Five Trees in One Day!

All over our property the drought has taken it's toll on several Oak tree's with one of them being very tall, after much planning we decided they needed to come down. Every time the wind would blow a big limb would fall out of one of them. For the safety of our children they had to come down. When the big Red Oak came down the earth shook tremendously. However we will take that wood and convert it to fuel for heat for our house in the winter.

Family Man, Family Leader

by Philip Lancaster

When Adam fell in the garden of Eden through Autonomy the Lord cursed the ground (Gen. 3:17) and made it very hard to work. Each time I grab a sticker bush, it constantly reminds me of the fall and the results from it. You can't imagine how many sticker vines are on eleven acres of un-improved property in Texas. 

However even after the fall and even though the land has been cursed we still have the job to take dominion in every area of life. Whether it be a famous Bulgarian writer, or a man that works in a convenience store, we are to teach all the nations (Math. 28:19). 

This needs to start at the family level, the family should be your children's first Garden of Eden on Earth. It should be the safest place they will ever be, this should be there first Church, first school,first job and the list goes on! 

So I will leave this to the Fathers and Mothers: is your home your Children's first Garden of Eden?

She Wanted to Go Hunting

Yesterday was my Uncle Henry's birthday.  When I read his facebook status, which wrapped up what the world might call his day, I just knew I had to share it.

WOW what a Day! It went as follows........

1.) Temporary crown put on a broken tooth to start the day off!

2.)Then off to Covenant Acres to spend the rest of the day with my Beautiful Family.

3.)Took the AK-47 down to the deer stand and sat in there for about 2 hours with Hannah Jane, looked for wild pigs. However we saw three on the way to the stand! She was pumped!!

4.) Nothing came out to the feeder, but we did get to spend a wonderful time speaking to each other and just lettings her sit in my lap and watch her grow! 

Children are such a blessing especially when you ask all three of them which one wants to go hunting she is the first to jump up and down raising her hand! Blessed evening!!
