Headed out to Edmonton early this morning and then down to Niskew to look at some equipment for the ranch that a business has and we could sure use. Stopped at Action towing and met with John who was coming along as well as Dan Redacopp was waiting at Kitscoty to ride along also. We had a great ride into the city and for the first big ride of the year the weather was perfect.
We met with Paul and he showed us what he had and it was exactly what we needed for the concrete plant even a dump hopper for doing foam blocks after spending some time explaining what the ranch was all about he said If the equipment will help to do what your doing it's yours and he would donate it all to the ranch.PTL. John is going to send a truck and trailer to Niskew and haul the equipment back to the ranch ASAP. As we left Paul's business John was so amazed and said does God ever stop blessing the ranch? We hope not and as we walk in obedience to his plan and the vision more blessing seem to be happening every day.`
On the way home Dan and I stopped for a coffee at Inesfield and had a great chat while we were there Don Fesyk from Kindersley and now from Turtle Lake stopped for a chat and Brownie and her team were heading to a conference in BC, what a blessing to have so many of God's children every where we go.
Also stopped in at Darryl and Sherrie Wills for a visit and had a few great laughs and got some neat pictures beside his B-52 plane or what ever type it is I'm not up on my planes so I may have that wrong. Thanks for a great visit Darryl and Sherri.
More and more as I journey along on this project I have asked the question what do you plan to do with your life to as many young men and women as possible and most have no idea. When I ask them why don't you have any idea the response that I get most times is no one has ever given me a chance or shown me anything that I could be or learn.
It's not hard to pass on some hope to those that are following in our foot steps it should be one of the most natural and most rewarding experiences of our lives. I once new a father that said, why should I show them they'll find something some day on their own, any way I don't have the time or patience to teach them. And he continued to build his own fortune and nest egg for retirement.
Our children know yep they really know if your real and if they are important to us or is our security and wealth what's the most important. It is very clear to them that the choice to be secure comes at a cost to them.
Heavenly Father, You have been pleased to let me be called by the name that is yours from all eternity. Help me to be worthy of that name. May I always be for my children a source of life---phisical, intellectual, and spiritual. Help me to always contribute in great part to their physical growth by my work, to their mental advancement by good education and to their spiritual life by my prayer and example, so that they may become complete human beings and true children of their heavenly Father.
Let me be conscious that my actions always are far more important than my words. May I always be to my children a good example in all the situations of life. May I wear my successes modestly, and may my failures find me a good student; may I be temperate in time of joy and steadfast in time of sorrow. May I remain humble after doing good and contrite after doing wrong.
Above all, may I respect my children's rights as human beings and their freedom to follow a rightly-formed conscience, while at the same time fulfilling my duty to guide them in the way given us by your Son Jesus. Amen.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center.
Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost.
We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can.

This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area.
