Business and Bible Quizzing.

Have any of you been aware of the recent slow down in construction? I have been self-employed since about 1990 and have seen a few slack periods but nothing to compare to the way this winter has been. I know many guys that would probably say they have had the slowest winter ever. Someone said we are in the midst of a "correction" as far as real estate goes. It makes me realize how blessed I am to have had a fairly busy winter with electrical work. I am not sure why because I don't feel I deserve it any better than anyone else. I just want to go on record here to give all the praise and thanks to God. He really is the One that controls such things and I don't want to take it for granted. He may choose to take me through some slow times. Spring is nearly here and hopefully it will turn things around!
Today was the end of the big Bible quizzing event at Black Rock Retreat. Our students did admirably considering the competition they were up against. Brendon and Andrew both won "All Star" quizzer awards! They did great even though their teams didn't win any trophies. It is such a blessing to see the eternal Word of God memorized and imprinted in the lives of so many young folks!

Way to go Brendon!


Way to go Andrew!

I bet you are super proud of your boys as you should be!!! That's incredible! As far as construction is concerned, I wish it would slow down a little bit more around here. Justin is as busy as a bumble bee. This morning he left for work at 5:00! Ach vell I guess we should just be thankful he has the work right now. I know my brother David could use some of that busyness. Have a great day!

Yeah, Rob, maybe you should consider moving out here, there's plenty of construction still happening in our area. :-)
