Happy Birthday Best Dad. I like this picture of him enjoying a cleansing ale out on the crofts block when it was pouring down rain.
*************
Don't wear a garment of cloth made with two different kinds of thread. (Leviticus 19:19).
I found this fascinating quote from the bible recently. Ive never seen or heard of it before. It seems that its trying to teach the wisdom in keeping things pure the way they are created. For example, not breading different animals together (mule). It also says don't mix crops etc.
Some people I eat with get enthralled in my eating habits. Some of them just watch but a few actually ask why I eat all the meat first, then the vegetables all separately. Its because I like to taste the food the way it has been created in its pure form. Not all mixed up like a cement mixer.
Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of woollen and linen together. Deuteronomy 22:11
As I have said before I am upgrading my wardrobe to only natural fibres. They just feel nice against my skin and I feel totally at home in them. I have a few items left that I will find hard to part with that are man made fibres or a mix of natural and man made.
As a 60s kid, it was drilled into me about man made fibre clothing, crimpolene ,polyester, terylene and nylon which were the new wave fabrics. I was fed storys about how accidents could happen with just a spark and horrific stories of kids with clothing melted into their skins because they went too close to fire. I didn't see any of those traumatic things but I knew from the start these clothes were light and dried quickly, but felt terrible on my skin and my body smelt bad when I wore them. Not to mention the static electricity which is still a problem for me today.
So what I am trying to say is that there is wisdom in what these two biblical verses are saying that I am putting into practice now.
