It is funny how we make plans for the day and He has othert things for us to do.

Sunday was like any other Sunday. Got up and clean up my place and wash the truck. Every thing looking good.
We have a guess staying at our Camp this week end. Her name is Stacy. Her and her hubby are part of the board that over sees the ALC/Camp.
So Yesterday we left for church and did all that. Had lunch at Wendy's. We were driving down the road and noticed there was a lot of smoke ahead. I was thinking it was the junk yard down the road from our Camp. I have shown you pictures on that before. But coming closer to the Camp, noticed the gate was open. drove in and saw a fire truck next to the cabins. Drove in back and got out and saw the fire was behind our cabins. Helped the guys out a little. They said we should be okay now. Great I walked around and looked and it did look like we where out of the woods.
I left and started feeding the animals and got a call from Stacy. she tells me that she thinks #3 cabin is on fire. I dropped every thing and drove back and saw she was some what right. It was the leaves that fell on the roof. They were on fire. By God's grace it was a tin roof. So I helped fight the fire. Mark came to help too. I got the old John Deere, brought it back to the Camp and started tearing down trees. The old girl did great. She pushed them down like they were sticks.
Mark and I walked back to get our fire packs. These packs you carry on your back and they are filled with water. Like a large squirt gun. So we walked in back behind our land and started fighting the fire back there. I went and got old faithful John Deere. Drove in back and started reaping down trees that were in front of the fire. So the fire truck could drive in back. She did so well. Mean while Jeremiah and a couple of other kids came back to help us with the fire packs. Then coming back on our land, she blew a water hose. Over heating, not knowing this. I kept driving. Mean while she stopped running. I got some water for her. She broke down right at the exit where the fire truck has to get out. We got her running again. Drove her down our back road a little ways. Just trying to get out of the way of the fire truck. She did good.
We walked around and checked things out. Looking out the back of our land there was still a big fire going away from us. Pretty much things went okay at that time. last night walked around and we should be okay.
Today things are well. But I need to fix our old girl. Not sure what line broke or what. I will find out more after our time of prayer meeting this morning. (staff)

It really neat to watch our new school being built right here on the same property that the old school is standing.

This was the first part of putting up the walls (Oct. 29th) at our NEW WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. Our Principal, Mr. Alfonso tells us that all of...
