Heltec LoRa32 V3 Spectrum Analyzer! Zachrey Helmberger 2024-03-09 | In the Arduino IDE, goto Tools-Board:-ESP32 Arduino-"Heltec WiFi LoRa32(V3)..."Once you've selected the board, goto File-Examplesand scroll all the way down to "Examples from custom libraries" - Heltec_ESP32_LoRa_v3 - spectrum_analyzerThis is the sketch I used.
heltec LoRa32 v3 and sht30 hookup Zachrey Helmberger 2024-03-08 | Here is a Heltec Lora32 V3 module with two extra pins added to the board to give easy access to the i2c SDA and SCL pins for Environmental Sensing in Meshtastic firmware.Pin 17 is SDA and pin 18 is SCL.I tinned the two pads on the circuit board with silver bearing electronic solder and tinned the tips pf the two pin male header and, using the "helping hands" jig I soldered the pins to the board.Using the Meshtastic web flasher (flasher dot Meshtastic dot org) on an Opera web browser on Linux, I flashed Meshtastic 2.2.23 and then, using the Meshtastic android app, I scrolled down to the "Module Configuration" section and clicked on "Telemetry" and enabled the "Environment telemetry" and enabled "Displayed on screen", etc.And it WORKED! Even though the SHT30 sensor is on the same i2c bus as the OLED display, it did not mess up the OLED display. If I probed the i2c pins with a voltmeter, it messed up the display.
2Peter 2:20-21 Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-29 | There is so much to unpack in these two verses! Can you see it? Do you understand what Peter is saying?
Examples of Plerosai, G4137 Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-23 | A lot of people think Jesus "fulfilled" the Torah so that we no longer need to walk in it. But a look at the Greek word, G4137 used in Matthew 5:17 and how it is used in other Bible verses sheds some badly needed light on the matter.Matthew 3:1515“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to 'plerosai' all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him."Mattew 5:1717Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to 'plerosai' them.Romans 15:1313Now may the God of hope 'plerosai' you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."Colossians 1:2525I became its servant by the commission God gave me to 'plerosai' to you the word of God,"If Matthew 5:17 is to be read, "...I have not come to abolish them, but to "abolish or to make of no effect" them.", then you have a clearly illogical statement something like "A is true. A is not true". And to test this further, we could take Matthew 3:15, “It is fitting for us to "abolish or to make of no effect" all righteousness in this way.” Or how about Romans 15:13, "Now may the God of hope "abolish or to make of no effect" you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him..." and Colossians 1:25 "I became its servant by the commission God gave me to "abolish or to make of on effect" to you the word of God,"Without the truly, truly divine Word of God, especially the Torah of YHVH which He commanded us not to add to or take away from, we have nothing to stand on but what the world would tell us is The Truth. And you know painfully well how that is going! God help us!What is Truth?What The Way?What is The Life?What is sin?What is love?What is a disciple of Jesus as compared to a disciple of Shammai or Confucious? How did what they teach differ from each other?What is Divine?What is man-made?
Enter His Rest pt 2 Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-16 | 16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to THOSE WHO DISOBEYED? 19So we see that it was because of their UNBELIEF that they were UNABLE TO ENTER....Hebrews chapter 4:1Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it. 2For WE ALSO RECEIVED THE GOOD NEWS JUST AS THEY DID; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who FORMERLY HEARD THE GOOD NEWS did not enter because of their DISOBEDIENCE, 7God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following THE SAME PATTERN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
Enter His Rest! Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-16 | 7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:“Today, if you hear His voice,8do not harden your hearts,as you did in the rebellion,in the day of testing in the wilderness,9where your fathers tested and tried Me,and for forty years saw My works.10Therefore I was angry with that generation,and I said,‘Their hearts are always going astray,and they have not known My ways.’11So I swore on oath in My anger,‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ”12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a WICKED heart of unbelief that TURNS AWAY FROM the living God. 13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. 15As it has been said:“Today, if you hear His voice,do not harden your hearts,as you did in the rebellion.”16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who SINNED, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who DISOBEYED? 19So we see that it was because of their UNBELIEF that they were unable to enter."side note:Hebrews 3:18-19 suggests that "belief" has something to do with "obedience".
