, being a steward
means that you do not have ownership,
that you don't possess whatever it is
that you're a steward of.
It's been given to you. It's a gift.
It's something that somebody else bestowed on you.
I am a steward because it's not mine.

Favourite YouTube Channels, New Art Books, Supplies + More - Duration: 15:50.
Hi my loves! I hope you are all well. As the title suggests, today I wanted to
share some of the things I have been loving recently. I've done videos like
this in the past where I've done like hauls and favourites but with this one, I
wanted to have less of a focus on things- like things that you need but don't
really need- and more of a focus on things of real value, or things I
consider to be of real value anyway, and maybe spotlight some talented creators
and I don't know a share some things of real inspiration I think you guys would
love. So to start with, I'm going to do the biggest category and that is
some youtubers that I really enjoy watching.
Now I'm not gonna mention anyone that I have mentioned before, but will have a
pinned comment down at the bottom, just of all of my favourite YouTubers
who I've mentioned in the past and, then anything else that I mention in
this video will be linked in the description along with timestamps for
you to be able to skip along to your heart's content. But we'll start
out with the category on art education. There are so many fantastic
teachers on this platform with their own areas of expertise and their own varying
points of view and approaches and I think it's really important to diversify
the amount of lessons and just the different types of information that we
take in. So I recently discovered this video (literally yesterday) in my
suggested called 'How Social Media is Ruining your Art' and it's by a creator
called Adam Duff and he- I mean- I quickly
realised on discovering his channel, an incredible teacher. He's a really
knowledgeable, also really down-to-earth guy and he has this wealth of lessons on
his channel for aspiring artists and also for any professionals in that field.
'Well you're an artist...'
'You're providing to your audience something of quality. Quality
takes time, quality takes concentration, quality requires trial and error, so if
you are gonna keep up with that rat race then you have a choice. You can either
wait, take your time...'
If nothing else, I think you guys should all watch this
social media video because it rings true to a comment that I get so much on this
channel from people who feel like they're discouraged by the lack of
attention that their work is getting on social media. This video really spoke to
me and I think it's just such an important thing for all of us especially
in this age of making art and posting it on the Internet. Another fantastic artist
and teacher who dedicates their time to sharing their knowledge on this platform
for free is Marco Bucci. He posts maybe once a month but it's such important,
fundamental stuff and broken down in a way that's so easy to digest and so easy
to go and practice straightaway. I just feel like there is so much that you can
learn from him. I know I said I wasn't gonna mention people that I have
mentioned before but I just had to give a shout out to Robin Sealark.
I love her videos, I find her so fun and captivating. She has a real free
approach to art, also a real discipline and a commitment to improving and
sharing that with her audience. 'Now I want to compartmentalize my time better
and make sure I'm being well-rounded in finding meaning in a lot of areas of my
life and making new goals....' She likes to
approach things as a challenge. She's not afraid to pinpoint things that she wants
to change or improve in her art and she really encourages that in her viewers
and I just always find I leave her videos wanting to go and make something.
Jared does some really fantastic gouache and watercolor demos that are so calming
and relaxing to watch that you don't even realize that you're learning as you
go along. There's a level of understanding behind everything he does
which he explains so clearly as he goes along but he's also not afraid of
imperfection and trying things even if he's not sure if that's the way to go.
Now I know nothing about oil painting but this is what I mean when I say that
we need to diversify the sources of information that we have because there
is so much of value, there's so much that is relevant to me on Andrews
channel. He is insanely talented but he's also very open to
sharing the process behind his art and also the journey he's taken to get to
the level of talent he's got right now. You know, rather than that myth of just
naturally being good, you can see the practice and the work that he's put in
and the years. And I also just love his videos
to see all those beautiful landscapes that he surrounds himself in. Another oil
painter, Cynthia hasn't posted in a little while but she has a really great
backlog of videos that hold so much value. She's another one that just seems
so real, so down-to-earth, and also very transparent with her process and the
thought behind her work. '...and that way, you can see exactly what your lights and
darks are doing without the color. Ultimately you still want your piece to
be readable either way so let's do that here, let's take a look at how this
painting breaks down when it's converted to greyscale...' She just strikes me as
someone that has a really kind heart and it also really knows what they're
talking about. Alright, next category is studio vlogs.
