Yeah my plan is to repot them in some good soil, fertilize them with something better than what I'm using and start getting them used to the real sunlight, maybe a couple of hours in the early morning.

Nothing like spending $500 on a few peppers.

I know, right? I really don’t want to start calculating cost per pound. Although next year, it should mostly all be in the black. Fingers crossed.

You know, as I looked at fish emulsion and almost pulled the trigger on a $30 bottle, I decided to repot them in some good soil I already have and fertilize them with miracle grow I already have that has always worked very well with all my other stuff. I only used it once on these peppers and I used it at half the recommended strength being overly cautious. Thinking it over I believe thats when they did the best.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. It ain't gonna hurt, worst case scenario I'm right back here 2 weeks from now.

My stupit pepper plants haven't grown in almost a month. They look healthy and fine, just not growing. It's just weird to me.

Are they in pots or in the ground? The reason I ask is that pepper plants typically do much better when in ground or in a very large pot. Small to medium pots and growth will be slower.

Edit: I see now they are in cups. Put them in something a bit larger and you should see enough growth to put them in the ground.

If you'd read my last 2 posts you'd have seen I'm going to repot them, but they should have grown more than they have in those cups. Pepper Joe's were in smaller cups than those and we're 4" tall and had 8 leaves.

Yeah, I'd repot them. Sorry. I didn't see those posts when I was posting.

Okay as long as I'm explaining it well enough. It's really not just about him but those like him.

I had to do a paper a long time ago for a class I didn't finish, and wished I had, on Blaise Pascal. I know your familiar with Pascal's Wager.

Long story short, the wager was part of his whole unfinished work called Pensees. In the wager he explained that some were unable to believe and to be able to they should speak to others that could not and did, and do as they did to at least learn thier ability and "endeavour" to convince themselves".

So, my thought/question is, if someone like VSF could genuinely try to convince himself that God did exist, Even if God didn't exist, he would live a happier and more fulfilled life just from the mere idea that God did exist?

I quoted my last post in case you missed it. Obviously you don't have to discuss this, but a sentence response will suffice.

I don't know if you got bored with this or didn't see where I was going but because I know how you look at some things and we disagree on some other things I was just curious what you thought. I'm not really concerned with VSF or anyone here, what I mean is this has nothing to do with anyone on VN.

I've already talked to who I am concerned. I'm not one to bring this stuff up, normally, but when it's presented to me I have no problem giving my opinion. Especially to an unbeliever.

It all came down to me saying...."If you can see a major change in me from 3 years ago, I'm happier and healthier than I've been in my adult life and I give all the credit to God and his infinite grace, then if you don't believe in God and you roll your eyes at that, please tell me what you contribute to my change?

Also, if you're on a downward spiral headed for destruction, and it's inevitable, and you asked me how I got my crap together, then does it really matter if God exists or not? I mean, if you are at the point of losing everything you have and have nowhere to turn, why not try Jesus? At this point It really doesn't matter if he exist or not, you literally have nothing to lose."

My thought is if an unbeliever is reaching out to a believer whether they know that's what's actually happening or not, as a last resort, then I have to figure out a way to make it as easy and .....I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here....."not silly" (because they think talking to God is silly)....as possible.

I pretty much finished with ..."If you see the change in me and I credit God for it but you don't believe in God and you've tried everything else, then even if God doesn't exist, my believing in God is working for me and a bunch of other people and the only downside to it is a you and few other people think we're silly for it. You and them also thought I was silly for the way I abused alcohol and tobacco. The only way you won't think I'm silly for something, is if I act exactly like you think I should. How's that working for you?"

Lol.

Sorry, I'm running off at the mouth. I'm just really curious what someone else thinks about it. I haven't talked to anyone else about it and I think my preacher would frown and tell me to never mention anything like "it doesn't matter if God doesn't exist". I get that, but I also believe if it gets him to at least trying to talk to God it's worth it and if not he didn't believe anyway so what difference does it make?

it seems like you are in the right place with it. I’ve never been good at that level of witnessing. I just explain sin and Grace to the best of my ability. I can’t point to what some would call “Godly behavior “ as I tend to be a bit of a sledgehammer. I believe people are called for certain things and I clearly was not called to be a shepherd. There was a time when I wanted to lead but G-d more or less explained that was not for me. I found myself in a study about King David. David wanted to build G-d a house but G-d said it wasn’t for him to do as David was a man of war. So David cleared the way for others to do it. In this case his son Solomon. I have no idea what G-d has used me for and I probably never will. I tell you all of that to tell you this……I think you do well. My advice would be to be like the sowers. Do what you have for G-d and allow G-d to work knowing that you may never see the gains or know about them this side of the next life but that doesn’t mean they’re not there.

I hope that helps in some way.


see I can ramble too.

That was more than I was looking for, but I appreciate it. What I said wasn't thought about, it just came out of my mouth. I was kinda surprised afterwards and really unsure what I thought about it myself. Was interesting to me because of things from my past and present created a "perfect storm" and Its a little scary, but in a good way. Anyway, thanks for the input.

And just so we're on the same page, and I may be misunderstanding you about the Godly behavior part, but right now Godly behavior for me is not acting like an idiot. Lol.
