Work Day

One of our goals in coming together as brothers and sisters in Christ has been to share each other's burdens. Property maintenance and improvement is just one of those burdens. I have been appreciating the opportunity to share work with Phil Seymour. Working together seems to make the work light and we seem to get more done.


We have been waiting for a break in the weather to drill some post holes and today was the day.


We spent 3 hours at the Seymour place, drilling and setting posts in about 20 holes around their pool. We rented a drill rig which made easy work of most of the digging...except for 4 holes. We could barely dent the hardpan.


We spent another 2 hours at our place drilling about 40 holes. We hope to create two paddocks within our present enclosure and build a shelter for Cowboy the horse.


So...while we worked we discussed courtship, evangelistic methods, ideas of overcoming Phil's hardpan, ideas for setting posts on top of the hardpan, ideas for replacing Phil's breezeway, some thoughts about how God justifies us, and how much of Romans 5 Phil will tackle tomorrow.


It was also good to see our sons having a good time working together. May the LORD raise them up to be strong men of faith.


Our wives and daughters supported us with food and drink, among their various duties of the day. Thank the LORD for them.