I know you guys love seeing behind the scenes of artists and I personally love
seeing how that day-to-day varies so much from one artist to another. Right
I've been watching Joy for ever and I am constantly in awe of the amount of work
that she puts in around her job, her constant innovation and creativity, the
products that she's making, the storytelling, her art style... just
everything she does- I'm just in love! I find her so relatable and hers are the
type of video that I save for when I really need that kick up the butt to get
productive and get some work done. She really spurrs me on to want to make
things. Catherine is another insanely hard worker. I love seeing the behind the
scenes of how she creates and sells her products from coming up with
the concepts and actually creating them and then getting them up for sale,
photographing them... all of that! She's so transparent with that process and I
think that's so useful for aspiring artists and illustrators. She really
shows the realness and the hard work that goes in behind the scenes of being
an artist. Plus she has the most infectious personality, she is like the
embodiment of a ray of sunshine. Okay random fact that's kind of boring but I
love names that end in 'ica', like Erica, Monica, Danica... so I loved Sarica's channel
even before I'd watched her videos. But I discovered her during vlogmas
and she's another one of those people that really draws you in with a warm and
welcoming personality. She's also crazy talented, she mainly does journaling
videos which I know you guys will love, but I also really enjoyed her vlogmas
as well again seeing that behind the scenes of what she does and
how she creates products and stuff like that. Another channel I find really
motivating even though it's in a different kind of art area to what I
would normally be into, that being like conventions and OCs and stuff like
that, is trickywagon. It's another great and different perspective into the
life of a freelancer and products they make and their process and obstacles and
again another really relatable and down-to-earth creator.
Okay the last of my favorite YouTube channels are less art specific but more
channels I turn to for that creative boost and inspiration. It's really great
to consume different media and find inspiration in different places than
just pure art. So the first one is kind of art-related. It is the Baumgartner
Restoration channel. You probably have seen this in your suggested, I've
seen his channel like skyrocket since I subscribed I think he's gained about
200,000 subscribers in like the last month but for good reason. This guy, he
just really carefully and beautifully restores these old paintings he does his
videos just with sound, with the sounds of his studio and the work he's doing
but he also will then re-do the video with a voiceover and you get to hear
just the intricacies of that process I just find it's so fascinating and so
immersive to watch. I just love this channel- the main reason I'm making this
video is because I wanted to mention this channel- I would really
recommend at least watching one of these videos because there's a real art
to it. Okay similar in the creative and
peaceful use of sound is this channel that I can't pronounce. It's a vlog
channel, mainly focused on food I find. There's also a really cute puppy.
But yes, kind of just day-to-day life, no talking, just that ambient noise and- I
don't know- I find it really calming, beautifully shot and great sound
design. Nowness is an interesting one. I don't watch all their videos, I think
they posted every day so some of them are a bit hit-and-miss for me, but I do
like the way they produce their videos. I like just seeing different
artists and different areas and different crafts. I really like
this series that they have that's called In Residence where you get to go inside
of the most beautiful and unique houses and just hear them being spoken about in
a way that's so poetic. The videos just in general are short and artsy and for
some reason, they always just make me feel like I want to create.
And finally, and a little bit of a random one, is fairyland cottage which is a
channel that is kind of about living more sustainably, making things yourself,
respecting and being more a part of nature and relaxing and slowing down and
being more mindful. Niamh has the most calming and warm personality, the most
gorgeous voice and accent, the way the videos are shot is lovely... it's
like a warm bubble bath, watching her videos. Or- I don't know- a hot drink on a
really cold day. Okay, so next we're onto books. The first thing I wanted to
mention is the one I mentioned I think in my 'getting my life together' blog
where I was talking about setting new goals for the year in small achievable steps.
