Random Thoughts...

    How do I go about summing up the past few weeks? Not an easy thing. Currenty I have been doing a little deer hunting with the boys. It just doesn't seem like deer season with temps pushing 70 degrees! This week will be very busy with revival meetings starting this Monday night. Lavern Swartz will be our visiting minister. I trust/pray it will be a good week. I am sure it will be worth the effort. We had 2 recent birthday celebrations this month already. Brendon turned 16 on the 10th and Byron turned 11 on the 2nd! Both of them have been a blessing to our family. They are each unique in their personalities. Brendon, of course, is all pumped about getting his drivers lic soon. His schedule right now makes me weary just thinking about it. His days are just crammed with school, basketball, dirvers ed, youth activities etc. etc. I hope he finds his way through it all in one piece. Byron is our little "brainiac" who seems to devour school work with ease. We are not sure if he will keep it up with all the tough stuff ahead but I am sure he will give it his all! He is also very organized and particular with his stuff. Not sure where he gets that from. Can't be from me. Just take a look at my work truck. No, please don't! As far as work goes, we have had a busy year. I feel blessed in that regard because construction has slowed a good bit recently. Seems like houses just are not selling like they were and a lot of guys are struggling to keep busy. Makes we wonder if its just a matter of time till things slow up for us. I am glad God is in control of it all. Yes, even the outcome of the recent elections. It would be easy to get discouraged by it all if we look at things in the short term. The Bible predicts that in the last days things will get worse and even terrible before they get better. It also promises a glorious future for those who endure to the end! Thanks be to Jesus who has made it all possible. Now is not the time to be getting all down and depressed. This sin-sick world we find ourselves in will soon be over. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords will someday bring an end to all hatred, sin, and suffering. Oh what a day, glorious day, that will be....