The Sect of Paul?! Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-16 | A sect is a religious group that has separated from a larger religion and is considered to have EXTREME or UNUSUAL beliefs or customs.Acts 24:14, a confession of the Paul:"14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to THE WAY, which THEY call a SECT. I believe EVERYTHING that is laid down by the TORAH and written in the Prophets,"Being able to distinguish between what is divine and what is man-made or "of the world" is super important. Then you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free from the doctrines and traditions of men. Through obedience to the Truth, even though you are "in the world", you are no longer "of the world" (see John 17:14-23), Since there is only ONE Truth, all become perfectly united and not scattered into a zillion man-made denominations.
Did Jesus Beget Children?! Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-16 | Isaiah 53:10Yet it was YHVH's will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His OFFSPRING, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of YHVH will prosper in His hand."Could this be a metaphorical begetting? Like Paul and John begat children of God?Philemon 1:10I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I HAVE BEGOTTEN while in my chains,"3 John 1:4I have no greater joy than to hear that MY CHILDREN are WALKING in THE TRUTH.1 Corinthians 4:15For if you should have ten thousand guardians in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU through the gospel."
Isaiah 2:3 Zachrey Helmberger 2024-02-16 | Isaiah 2:33And MANY PEOPLES will come and say:“Come, let us go up to the mountain of YHVH,to the house of the God of Jacob.HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS(not the ways of Methodism, Lutheranism, Baptism, Hasidism, but HIS WAYS)so that we MAY walk in HIS PATHS.”For the Torah will go forth from Zion,and THE WORD OF YHVH from Jerusalem."
Brewster Angle Effect?! Zachrey Helmberger 2023-11-05 | I took a piece of plate glass and some blue tinted polarizing sunglasses and tried to verify this "Brewster angle" effect. I monkeyed with the angle of the glass relative to the sun and the polarization angle of the sunglasses by tilting my head to minimize glare. And it does appear that, at a certain angle of incidence, the sun becomes dimmer and matches the color of the tinting of the glasses. I'm assuming this is what Malus saw in 1808 and Brewster quantified in 1815?!

Worshiping Jesus! Zachrey Helmberger 2023-06-20 | Here are a couple of passages from Deuteronomy 12 that say nearly the same thing (could this be a chiastic structure??) that I think is super important to really understand.It is so awesome to read and study the Bible!! There is SO MUCH richness, detail and insight to be gleaned from just a few verses when seen in various contexts. In this case, I am reading these short passages in the context of the 2nd GREATER Exodus that will be led by Jesus Himself!

Lefse is a Norwegian dish Zachrey Helmberger 2022-10-14 | Lefse is considered a "Norwegian" dish since primarily only Norwegians eat lefse. But if someone, who is not a Norwegian eat lefse, they do not necessarily become a Norwegian.The Biblical feast days such as Passover, Feast of unleavened bread, shavuot, Yom T'ruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, etc. are considered "Jewish" since primarily only Jewish people observe these special days. But if someone, who is not Jewish, observes the feast days of the Bible, they do not necessarily become Jewish.If Jesus the Jewish Messiah knocks at your door and you answer His call, he will come in and dine with you and you with Him!!! You have become a follower of Jesus!!! You have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel (House of Judah [aka the Jews or the Southern Kingdom of Judah] and the House of Israel [aka Ephraim, Joseph, the Northern Kingdom, etc] or All Israel, all twelve tribes)! One people, One Law, One King!!! "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."See 1Corinthian 12:12-13:13, Romans 3:22, Galatians 3:28, Romans 3:29, etc
Begetting Children of God (YHVH) Zachrey Helmberger 2022-06-21 | An in depth look at Strong's Greek 1080 "gennao", to beget and how it relates to being "Born Again".Sorry about the ads (2/2023)! I do not know how to stop them, if it is even possible. Also sorry about the poor audio towards the end! I was using Zoom to record this and am open to suggestions for better apps to record with. But the automatic captions did a remarkable job of transcribing the drop-outs in the audio!