The book is called 'One small step could change your life, the Kaizen
way' it's by Robert Mauer and it's a really concise ,quite succinctly
written, a quick and easy read. Just easy to digest, easy to take actionable steps
afterwards which I always like in those kinds of self-help books and I think
it's a great one for this time of year where we're all looking to
have a fresh start and improve in some way. It's really helped me reevaluate how
I approached my goals and I'm feeling a lot more capable this year and a lot
more hopeful to really take those steps one tiny little increment at a time to
becoming the person I want to be. Okay so JAW Cooper is an artists I'm sure
you all have heard of or at least seen some of her art. She has this beautiful,
fluid, quite natural style that's also- it can be quite almost disturbing, quite
gross and distorted at times. It's just this gorgeous combination of the
grotesque and the beautiful and she recently came out with a collection of
books compiling her recent work. I got this one. This is
Visera. There's a collection of the three books. I really
wanted to get my hands on all of them, this is the only one that I could get my
hands on at that time. And yeah it's just full of really beautiful quality images
of her work, her sketches, some finished paintings and it's a great insight into
her mind as an artist, and it just feels like such an honour to be able to see
that side and be able to see the background behind some pieces of art
that I'm sure you would have seen before. It's a book that I find myself
constantly reaching for when I need that visual stimulation and just a great
snapshot into the mind of an artist- a really talented artist. And in general,
it's just a really beautiful quality art book. So the next book is a book I
received in my PO Box a couple of days ago and this is Book Love by Debbie
Tung. I've already read it front to back, it's basically a collection of comics
about the love of books. I know you guys will love this. Just really
quirky and funny and relatable little comics about bookworms and book life
struggles. The next one is one that's been in my Amazon wishlist for so
long just because it's one that I constantly see being recommended by
professional artists as a kind of guide to get you started in the freelance
world and it's 'How to be an illustrator' by Darrel Rees sent to me by Polo so
thank you so much Polo and thank you for everything! I know I say it a lot but
really, it means so much to have your support. It's been constant and just
unwavering so thank you. And thank you for this, I can't wait to give it a
proper read. I've had a good skim through it and it's just it seems so full of
really useful information so if you guys are looking for kind of a guide to how
to be a professional in this field then I would really recommend this book. So
since we are now on the topic of my PO Box, I will do a few little bits and bobs
I've received over the last few months. It's been a little while since I've done
a PO box unboxing and the main reason for that is with the move and everything
going on, I've got a lot of stuff here there and everywhere. I also would really-
if you do send me anything please give me a way to contact you either
through email or through Instagram because I don't get to show everything
and I would love to be able to send you a message at least to say
thanks. But to start off with, really striking print from Julie Celina,
it's just gorgeous colours, fantastic work. She also sent some of the most detailed
pencil work I've ever seen and this gorgeous original painting of me which
was such a fantastic treat so thank you so much Julie Celina. I will have links as
always to anyone I mentioned in this video, I know you guys will love having a
proper look at these people and their work, so please do go and spread the love
and show them the same support that they've shown to me. Next up is this
really awesome print from Nastasia of an artichoke. I love this graphic style, I
also love the paper that it's printed on. I just- there's something
about the simplicity of this and the use of line weight that just really speaks
to my soul, so thank you so much for this Nastasia! I've got some really cool work
from Faye who was written before so thanks so much for getting back in touch.
