Serious?

This morning I woke up to three inches of heavy, wet BC snow on top of my tent. That's right on May 19 we had a huge dump of snow, bigger than any I got to enjoy this winter. Ok well Three Hills has a really light winter but I thought for sure I was in the clear when I got out here. Ice is one thing but mounds of snow is another. So people with less quality tent got the rude awakening of tent tent collapsing. Seems my new MEC tent is made of tougher stuff, now to see if she floods when all the snow melts. It's gotta go some where I just hope not in my tent.

Planting continues to go well. Our crew has good moral and even though we compete we are really good natured about it and encourage each other.

Were not planting today not only because of the blizzard but because we somehow ran out of trees and had to take two days off. Today being the second. I wonder if it will be warm enough to melt all the snow so we can plant tomorrow.

As I've been doing my daily Bible read I came across Isaiah 58 which really stood out to me. It talks about seeking God for you own sake and not for His own sake. But its in the prophetic books so it is a bit complicated and requires a bit more study on my part. But hey give it a read and leave comment and we'll discuss it next week.

Chad I'm so happy to hear that you are back in the bush. As I said last year, "it's worth coming back a second year because when you start your first day you know what you are doing." I just finished reading all of your blogs from last year. We had some really awesome times. I fell honored to know that I spend my last year planting with you. I pray that God's Grace will continue to change your character into that of Christ's. Oh yeah ...and ....Chad..........GO KICK SOME ASS!