Pump behavior with clogged 500 mesh filter Zachrey Helmberger 2022-05-27 | This is a pretty typical Earthship "Water Organizing Module", WOM, pump behavior with a clogged 500 mesh filter.It builds up pressure and once the pump turns off, the pressure immediately drops down substantially which turns on the pump again, indicating high back pressure in the filter.

a bit windy... Zachrey Helmberger 2022-04-22 | A neighbor recorded a gust of 59MPH today. This is one of the worst windy days I've seen in a while. Dust is obscuring the mountains and even three peaks! And the poor wind charger is not liking it at all. It makes a funny noise when the wind is too fast (4/22/2022)
Born of God!? Zachrey Helmberger 2022-03-26 | I really like 1John 4:7 and started to dig into it a little by looking at the Greek interlinear and focused in on G1080 "gennao" on biblehub:biblehub.com/greek/1080.htmWhat struck me was two things:1) Strong's exhaustive concordance section said: "figuratively, to regenerate", which to me sounds like "to renew".2) Thayer's Greek Lexicon section 2b it says:"2. metaphorically,...b. in a Jewish sense, of one who brings others over to his way of life: ... (Sanhedr. fol. 19, 2 "If one teaches the son of his neighbor the law, the Scripture reckons this the same as though he had begotten him"; (cf. Philo, leg. ad Gaium § 8))c. after Psalm 2:7, it is used of God making Christ his son;a. formally to show him to be the Messiah (υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ), viz. by the resurrection: Acts 13:33...."This set off a few mental fireworks in me and I started digging some more!In John 3 there is the famous "you must be born again" exchange with Nicodemus which uses the exact same G1080 "gennao". So I believe that Jesus is using the metaphorical sense of G1080 to say to Nicodemus, "you are the son of my neighbor. I will teach you the law My Father taught Me when I became His Son in Psalm 2:7 and if you repent of the ways of your neighbor and walk in My Ways, you will be My Father's son, too!"And a few verses later in John 3:21 is the kicker:"21But whoever PRACTICES THE TRUTH comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished IN GOD (YHVH).”So to be "born again" is to learn from Jesus the will of His Father who commanded us to love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength. And 1John 5:3-4 tells us plainly how to love God:"3For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. And His commandments are not burdensome, 4because everyone BORN OF GOD overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. "
Cocorahs rain gauge 2022 update! Zachrey Helmberger 2022-03-18 | On 12/16/2014, I posted a video about painting the NM-TS-1 rain gauge that had been degrading in the 35% more intense UV at 7,000 feet.It is now 3/17/2022 and here is the update on the gauge. Most of he paint fell of the main cylinder but It is still working but I think there might be a small leak at the bottom of the main cylinder.
G4LL GYLL LIFEPOWER4 BATTERY DIES WHEN INVERTER TURNED ON! Solution found!!! Zachrey Helmberger 2022-02-08 | Just installed a single 24V, 200AH G4LL Lifepower4 battery and everything worked perfectly yesterday and, as expected, we got a little over 100AH into the battery from the FM80 controller before it got to float. This morning, 2/7/2022, the owner flipped on the inverter for the day, and poof, all the DC lights went out and the AC power never came on and he had to get up on the roof to call me (I slept through the whole thing) since there was no WiFi.This is what I discovered once I realized he was having trouble: When the white switch on battery is turned on, the LEDs go through a normal startup sequence and then show three green LED for greater than 50% SOC. Then when you flip on the breaker to power up the Outback FM80 charge controller, the red ALARM light immediately comes on and there is no sign of battery power to the FM80. The same thing happens when you cycle the white battery enable switch and turn on the VFX3524 inverter charger.But, praise Yah, I found the solution on the Internet! You need a resistor! So I took a 15' piece of thin gauge insulated wire to make, essentially, a 3.8 Ohm resistor. I connected one end of the wire to the BAT+ terminal of the Outback FM80 controller and connected the other end to the red + terminal on the battery. We heard the fan fire up on the FM80 and THEN we flipped on the breaker for the FM80 and it stayed functioning!!! Then we went through the same procedure for the Outback VFX3524 inverter-charger. I connected one end of the long skinny wire to the + terminal of the battery and the other end to the + terminal of the inverter charger. There was a spark when the leads were touched but it DID NOT KILL THE BATTERY!! Then we turned on the big 250 Amp DC breaker for the inverter and it stayed alive!!!!So for now, we will have to make a doorbell switch and a resistor circuit to "pre-charge" the capacitors in the inverter charger and/or the charge controller whenever we want to turn them on ! But we are SO GRATEFUL that we found this workaround!!! God bless the Internet!!