Her artwork has just come leaps and bounds since she last messaged me so I'm
so impressed and so proud, it just really looks like she's been consistently
working on improving her art and it really really shows. Even the envelope
that she sent the letter in is beautifully adorned so thanks so much
Faye, lovely to hear from you again. I also received this inktober zine from
Buzzy and a great letter to go along with it. It's always lovely to hear from
you Buzzy so thank you! I love the theme of this zine and just the quality of
work is really something special so thank you! Also got these stickers
from Deandra. These are so cute, you guys have got to go and check out her-
I'll leave her Instagram, I think she has an Etsy shop as well- you've gotta go and
see if you can get your hands on some of these stickers because they're awesome.
And thank you so much for your letter Deandra, I love the little doodles on
here as well. And finally, something I've been really waiting to share with you
guys; I was so lucky to get my hands on Mel Chadwicks little collection of
Porthleven sketches. So this is like a book of postcards made up of some
drawings that she did of the town I believe that she was living in at the
time, I don't know if she still lives there. Mel I watch on YouTube anyway so it was
so amazing to just receive this out of the blue. I'll leave a link to her
channel below. She does great vlogs as well and just beautiful artwork. I love
the style, I love her use of water and line as well so I'm so grateful to
have these. I kind of wanna send them out to people as
postcards but I kind of also just want to keep them for myself. Another cool
thing in here is this 'ten ways to cultivate a sketchbook habit' little
pocket guide where she's got all these little tips illustrated as well. I just
think she's incredibly talented. She also does interviews with creators. Her
channel and her artwork in general are such fantastic resources and I
definitely would recommend that you check her out. But other than that, I
think that is it for this video. If you have any suggestions, any people that you
want to shout out down below, I would really love that. I think would be great
to use this comment section as a place to really share and promote the people
that we think deserve it. And as always make sure you check out the description
for any links to anything you might be interested in. Make sure you go out and
spread the love and I will see you soon for the next video. Bye!

I Am A Steward Season 1 – Jonathan Dysinger – Steward of My Business - Duration: 3:49.
When I was about 15, I had a challenge from Eliot Coleman
to developing a machine for harvesting baby lettuce.
So, I started working on that and spent about three years.
And with the help of an engineer
got a product that worked really well.
So, in the fall of 2012, when I was 18,
we started production. I started selling this
through Johnny's Selected Seeds in Maine.
They had estimated that we would sell maybe 150 units a year.
About two years in, Johnny's contacted me and said,
"We're going to have to discontinue
selling the product." And this was just a blow to me.
I remember sitting in my truck just kind of crying
because I felt like,
not only we were having financial problems,
but now our one and only customer dropped the product.
So, I felt like we failed. The business is going to close,
and it's just going to be another statistic.
So, from there, the business just took off
'cause we all of a sudden had –
we were selling directly to the customers,
and we had full retail price
that we were earning on each product.
We were able to develop a website
and start selling direct.
Then Johnny's was sending all the customers
that they had marketed to to us
'cause they were no longer selling it.
And it was just amazing to see how the Lord took
what I thought was a failure and turn it into a huge success.
So, a few things that we've done are,
we ship out thousands of packages every year.
So, we put GLOW tracts in all of our boxes
with every order that goes out.
Amazingly, had a lot of people contact us
and say how much they appreciated it.
The other thing that we do is since we're in retail,
we close our website on Sabbath.
So, from Friday night, actually 30 minutes before sunset,
all the way to 30 minutes after sunset on Saturday night,
our website is closed. And obviously,
lots of people come to the website during that time,
but it says very clear on the page
that you come to that the website is closed
because of our religious beliefs.
And if they want to click and go and read more, they can.
One thing that really affected my view of stewardship
and finances is, when I was 18 I read
the compilation Counsels on Stewardship.
And that was a big blessing to me
because it showed the dangers of financial success,
but it also showed that God created the system
of benevolence for our blessing.
So, if we are willing to be used as a channel of blessing
to those around us and to the world,
God will pour blessings onto our lives,
and that channel will just grow and grow and grow and grow.
I also made the decision to tithe our business profits.
And I can say I feel like the Lord has blessed
that decision tremendously.
