“And Paul said, ‘Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am–except for these chains.'”
~Acts 26:29~

The boys went down to the woodshed to get firewood. They’ve gone through so much wood this year, I think more people are driving down and taking it. I sometimes can feel a little protective of the resources because there is no official system for distributing things. Someone will ask my husband, hey I’m needing some wood for my fireplace/stove, can I come by and fill the back of my pickup?

I’ve only known of that happening once. It’s a lot of work to chop wood and I have no idea how people stayed warm through the winter. Just to take one household running would take a lot, but then you multiply that by an entire village and it seems like men would’ve had to spend half their lives chopping wood. I can’t even imagine having to cook with it or bake with it 100% of the time.

And then the forests apparently were abundant with trees that kept such wood available year after year. I don’t understand how they never ran out. Not everyone just lives right next to a forest so if you didn’t then where were you supposed to go and get your wood from? Trees wouldn’t have grown fast enough to replace themselves. Then they drove back and stacked it under the backyard stairs.