Picuris peak repeater adventure!! Zachrey Helmberger 2022-01-09 | We made it to the top of Picuris peak on a beautiful day riding in an amazing Snow Cat. We managed to find the cooler with the dead battery in it and realized the wiring was not optimal for protecting the battery so we switched the loads to the charge controller "Load" outputs to help protect the battery from over discharging.

Prayer Walk-a-Thon for Taos! Zachrey Helmberger 2021-11-22 | Prayer Walk-a-Thon for the Town of Taos.The prayer walk starts at Noon, Monday November 29, 2021 at the gazebo in Taos Plaza. We will walk along the main street of the town of Taos and some side streets.As we walk and pray imagine what would Taos look like even if just one of Jesus' commands was obeyed? What if there was no theft in Taos? What would that look like? Would Taos be transformed by this one thing? What would it look like if there was no more bullying in Taos? Would Taos be transformed by this one thing? Or how about adultery? Would relationships be transformed by this one thing? What if people considered others more important than themselves? Would that one thing transform Taos?Consider Philippians 2:"3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves."Such an instruction, though not directly stated by Jesus, is implied in Jesus's command to love one another even to laying down your life for the sake of others. What kind of impact would that have on the town of Taos? Can you imagine?!So if you feel called, please join us for the prayer walk that starts at the Taos plaza gazebo at Noon, Mon, November 29, 2021.
Toilet Tank Treasures with a Microscope Stroboscope!! Zachrey Helmberger 2021-11-15 | Sorry the video did not do justice to what you can actually see through the scope. But this might be a YouTube first! I programmed an ESP8266 to produce a voltage pulses of varying frequency and duration to enable visualization of the cilia of vorticella. Fortunately, the ESP8266 can provide enough juice to a high power white LED brightly enough to see critters under the microscope! By varying the frequency, you can observes a number of things about the vorticella cilia.

OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, part 2 Zachrey Helmberger 2021-09-03 | This is part II about the phrase "Our Righteousness"I saw an interesting connection between the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:13-25), the Prophet Jeremiah (chapters 23:1-8 and 33:14-26) and Romans 3:21-23 and possibly Revelation 21:27, Hebrews 4:6, and Luke 13:23-28:23“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?”Jesus answered, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 25After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’26Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’27And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS!’28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out."
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS... part 1 Zachrey Helmberger 2021-08-29 | Apparently, my phone has a 10 minute recording limit so this will be in two parts...I saw an interesting connection between the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:13-25), the Prophet Jeremiah (chapters 23:1-8 and 33:14-26) and Romans 3:21-23 and possibly Revelation 21:27, Hebrews 4:6, and Luke 13:23-28:23“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?”Jesus answered, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door.

