Today I want to fill you in on a couple things you might find interesting and I have a couple personal requests.
Free online Permaculture Design Course
I found this on facebook and thought some of you would really enjoy it. It is an online, self-paced 72+ hour program. If you have any interest in permaculture this could be well worth taking. I hope it’s available when I have more free time.
Here are some of the items covered.
• Natural building construction
• Pattern observation and site analysis
• Renewable energy and appropriate technology
• Reading the land and natural cycles
• Rainwater harvesting and conservation
• Soil regeneration and land restoration
• Passive and active solar design
• Food forests, trees, and garden design
• Greywater considerations and system design
• Business and financial permaculture
• Waste recycling and treatment
• Urban permaculture for sustainable cities
If you take the course I would love some feedback!
I was contacted by the folks at Gainsville coins. They let me know about an info graphic they’ve created about junk silver. Junk silver is change that is usually pre-1965. They give lots of tips on how to spot it, how much it’s worth and so on.
Personal Update and Requests
I want to thank you for your prayers! The surgery went well and I am on the mend. I’ll be on crutches for another week or two but things seem to be healing nicely. While Trudee has been a huge blessing, I think we’re both ready for me to be done with the crutches.
New Website To Watch
Todd from The Prepper Website has started a new site called Top Prepper Sites. Unlike some of the other ranking sites that use Google and other analytics to measure traffic, this site’s rankings are purely visitor driven. If you think Prepared Christian is one of the best prepper sites, please take the time to vote for me whenever you read an article (you can vote more than once and the numbers reset each week). There will be a link at the bottom with the following request “Please click here to vote for Prepared Christian as a top Prepper site!”
Donations
My last topic isn’t something that is comfortable for me to bring up. I have been unemployed for some time now and unemployment insurance has run out. I’m having no luck getting back into my field.
The costs for maintaining this site used to be no problem. With finances getting even tighter I have a request; please prayerfully consider giving a portion of your tithe as a donation to Prepared Christian. There are two ways to give; by clicking on the donate button on the top left, or, if you would like to get something back for your money, you can join the Preparedness Club. The Preparedness Club offers discounts for nearly 20 preparedness business and each membership enters you in a drawing for a monthly prize! A 1 year membership is $40 and a monthly membership is $4.
Anything you give will be humbly appreciated.
I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Chris
