As my Grandma would say, "Looks like Sam done broke out the short britches today". Lol, she had a funny way of putting things. She grew up around the York SC area before the depression and used a lot of expressions like that. Luckily for me, she also knew the Lord and took me to church, where I heard about God's salvation plan. Praise the Lord for God fearing Grandma's. Nice video and message Sam.

[@tristardiggin]

Grandma would be right, I done broke out the short britches! Wow, it’s hot around here.🥵🥵🥵 I love those old time expressions. Amen on the God fearing Grandmas… Thanks and God Bless

Such a good message at the end, as always. I hope you don’t change your format. I knew I could skip to the end to hear your words of wisdom, and now I’ll go back and watch the excavation work.

Thanks Jonathan, I appreciate that! Pretty pleased with this format. Folks seem to like it. There are others that skip to the message first as well. 🤣🤣🤣 God Bless

in your opinion what is a good ear protection to use on the heavy machinery??

[@tristardiggin]

The best would be full ear muffs. But many folks use ear plugs like the foam one. I generally use AirPods that have noise canceling. Thanks, Sam

[@spankywagner7740]

Father's Day, Sunday, June 16 Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." John 5:19. If we were told we could only do what we saw our fathers doing, what kind of life would that be? Sometimes, when are grow up, we seem to lose that closeness with our fathers that we had when we were children. I thank Jesus for listening to and mimicking His Father, God, and for teaching us we can be rich in mercy, patience, faith, love, and hope. Happy Father's Day, Sam, to you and your viewers. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe. (Go easy on the tripods🚜) Mike&Pat
