Keep the Faith

8/14/06 - 2nd Day - Midday. We got 1 1/2 quarts of milk from Ami this morning! More every day. It was hot already when I woke up. 80 outside, but 83 in the cabin. It will likely be near 100 yet again today. The drought is all anyone talks about when you have to go to town. There are storm clouds south of here near San Angelo and they are heading this way, but who knows if they will reach us. We pray that they will, but we are practical and go on as if they will not. We will be working in the dried up pond the next couple of days (DV), so when it does rain we will be able to keep more of the water. We will be digging out the pond and raising up the dam area.

I have been writing emails and such since early this morning. But I am about to head down to the pond to begin digging. It is looking like we will be back to fencing next week, so we can begin to plan to plant our field in oats. To do that we will need to keep the cows off of it for awhile, which will necessitate us building another fenced in area for the cows.

I've been receiving a lot of attacks. Mostly from friends and family members of people who have come to some understanding of the truth. I am used to such things, but now I see other people coming under attack too... because their spouse or loved ones are getting on to the truth. The worst attackers are the religious zealots (actually religious athiests) in the modern churches. They hate the truth with a passion.

Looks like we will need to go to the lake to get more water later today, but for now I am back to the pond to plan for rain someday!

Be in prayer for us,

Michael
