Interesting Weekend

10/02/06 - 2nd Day - Mid-Afternoon. Over the weekend we got a backhoe stuck in my somewhat dried-up pond. To read the glorious story, click here. So we worked hard all Sabbath literally getting our ox out of a ditch. Lord's Day fellowship was really good, except that all the men were exceedingly sore, sunburned and tired; but we had an awesome brisket with mashed potatoes, rice casserole and cornbread!

The impromptu sermon on the Lord's Day was about Martha and Mary of Bethany, and was very appropriate following our day of worry and anxiety about the buried backhoe. I will try to get the sermon posted ASAP.

I have been in a very active and lively discussion/debate about which I might be able to share some details with you soon. It has taken most of my time for the last 3-4 days. Some of my communications would make excellent tracts on combating modernist religious ideas, so I hope to share them with you soon.

Our egg production is up significantly, and the training of Pita our heifer calf is going well. We haven't had much rain to speak of, so our fall garden is not getting started fast enough and we may not get a crop before the first freeze. The weather here is currently warm, low 90's, but this should only continue a few more days. During Ranchfest, they are calling for mid to high 80's for the first week, and high 70's after that. We will be in the heart of autumn here soon, and can expect cooler temperatures on average.

Pray for us and for those coming down for Ranchfest, that everyone would have safe travel, and that we would have a time of great fellowship, and that God would provide what is needed for that time and for the work that is before us.

Your servant in Christ Jesus,