A quick update on my Facebook account Zachrey Helmberger 2021-08-27 | a quick update on my Facebook account (8/26/2021).My FB account has been suspended.The reason as far as I can ascertain is that I posted a quote from Joseph Goebbels.I have posted numerous things that speak out against evil such as what is going on in Afghanistan, Islamic doctrine, Critical Race Theory etc. without harassment or warnings. I praise Yah that I had the liberty to post a great deal of Bible verses without harassment from FB.But Facebook has a commandment that shall not be broken! THOU SHALT NOT POST QUOTES FROM JOSEPH GOEBBELS!I have posted quotes from Hermann Göring and other luminaries from that time without blowback from FB. But there seems to be something about Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda of a certain person with a funny mustache. Posting a quote from someone concerning propaganda should not be that big of a deal to the people at FB, right? You can post all kinds of obscene stuff on FB but it seems that talk about propaganda is verboten. Seems strange to me anyway..

How to search the Bible by Strongs numbers Zachrey Helmberger 2021-07-27 | I wanted to find instances of the phrase "return to the LORD" in the Bible and was trying to search by the Hebrew words. H7725 is the word "shuv" which loosely means to "return" and it has 1,056 instances in the Bible. The LORD is H3068 and has 6,220 instances in the Bible.Needless to say, that is a LOT to plow through! But Shane B. revealed to me a simple solution to the problem :blueletterbible.orgSimply type in "H7725 H3068" in the search box in the upper right of the home page. It even has the cursor already to go in the search box so you can just start typing!
Read The Bible!! Zachrey Helmberger 2021-04-11 | Some comments on reading the Bible and the power of distinguishing what is divine and what is man-made. Here is what I read aloud along with a significant passage in Deuteronomy 4 and 5."If you want to learn about the Bible, then read the Bible.Prayerfully read Genesis through Revelation. Once you are done, open up to Genesis 1:1 and read to Revelation 22:21. And once you have read Revelation 22:21, go to Genesis 1:1 and read all the way to Revelation 22:21. Each time you read, it will take longer and longer to get through it because your mind will make all of these amazing connections and the Holy Spirit of Truth will reveal to you the heart of YHVH and His Son.It is a simple message that a 5 yr old can understand and yet it is incredibly vast and deep the more you read it. It is easy to get lost in the Word, but I think it is important to actually DO the works that it commands us to do; to love YHVH, to love one another as our very selves and obey His Torah as best we understand it in love, mercy and forgiveness to Honor what Yeshua did for us (1John 4:7-5:5).As you read, you will begin to distinguish what is divine and what is man-made. Make it a practice to discern what is man-made and carefully consider it in light of the teaching found in Genesis-Revelation. As I read it, it tells me to stop celebrating Christmas and Easter since YHVH did not instruct us to observe such things and there are verses that actually forbid us from observing them (Dt 6:13, 10:20, 12:30-31, Matthew 4:10, 1Sam 7:3, Luke 4:8). In other words, Christmas and Easter are man-made. When you can discern what is divine and what is man-made doctrine and traditions, then much of the confusion in Matthew-Revelation disappears (e.g. Mt 15 and Mk 7, 13:14, 14:3, Mt 12:2/Lk 6:1[see Dt 23:25], Mt 12:10, John 9:13-16).Remember, a MIXED MULTITUDE (Exodus 12:38, 49, Numbers 15:14-16, 29-30, Leviticus 24:22, Galatians 3:28, Romans 3:22, 29, Isaiah 56:1-8, 1Corinthians 7:19, 12:13, Colossians 3:11, Ezekiel 47:22, Romans 10:12) of appx. 3 million people stood in front of a certain mountain and simultaneously and audibly heard YHVH speak AND SURVIVED (Dt 4:1-5:33)! No other "ism" can claim such a mass revelation of YHVH or any "god" (it is almost always one person claiming they heard "god" speak, which means it has essentially zero credibility and relies almost completely on the charisma/persuasiveness of the claimant, and possibly being able to harness demonic forces in order to impress and gain followers)."
MX60 WEIRD NOISE Zachrey Helmberger 2021-02-01 | Here is an MX60 controller that we just switched from 24V operation to 48V operation. The array is two 24V panels in series and sometimes the MX60 makes a strange sound when the PV voltage is less than 60V.Hoping there is a way to control the minimum voltage the controller goes down to so it does not make this strange sound. Not sure if it is an alarm.I googled like mad this morning trying to find out what the minimum acceptable array voltage is for the MX60 but I struck out.
