Arrivals...

01/02/07 - 3rd Day - After Breakfast. Here we are after the day the world calls "New Year's Day", which due to the prevailing assumptions about time, and due to ubiquitous calendars and whatnot, is supposed to make life seem different, such that we can expect that the post offices and stores will open today after being closed yesterday for the gleeful celebration of.... time passing.

The Ante's arrived safely on the Sabbath, and on the Lord's Day I went with Logan to drive his father-in-law to the airport in Ft. Worth. The Sustaires arrived yesterday afternoon, dropped off their belongings and went back to Ft. Worth to pick up their storage "box" which will be their storage and home for awhile while they build their home. It will likely be something of a madhouse around here for awhile as the new folks begin building and preparing their homesteads. Please be in prayer for them all (the Ante's, the Sustaires, Chris Woods) as they begin their new adventure.

I successfully made cheese on the day before the Sabbath - well, at least we will find out how successfully I made cheese here in a month or so. Everything went well and according to the instructions I followed. I plan on making some more tomorrow (if the Lord wills), and if we keep getting plentiful milk I will keep making cheese. I also hope to do some canning of meat today and maybe tomorrow if the Lord wills. The root cellar is far enough along now that we can begin to store a few things down there while we continue to work on the entrance.

22 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. The Prognosticators are calling for a high of 52 today though. Tomorrow they are calling for a cold 48 and likely some rain, before it warms up later in the week.

I have some things to say, and might say them today on my other blog - so check it out a bit later.

Your servant in Christ Jesus,
