Last week I purchased a new fancy mower with all the gadgets to mow the hills on my property. The clerk at the hardware store said you want a self-propelled mower. Not knowing too much about mowers, I went with the recommendation.

I took it out for a push in the self-propelled mode, and I was doing fine for awhile until I took a life of a turtle. I won’t go into the gory details….

And then, I proceeded to flip the mower several times as if it was a gymnast doing an acrobat maneuver on the floor.

I came to several conclusions from this mowing expedition. One, I wish my husband was still alive to do this job and two you don’t want to be self-propelled in this world. Lean on God for total control.