It's kind of like the example of a pond,
if a pond doesn't have an outlet,
it just becomes kind of a stagnant, nasty, stinky pool.
But, if there's water flowing out,
and there's water flowing in, it stays very fresh.
And it will stay full.
It's the same with stewardship and the same with finances.
If we just horde our money, God cannot bless,
and it turns out to be a huge harm to us.
But, if we use it as a channel, God will resupply as we give.
And then it's a huge blessing to us.
Because, as human beings, there's nothing that blesses us
more than being a blessing to others.
I am a steward because God is my faithful guide.

I Am A Steward Season 1 – Justin Khoe – Steward of My Life - Duration: 3:55.
Church wasn't real. God wasn't real to me.
I mean, it was a place that we would go every single weekend,
but it didn't really actually impact my life.
To me, church was a place where the adults would do their thing,
and my role as a kid was just to sit down, to shut up,
and to not pester my brother for about an hour every single week.
Though one year when I was in the fifth grade,
I actually had a moment where it became a little bit more real.
The fairy tale came alive in my life.
I remember having a teacher in fifth grade
who just had this gift for making the Bible come alive,
and in that moment it completely shifted my worldview.
It shifted my focus. Like, God is real.
This does matter, and it should affect the way that I live my life.
But, all that came crashing to a halt very quickly
when I had my parents trying to challenge the way,
again, I was treating my younger brother.
Saying, "Justin, if you really are wanting
to live the Christian life,
maybe you shouldn't be so mean to your brother."
And as good as their intentions were in saying
those kinds of things to me, what I had heard was,
"Justin, you're not good enough.
You're not good enough to be calling yourself a Christian.
You're not good enough for God."
So, very quickly, I decided this isn't something
that I'm going to pursue my life with anymore.
And so, what had ended up happening
was that I decided that I would try and find other ways
to find fulfillment and joy and happiness in life.
I was going to try to pursue relationships or education
or sports or friends or whatever have you.
But, church and religion really had no part
in finding success and fulfillment in my life.
That all changed for me my senior year of high school,
where I ran into a group of other young people
in their late teens,
early 20s who were actually living an authentic
and real expression of Christianity.
These were young people who were taking their faith seriously
and who were actually living as if God were, in fact, real.
And what's interesting about them
was that they had answers to the questions
I was struggling with in life.
I was struggling to find purpose and meaning,
trying to find happiness.
And they were opening up the Bible and showing the Bible
had real answers to the real questions
and dilemmas that I was facing.
So, that moment in time really kind of shook me to my being,
and it was then that I decided
that this was what I wanted my life to be about.
Because God is real that should affect
how I live every moment of my life.
And I decided to commit myself to full-time ministry.
I got involved as a literature evangelist going door to door,
eventually started doing Bible work,
preaching evangelistic crusades all around the world.
And then eventually got called to teach
at a Bible college in Philadelphia,
and presently I run a digital missions.
For me, I'm committed to use things
like social media and technology to spread the message.
I believe that technology is one of the best ways
that we can actually spread the gospels.
I remember reading a study by Wall Street Journal
saying that the average millennial spends
over 18 hours a day behind some screen
in one way, shape, or form.
And so, for me, every single day
I'm focused on creating content on YouTube,
on making videos that help young people experience God
for themselves.
And what's really amazing about this platform
is that I get to speak to people
from, literally, around the world,
from so many different backgrounds and religions
and world views, whether they're Christian or atheist
or they're Buddhist or Muslim or Jewish
or even gay or straight.
Or maybe they're like me as a young person,
just asking the question, is God real?
Does God really care about me?
And so, why am I a steward? Because God is real.

I Am A Steward Season 1 – Nye Simmons – Steward of my Finances - Duration: 3:08.
Living in New York City is a really tough place.
It's expensive. It's crowded.
I think money plays a role in everyone's life,
but in New York City, it's such a huge focus here.
It's the financial capital of the world.
