Tuesday 's blessings and blessings....

So often we spent a lot of time worrying about everything that we don't enjoy life the way we should. We need to realize we no longer have yesterday. It slipped away as we slept. We don't yet have tomorrow. So lets enjoy today and realize that days are bite-sized portions of life: 84000 heartbeats, 1440 minutes, a rotation of the earth, a sunrise and a sunset, a gift of 24 unlived, unexplored hours. And if we can stack one good day on another, we'll link together a good life. So todays going to be the day, lets go for it, and lets live it to the fullest and bless every one we can. Because, that's what Jesus does and you can start by purchasing your Battle River Ranch Camp Fundraiser tickets as soon as possible. As Diane and I traveled around the community today we were blessed time after time as we spent time sharing, praying, laughing and letting every one know that God will pour out hope not only to the trainees but those that have stood by His vision. A pastor told us not so long ago how we can't even start to imagine all that God wants to do with us cause very few are willing to stop finding fault with everyone and just be a blessing to Him. I guess our hearts tell it all. Hmm Go figure!!!!

There isn't one of you that doesn't need a romantic couples night out, or an evening with as special friend. Spending time laughing and enjoying an evening of entertainment and great food just for you. As we are able to experience daily miracles and blessings out at the ranch this evening will be no different as we wait on the goodness of our Lord for His bountiful provision to continue building the ranch.

We have been so blessed with a family of friends that have made the ranch a possibility and a first of it's kind place that will bring positive life sustaining hope to us all. As we spend the evening with like minded family and friends not one of us will leave with out being encouraged to press on.

You will not want to miss this evening of time spent with your sweetheart or friend. Get out your finest dress, tux or your best leathers. The lights will be kept low for those moments of facial contact and bursts of.............. anyway.

Please contact us if you need a friend or sweetheart that you haven't yet met. Our sweetheart and friend prayer lines are open . PS- Everyone is welcome (but you all know that). Note; All TLC supplied generously by Charlene A.

The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one of a kind entry level trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.

Our hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide can start as soon as possible.

The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.

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 and positive life skill.

Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to how find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.

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 we would be very appreciative, and would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can. Even if you could help with a small one time donation or a larger one it would help so much to bring this life changing facility and place of hope to be opened by this fall.
