Well it has been a month since I last posted and I suppose I am long overdue. I have been working on the garden a lot and it is growing well. We have tomatoes, peppers, beans, corn, radishes and brussell sprouts. Some are doing better than others. My other project which I have mentioned is my recumbent tricycle called a Delta Wolf because it is a delta style long wheel base trike having two rear wheels as opposed to a tadpole style trike which has two front wheels. I have posted some pictures at picasaweb and there is a link at the bottom right of this page. The picture at the left shows the 'rolling frame stage' which is a major milestone in the construction process.
We did go camping one time this month at Lake Brownwood and enjoyed it a lot. I want to go at least one more time next month before our Texas parks pass expires. We have a pop up trailer that needs a lot of roof repair and I will tackle that this summer. It still works OK but the repairs really need to be done.
I attended the annual employee recognition luncheon at HPU today and it was good to see everyone. One of the guys I worked with received the "Outstanding Staff Member" award and it was well deserved. The food wasn't bad and it was free which is always good.
Our church, after being without a pastor for 16 months, has appointed a pastor search team to begin the process of looking for a new pastor. I was selected to be a non-voting alternate member of that team. Since we have changed to an Elder based system of governance in the interim time, we will have to find one who is comfortable in this environment. I am sure that will not be a problem but it will present challenges. As you have opportunity please pray that we will be able to discern God's will in this matter.
Next week I will travel to Caney Creek to spend a week on odd jobs there and doing some fishing. At least I plan to do some fishing. I am not sure what other tasks I can do but I am sure there are plenty. Martha cannot go since next week is the end of semester and she needs to be here for final grades to be posted and to help with graduation. Her father is in poor health and we anticipate a quick trip to Michigan based on what we are told about his condition. Hopefully it will not be this coming week.
I will leave you with this quote from Lamentations 3:22-23a.
The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
God is good... all the time and, All the time... God is good.