You know, the money that you make determines so many things,
you know, determines where you live, what you do,
even who you hang out with in some cases.
And I find it ironic that this is the place where I discovered
to systematically give my money away.
For me, that journey really began about three years
into my stay in New York. It was 2011.
I was attending a small group Bible study with some friends.
And it wasn't just like a Bible study, it was a coming together.
Sometimes we would read different books,
but a lot of times it was just fellowshipping
and building community. So, talking with each other,
finding out about how our weeks' went.
I remember vividly one of my friends
kind of venting about how she had a bunch of friends
who were able to go on expensive trips
and buy that expensive purse or those shoes.
And she was saying, "I could do the same thing,
but I'm giving ten percent of my income to church."
It was just interesting because she wasn't upset about it.
She didn't have any remorse. She didn't regret doing it,
and for me it's just the things that she said.
She wasn't trying to convince anyone else
why they should do it.
She was just talking about her personal reasons.
And for me that was just really convicting.
And I just decided, I think it's something I want to do.
I want to start giving back my portion of my income to God.
So, I started taking ten percent of my paycheck
and giving it to church.
And I think one of the benefits that comes from this
is that I'm able to manage my finances so much better
knowing that I get a certain amount of income,
and then I'm immediately understanding and acknowledging
what I make and taking ten percent of that
and giving that away.
And then with that other 90 percent,
I am then allocating that to my expenses
and to the fun stuff I want to do
and to the stuff I want to save for.
And it's like I have been in a much better financial position
since I started giving away ten percent of my income.
I think the other thing is, at the end of the year,
I just feel good about it.
I look back and think, "Yeah, maybe I wasted money
on some new shoes, new computer, whatever it may be."
But, it's like I look back and realize ten percent
of my income for the whole year went to other people,
it went to a cause greater than myself.
And it puts a smile on my face thinking about that.
I am a steward because we serve a loving and gracious God.

I Am A Steward Season 1 – Kevin & Angelia – Steward of the Gospel Message - Duration: 3:10.
I'm a second generation beekeeper.
It wasn't always going to be like that.
I was going to actually become a commercial pilot
and go into the mission field.
I did get the commercial pilot's license.
But, due to some health concerns,
I ended up taking actually over the family farm.
So, for us, the beekeeping season,
it really starts in January
where we start hiring people
for the upcoming summer.
Yeah, for the upcoming season.
And then our busiest time is from May through all the way
to October where we are unwrapping the hives
and splitting and harvesting. It keeps us really busy.
Running our own business definitely
has its challenges from –
this spring we lost 40 percent of our hives,
and we had a lot of bear problems
and new diseases coming into our apiary
and becoming more prevalent.
Regardless of all of those challenges,
God has always been faithful.
He has provided what we needed right when we needed it,
and we are definitely thankful for that.
Really, we see that our mission field begins here at home,
and the workers that come, come from varying backgrounds.
And we really desire that our relationship with each other,
our relationship with God would spur
and inspire them to desire a deeper walk with God as well
when they have the experience of being here with us.
At breakfast time, something that I do
is read a devotional to start our day
with our workers there in the morning,
and it just sets the tone of committing our day to God
from the very start.
Sabbaths as well are something that we value so much
in the work that we do.
And we thank God that He has given us that time set apart
that we can have that change of pace and renewal in Him.
Just last year we decided to build a greenhouse
to extend the season of being able to grow produce,
not only for our own health
but also for being able to benefit others and –
Share the abundant crop that comes in.
Absolutely. Yeah. As farming entrepreneurs,
a lot of money comes in and goes out.
We have good years, bad years. We have made a commitment
to give faithfully to the Lord with tithe and offering.
We won't pretend it's always easy because some years
it does bring us to a tight place.
But, we have found the peace that God gives and the peace
that we can have in trusting Him
as we're faithful to what He's called us to.
We are stewards because God is faithful.