MX60 AND LOW ARRAY VOLTAGE Zachrey Helmberger 2021-02-01 | Just switched our power system from 24 volts to 48 volts and the MPPT voltage of the array is 59v. There are strange high pitched sounds that come out of the charge controller on occasion.
Fun with NanoVNA v2 and WiFi cantennas! Zachrey Helmberger 2021-01-22 | Here is a simple calibration and evaluation of a WiFi cantenna.

Their email address is:millelacskathio.statepark@state.mn.usA long time ago in the 1980s, my friend and I were fishing at my dad shore-side cabin (on Pine Lake??). The fishing was poor so we asked Dad if he knew of any good fishing spots nearby. He suggested Kathio State park dam. So we hopped in the car with him and went over there since we did not know where it was.We arrived at the dam and there was this big warning sign showing a stick figure of a man trapped in a circulating current just downstream from the spill-over dam. I looked at it for a second and thought that it was quite dangerous (little did I know...). We got to the dam and happily started fishing.Then Dad's dog, doing what black labs do, started swimming around on the upstream side of the dam. eventually she got swept over the spill-over dam and was trapped in this deadly double down current.The water level on the downstream side was about one foot lower than the top of the dam. So when it spills over it falls down with a little bit of speed (the quiet, innocent laminar flow of the water over the dam was deceptive). Well, that water falls down perhaps 20 to 30 feet to the bottom of the river and then it comes straight back up and meets the downrushing water from the spillover and gets pulled down again. So you end up with this double downward current much like a paper shredder mechanism or the old fashioned clothes wringer mechanism. There is pretty much NO ESCAPE!The poor dog was forced to paddle like mad to stay afloat.Then Dad, wearing this huge down jacket get in on the upstream side of the dam to rescue the dog. He squats down to reach the dog and right when the the water hits his butt, he goes over. Now we have the dog paddling and my dad slogging and sloshing in this giant coat trying to stay afloat. I hollered to dad and then I take my shoes off (and I think my coat, too) and do the same stupid thing and get in on the upstream side of the water trying to stay upright on the slippery algae coated rocks. I tried to plant my feet firmly before squatting down to get dad knowing that if the water hits my butt I might go over too. And of course the minute the water hits my butt, I lose my footing and go over the dam, but in a miracle from YHVH, my friend catches me by the ankle! He pulled me up and I was standing again (my friend was very high up in speed skating so he was a pretty strong fellow, PTL)!In a dire situation, we then agreed to try and get Dad. My friend would be the anchor and I would straddle the water over the dam and grab Dad's hand. By this point he was exhausted and all that was left was his hand and God put my hand in his hand and I got his head above the water.Then I started pulling with all I had and I could see my arms bend as I was pulling and, with my friend's help, SOMEHOW we pulled him, with that giant, waterlogged, jacket, against that current over the dam. Then like some primitive scene I pulled Dad along by the hand like a canoe on a rope until I beached him on the shore. He was coughing up water but was otherwise OK.Then we finally got smart and went to the downstream side of the damn and this time my friend went in and I held onto his pants. The dog came over to us and he grabbed her by the collar and pulled her forward about one foot to get past the "hump" of water that was secondary downcurrent that prevents escape from the primary, spillover, downcurrent and she easily swam to shore and acted like nothing had happened.That night, nobody got any sleep as we were involuntarily and constantly hitting replay in our minds and sighing.I praise YHVH for my friend Erik who risked his life to save me, my dad and his dog.Jesus famously said:"13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."--John 15:13And the apostle John said:"16By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?"--1John 3:16So if you feel moved to do so, please contact Kathio State park and ask them to install a life ring and a rope out at that damn dam!millelacskathio.statepark@state.mn.usMille Lacs Kathio State Park15066 Kathio State Park RoadOnamia, MN 56359320-532-3523
