    Sometimes you have to make a stand while maintaining love. Sounds like they need an adjustment to their attitude and some prayer. Another of many reasons I would never live in a neighborhood. Country living!! God bless Sam and keep up a great ministry.

      Ralph that is exactly right, no subdivision for me. Wow, I wouldn’t be able to handle asking permission from a group of folks to do things on my property. Country living is where it’s at. It’s interesting that I have never heard anyone say “ oh we have a great HOA and they are easy to work with”.🤣🤣🤣

    Familiar with improvisation - making a tool that we don't have sometimes. Did want to share that some contractors are sharing/ warning on social media or by word of mouth the names of customers/businesses that they will not work for again (unreasonable expectations, arguing about the estimates, threatening the contractors, or adding to projects without assuming the additional costs). It's less expensive to burn than to haul away...You are saving your customers money.
    I remember a family member saying, "You have to remember - people generally do the best they can," and another asking, "What if their best is abysmal?" His reply was, "At that point, we have to work even harder to show them grace and forgiveness." Not easy. May the Lord bless you, Sam, and keep you and your viewers safe. Until next time, Mike&Pat

    First of all, I absolutely liked your message. Earthly nature is to feed back what you're getting. I can't point any fingers at you on this without having at least 3 pointing back at me. As I heard a wise old fellow say, "You can always tell a man who's walking up to you with the intent of starting an argument. But you can't tell him much, so just go on about your business and let him run out of air first."
    Life's full of people like that.
    Now, about fixing the Hog's parking brake. Having less intuitive mechanical skills than a tree stump, I still admire your willingness to try to repair stuff. I can get more done if I just strap some C4 to something that's broke. Whole lot less big pieces to clear out of the way after hours of non-fixes.

    • @tristardiggin

    Hello, I enjoy all your videos. Just a thought about the pads for the brakes.What about getting a piece of brake lining the correct width and then you can purchase the length . It might take some doing to get the old lining off if there are no rivets in it, you can always drill and then countersink your brake lining using brass rivets. If you know of a machine shop, they might be willing to help you with that at a reasonable cost or you can try it yourself. Before trucking I used to work at a machine shop, rebuilding engines doing brake lines etc. etc. just a thought God bless you keep pushing that dirt.🤠

    First time I've ever heard that type of wrench called a fit-all but that makes a lot of sense, round here we call them crescent or adjustable wrenches. An old-timer once told me at when I was complaining about stress that it wasn't stress that will hurt ya but rather how you choose to respond to it. Great message and great video.

    Falling short of the Glory also becomes priceless even though we are not trying to obtain that goal. As a Christian we will fail in our walk and it’s going to happen. The blessing part is that we can get back up, ask for forgiveness, and try to be a better Christian. Easier said than done! I know!!! Great video and once again thanks for the word!!!

    Well, the repair went pretty well, but what I want to focus on is the message.
    We are all human and make mistakes. I can tell you right now that if someone approaches me in a civil manner, I will definitely reciprocate. Also, if they come at me like a bull, I'll probably also reciprocate. As hard as I try not to, if the behavior persists for a length of time, my temper will eventually get the best of me. I hate being that way and I wish I could be more Christ-like when it comes to stuff like that. After all, the Bible does say blessed is the peace maker. I guess my life growing up and my former career has made me that way, but I'm supposed to know better.
    I appreciate the video and message. Stay safe brother.

    I pulled my equipment that day off that job, I told the contactor I was working for about it. He said his had some word with him too. Told me, don't worry about it bothered me for days
    We all make mistakes in life. We are not perfect like lord Jesus Christ, the more we try to imitate him the devil comes with his attacks and use people to cause things like this.
    i ask god to forgive me and the other guy. He may not know Jesus like we do. Forgive and pray to help us all in this day we live in. all the evil going on.
    thank you for your time and great videos and the word of Jesus, thank you. Hope one day I get to meet you in person. God bless you and your family.

      Hey Matt, that is right! We definitely need to be a witness to those folks who may not believe like we do. But wow is it hard when they are testing our patience. But it is something we should definitely do. Maybe we will get to cross paths one day.
      God Bless

    Good message today ,it’s hard to deal with poor souls that want a conflict over nothing , a little smoke for a few hours, what a pitiful life he must have to worry about that, may have caused more trouble but you should have just handed him a tri star branded crying towel or diaper and walked off , good video on repairing equipment, some times an everyday thing!! Thanks for your honesty!!

      Hey Brian, maybe I need to get a few of those towels to hand out! 🤣🤣🤣
      It sure does seem like a daily thing for sure…
