Journal

This morning I worked with Jill cutting and putting vetiver grass in the loft of the old shed. I cut tons of the grass with the gas hedge trimmer while wearing one of Rohda’s long sleeve shirts, but my legs got really cut up, oh well. Jill and I gathered and loaded the cut grass onto the trailer on the golf cart then took it to the “tool depot” area and put the grass in the loft so it could get dry and then be used in a thatching project. Once we finished cutting the amount of grass that was needed, we then then went with Courtney to get some supplies for the rabbit cage project then weeded some trees on the mountain. Then we had a delicious version of shepherds pie and some really good fruit-yoghurt-pie-stuff (Heather really can cook some good food!). After lunch, I worked on the massive trenching job mostly working with Jeff and Kevin gluing pipes together, and then burying them, which required digging out under the pipes in some areas and once the pipes were in the trench, they had to be held down and then have sand (dirt) put on top of them. There were a couple pipes that we really had to bend to make them fit in the trench due to the curves, but they all went in. We worked late until about 6:15 then cleaned tools and showered. After showers we packed up and then rode to Burger King after a vote of where to go. We ate dinner on 4 of the 5 $$ that Mr. Hanson gave us, saving the last dollar for the next meal, then packed everyone into the van except for Mr. and Jill Hanson. When we got to the church, we had 40 minutes till lights out at 9:40. I got ready for bed and of course that included some aloe, but not too much. Then to bed we went.

Devotions – Mr. Hanson 7:30 am

Philemon and Psalm 101

Onesimus was: wholehearted, half hearted, no hearted to his master. He rand from his master, met Paul and became a believer, and Paul sent him back. Not wholehearted = wholehearted (or even part hearted) for something else. Not wholehearted to God we will find all kinds of excuses to skip QT, wander in daily walk etc… Also we will not talk to as many people about Christ and His work.
