So, just out of curiosity, how are the appointed times celebrated today? Leviticus describes most of them with offerings and sacrifices being central to them, but since most folks today aren't in an agrarian society, how are they celebrated? Are they mostly seen as special occasions for believers to come together in celebration and worship? Thank you in advance to any answers.

So, my wife and I are currently building a house, and we've gone to several different lumber yards, as well as a local Home Depot, and can't find anywhere that really has high quality wood. Nearly all the wood I've looked at has been bowed. I've heard that our local Amish sawmills tend to have better lumber, but I wanted to get a few more opinions about it. I know the Amish lumber is probably all rough sawn as opposed to dimensional, but otherwise, has their lumber generally been straighter than what you'd get from lumber yards or home improvement stores?
