God Is Good All The Time

I had prayed that I could see the path that God has put us on. Well If you look back the path is quite clear. Just this week so many things have gone right for us.  That is very impressive with all the stuff that has happened to Oklahoma in the past month.

This has been a pretty good week! I have been working with John Miller Homes and we have started work on a storm damaged home.  This is the house with the new roof, but all the windows were still broken

 
 

 They all looked like this...

 
The cool thing about this project is that is the house of the parents of a friend from High school. It’s sad when tornados do so much damage, but I am very happy to be part of the crew that is putting the home back together. Part of the roof was torn off almost all the windows in the house were broken and the work shop in the back yard was leveled. All in all not bad for what happened in Moore. The house next door had plywood sticking out of the walls

and the house across the street is just gone.  The trees that were on that lot were ripped out of the ground. The house sat behind the telephone polls and the pile of rubble next to the driveway, is all that is left of this house.

That is the difference between a direct hit from a F5 tornado and missing that tornado by 200 yards.                                                                                   Working with Lonnie has been great.

He really knows what he is doing, he is another survivor of Yukon High and he always has a smile. His good friend Jonny worked with us most of the week until the band he plays for went on the road. Jonny is a drummer... Jonny Walker is a drummer... What an excellent name for a drummer. So for most of the week it was Lonnie, Jonny,... and Bob.  Wow it's like the new stooges.

 

Other great news LRDezine, the business Linda and I started last week has been active. Less than 12 hours of sending our web page live, we had booked our first consultation. Thursday night we picked up our new business cards and pamphlets,

and Friday morning we participated in the Yukon Chamber of Commerce’s Friday coffee. This week’s coffee was called Stores without Doors. Normally a store hosts the coffee and everyone goes there and checks out their business but for all the home based business in town we go to the Dale Robertson Center and put up tables and highlight our business to the rest of the chamber. It was a great time we gave out lots of cards and brochures and booked another consultation. Now let’s turn the consultations into jobs.

 

Linda has applied for a position as an office manager for a company in the city if that comes through that will be a blessing. They know she homeschools and they are ok with Josh coming to work.

 

So overall a good week and I can see the starting points to the path that God is leading us, income right away, a business, and hope. Now if you would like to check out the new web site for LRDezine then go to LRDezine.com or go like us on Facebook.

 

A week of Scouting

Last Tuesday Linda, Joshua and I went to Edmond, Ok to participate in the Troop 79 Court of Honor. The reason is that 18 months ago I participated in an adult training program called Woodbadge .  Woodbadge is an 8 day training seminar that is some of the most intense training I have ever taken in civilian life.  After the training you are given the rest of your time to accomplish 5 Tickets. A ticket is a project you must complete to qualify as fully trained. After all five tickets are complete then you receive your final award which is called a beading. (It is called a beading because that is exactly what they give you is two wooden beads on a strap of leather.) That is the quick rundown on Woodbadge.

 

So Tuesday I was awarded my beads with three other members of my Woodbadge patrol (the Owls) and two other Woodbadgers from other patrols.  It was a special night with Linda and Joshua helping in the ceremony.

This is a picute of Jim Martin, Rebecca Koss, and myself. Rebbecca was my Patroll Guide and Jim was the Course Director

 

Later that week Linda and I had the honor of participating in the district Cuboree as the King and Queen of their medieval themed weekend.

 

Danielle Cox put on a great adventure for our younger Scouts and it was great to play a small roll.

 

  We will be awaiting the next call.
