Flying H Stuff

We got a new boy at the ranch last weekend. His name is Herb and is from the San Deigo area. Please pray for him and his family during this time of transition. Herb is very much struggling with having to be right all the time, he doesn't know when to be quiet when someone is correcting him. He is very homesick right now and shed some tears (something his parents can not remember him doing in years). Pray for Karen and I as well as we will be the mentoring family. Herb's parents are very much on the same page in what Herb needs to work on and what they need to work on as well pray that they will follow through with all of their commitments over the next year or so. I would ask too, that you keep the leadership of the ranch in your prayers as we are still short a second in command here at the ranch which adds strain to others in certain positions to pick up the slack. It is a burden that is tough to balance. Please remember Karen in your prayers also as she has taken on the responibility of the Food Services with another lady on the ranch, it is definately a time of transition. Pray for patience for me as Karen and she continue to work on balance between getting the job done and family time.

The father/son outing when very well and some dads are very excited for their next visit. The boys of course are missing their dads right now after seeing them for four or five straight days. We also have a new staff family here, it is exciting to have another young family on the ranch. Keep in your prayers the Tindell's they are from Kansas and were here for a interview and a visit. They have been invited to come aboard, so are starting to raise support. Pray for them as it will be hard to move so far away from family. Also, pray for the Huntings as they are still raising their support.

That's all for now!

Have you ever...

had a problem you tried to fix on you own but it didn't work out so well? Or how about had crisis and didn't know where to turn? If not you personally then I am sure that you know some one who has. What are we to do in those instances? Secular Psychologists often times tell us that we suffer these problems because of one disorder or another. I would have to disagree with those "well" educated people and argue that often times people suffer, because of unresolved sin. I realize that my stance is not often popular in today's society. As believer's we have a responibility to encourage and admonish our brother's and sister's when they are suffering because of their sin. We in the body of Christ are to help those around us who are struggling not send them to some "professional." And if we ourselves have a crisis we need to remember where to find all the answers, of course I am talking about the scriptures!
