Cold Front
12/09/07 - The Lord's Day - After Breakfast. A cold front blew in overnight and it looks like our balmy tropical weather is destined to be gone for a week. It was 80 on Friday and in the 70's on Sunday but it is 40 right now and that is likely going to be the high today. The high for tomorrow is supposed to be 34, and the prognosticators are calling for rain between now and Wednesday. Nice. Well, we need the rain. Once again we are near the bottom of our catchwater and are in need of replenishment, so, Lord willing, we will get some in the next few days.
On the 4th day we had our second monthly Community Work Day which was very nice. We divided the community into 4 working groups. Chris, Robert and I worked on stringing barbed-wire in the new entryway at the Ante's property. The rest of the men worked on the pasture fences for that pasture, walking them and fixing where it was down or where it needed bolstering. The ladies worked together loading rock from the fields and hauling it to some deep trenches in the community roads. It was a great day to work, with great weather, and we accomplished a lot.
We had company for the Sabbath as a friend from down in Austin came up for a visit. Then last night we had our weekly Psalm singing and Q&A session over at the Sifford's barn. I had a great Sabbath. I read most of the day, and it was really peaceful and quiet.
Today is the Lord's Day and we will be meeting this morning at 9 a.m. over at the Sifford's barn for singing. Then we will have fellowship dinner at around noon. The sermon is planned for Monday night (if the Lord wills) where I hope to deliver part 4 of the "Order" series.
Winter preparations and chores continue around here. We will likely be canning more bacon and turkey this coming week... IF we can get out if the rains come heavily. Either way, just as good. I am also continuing my preparation to attend the Woodworking school in late January.
I hope all is well with you all.
