So much to do

Up early and off to universal industries to pickup a load of steel for the tops of the RTM risers.
Then over to a meeting at the catholic school with their career councilors. They will include us as an option as we move ahead and keep them informed on the ranch progress.
Our power poles are in,up and straight
and wire to them our trusted electrician will come and complete the hookups.
God is our provider thank goodness for that as He sees His project coming together. An old friend once said that God has a special place for those who judge and manipulate what's His and as we see the ranch move ahead one day at a time, one miracle and blessing at a time and no debt at any time we are thankful to each and everyone of you for your ongoing support.
What a blessing today as more supplies and over a hundred trees were donated by a nieghbour. So many nieghbours are now involved even some that we were told would never help us, are now some of our most gracious supporters. Many have promised to look after certain area's of the ranch or take care of maintaining a piece of equipment.
What a blessing to have Forbes around to do our mechanical up keep and repairs. A front end job on the Dodge done in hours for a tenth the cost in a shop, who can ask for anything more.
The good Lord has a lot for us to do in preperation to help those in need.

Can you imagine

Spending most of your life infront of a TV set.

Spending most of your life justifying who you have become and justifying works till you have to look in a mirror

Never really being happy with your life but triing to look happy

Well 18 years ago we shut down all TV input to our home and it was one of the biggest and best moves we made. It's kinda like a furnace filter air does get through but as the dirt piles on the furnace starts to over heat and breakdown. Now this is were people look for every thing and everyone to blame for the problems but them selves.

Helping Blaine and Joey as we worked towards getting the water on in Blaine and Elisa's new home this evening was great and grandpa would have been as proud of his boys as I am.


Out at the ranch we had another blessed day as more equipment and supplies arrived. Power poles were installed and power lines dug in. Equipment repaired by tradesmen that always show up just at the right time to lend a helping hand.
Was great also to have Merv drop by and as we all know what a prayer warrior he is as he encourages so many to not fall into the trap of the naysayers. But to press on with the knowledge that God has and always will bless the ranch.

God encounter

Early start this morning and heading into Saskatoon for a meeting with Darryl and then great lunch and ride on the bike down spadina with Victory. But due to such busy schedules Darryl was unable. And as God always does he lined me up with JD Wheels senior writer in Saskatoon and we met in Tim's while I was waiting on Victory. After explaining the ranch project JD shared that he was a Christian and that this was a project he would tell to everyone he knew. JD has a great TESTAMONIE and some say will share it with us all.

Met up with Dale And had a look at a fire truck that may be donated to the ranch for fire protection. What a blessing as they are so excited about what God is doing out at the ranch.

Then I made it on time to meet with Art and his wife in North Battleford and we discussed a few situations we had to deal with at the ranch.

Mark with the help of a few aids arrived at the ranch with his class. Starting out with a run down and explanation of the ranch purpose, coffee and a off we headed out in different directions to get at the days work. Each team worked hard and all was accomplished that we planned to do.

The girls again put on a spread fit for a king. After pie and ice cream Mark and his team headed back to the city. Katherine with the Source spent the entire morning with us, experiencing the great atmosphere of everyone working together and accomplishing so much. It was great to step back and listen to the positive comments and laughter. James Friesen had his guys understanding a lot more as to how important math is to a tradesman.
More company after lunch and help and hopefully soon the half log pine siding will be going up.

An answer to yet another prayer as a company out of Red Deer will arrive to do some major projects at the ranch.
