Friday's Frenzy

Fantastic day for a friday as we now have power at the Dave corral and down at the septic pump out location. Wondering if it would ever happen and now it's done and with the help of floating heaters the animals should have water this winter.

Yipo was hard at work when we stopped at Full Tilt this morning only to find out that Emil was away for a bit. So we stopped and chatted a bit with Yipo and then off to Ecole Electric to meet with Tim our tool man electrician. I needed to call him first to meet us there and so after a few rings Tim was on the phone but in no time at all I realized that this was the wrong Tim. This was Tim our furniture guy and he was saying how did you know that I was just saying that I needed to call Harold? He would like Diane and I to speak at the next Rotary Meeting and make a presentation about the ranch how cool is that, I dial the wrong number but it was really the right number. We finally met up with Tim and we were off and running out to the ranch.

Our only disappointment of the day was that we had a lot of people coming out to the ranch tomorrow to help build a shelter for the horses and we still had no power poles that were donated by Atco electric. So we would have to possibly do something else tomorrow. James and I were doing a few last minute details about 5:00, and I could hear Barry hollering and when I looked over his way I could see the miracle he was hollering about, our load of logs was pulling into the yard, in God style not to soon and not minute to late. Our day was back on track or was it ever off. Al the driver drove in and as I waved them into location he gave me the big two thimbs up. They took about 1/2 hour to unload and when I talked to Al the driver he said that he and his family now attended LGF and are excited about the ranch, he said that his boss called him after lunch and asked if he would haul a load of poles out to the ranch. I again thanked him for the poles and asked him who I owe for hauling them and he said I don't believe you owe anyone and he shook my hand and off they went. P.T.L. How can we ever thank God enough for the miracles and the blessings of every day's needs out here at the Battle River Ranch Camp. Every need is a potential huge expense out here at the ranch, and yet God provides.

Matthew 6:33 (New International Version)

³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

PS - Prince's hoof seems much better today and Should be fine in a few more days, then we can let him out of the Dave corral.

We were very blessed this evening as Mark, Rita,Bruce and Charlene joined us for supper and it is Rita's birthday Good Times. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RITA

Progress continues at a miraculous pace out here at the ranch. We used to wonder what if we get to a point and we have run out of materials to continue what then do we do? Well thank the good Lord that has not happened and so we move ahead at the provided pace. As you all join in to help, this first of it's kind facility will come into reality as a place that God will use to change and improve lives as we help by giving direction and hands on training to those seeking to improve thier work skills, place in society and relationship to the God of the universe .

Many of you have said that you are not able to help out as a volonteer but you have held us up in prayer and are constantly calling to up date our prayer needs. Diane, I, James and the board of directors of the Battle River Ranch Camp and the many young men and women that have already benifited from thier time at the ranch are forever grateful to each and everone of you for your contribution and commitment to this incredible Kingdom Building Project. We are getting calls from across Canada as to how one can find out more about the ranch.

Once again thank you so much and may the good Lord bless you and keep you as you seek His purpose in your lives.
