Thank you for being patient while we took a little break through the month of July!
We hope you enjoyed listening back to some of the older episodes. It is truly an honor and privilege to do each and every interview with our wonderful friends and neighbors.
In this short ad free episode, Jason talks about logging and harvesting trees. From the very first European settlers, logging and harvesting timber has been a crucial part of shaping the world we live in. The pioneers would happen up on the place they chose to settle, cut and hew logs, and build homes and other buildings to raise their families in. Dragging the logs with oxen or horses and mules, then they would soon raise a house.
Logging became more industrial after the invention of the saw mill, and also saw a big boom with railroads. Though it saw somewhat of a decline during the Civil War, it never stopped. In the early 1900's the boom continued, then had a big increase during WW2.
We challenge you to look around your home one day, and see how many wood items that you spot in your home. Anything that you find made of wood at some point in time was brought out of the forest by loggers. If you would like to share with us all that you found, tell us about it in the Questions section of this podcast.
We thank God for his wonderful bounty, that we should be good stuarts of!
We thank all the people who through the years who have had part in building the world we live in!
