Plowing and News

Hello readers!

I have been plowing over the last few days off and on. I have put in a little over 30 hours. Friday/Saturday I was out for 35 Hours (with a couple of breaks). I went out on Tuesday morning for a few hours, and then again about 11Pm.

Currently I am taking a break as I was let off at 5Am. I may have more work at 7 Am (Wednesday). So I am sitting in my truck waiting for a call.

Thank you to all why have prayed for me! The Lord has truly been protecting me and my truck.

In Christ,
Andrew

Note to readers. I am experimenting with the layout and style of my blog. When I have a final form I will let you know. In the meantime, please be aware that changes will be taking place.

Snow Plowing Pictures

Here are a few pictures from my last plow. Unfortunately, my phone camera was set on a very low resolution so the pictures are not that great.






This was one of three piles I made that got over 6' high! I was impressed with the ease of stacking with the plow.

Just a note

Just a note to my readers,

I was blessed to be able to plow on Thursday/Friday. Praise the Lord I stayed safe! I did try to take a few pictures with my phone, but I need to see how they came out...

Time Wasters

Hi Y'all!

I recently read this list of ways in which we waste time composed by Richard Baxter. I was convicted while reading this list. One of my areas of greatest struggles is in not wasting the time God has given me. I pray that as you read you are blessed and convicted as I was. At the end of this post I have included a link to the full text which is from The Practical Works of Richard Baxter Vol. 3. I recommend that you go and read the full text.

Thief I: One of the greatest time-wasting sins consists of idleness or sloth.

Thief II: The next thief or time-waster is excess of sleep.

Thief III: The next thief or time-waster is an inordinate adorning of the body.

Thief IV: Another time-wasting thief is unnecessary pomp and curiosity in retinue, attendance, house furniture, provision and entertainments, together with excess of compliment and ceremony, and servitude to the humors and expectations of time-wasters.

Thief V: Another time-wasting sin is needless and tedious feastings, gluttony, and tippling. (Tippling – drinking)

Thief VI: Another time-waster is idle talk.

Thief VII: Another thief which by the aforesaid means would steal your time, is vain and sinful company.

Thief VIII: Another notorious time-wasting thief, is needless, inordinate sports and games, which are stigmatized by the offenders themselves, with the infamous name of pastimes, and masked with deceitful title of recreations;

Thief IX: Another time-wasting thief is excess of worldly cares and business.

Thief X: Another time-waster is vain ungoverned and sinful thoughts.

Thief XI: Another dangerous time-waster sin is the reading of vain books, play-books, romances, and feigned histories; and also unprofitable studies, undertaken but for vain-glory, or the pleasing of a carnal or curious mind.

Thief XII: But the master-thief that robs men of their time is an unsancitified, ungodly heart; for this loseth time whatever men are doing; because they never intend the glory of God.

Snow plow and updates

Hi Y'all!

I have not posted for quite some time. Lord willing I will post more regularly. Since moving home from NC I have been working in my lawn care business and for a man in our church doing construction/remodeling. This winter I am working snow removal (as a sub contractor, and a few residential places) Here are some pictures of my truck and plow (taken before I was able to use it). I was able to go plow on Sunday night/Monday morning.

The truck side view (this is before I installed a Timbren kit to help the front end, and before I added 500# of ballast)

I love this shot!

Thank you Stephen! I needed a little humor during a snow in which we got enough snow to plow, but it melted and I did not get called... :(

Well there you have it!

In the next few weeks I hope to plow often and start working on a book project. Please pray for my diligence and that the project would succeed! (it is a reprint

NCFIC Inturnship

Hi Y'all,

As some of my readers know I am interning with the NCFIC (ncfic.org). We started on Monday with some audio editing. Yesterday I worked on a research project. I took some pictures of our office (which is still changing). Here they are.

My desk

Our room (suite #3 at 220 S. White St. Wake Forest, NC 27587)

I am having a great time! I will attempt to post some more information about each of my roommates soon! Tonight we are having dinner with the Brown Family and then we are having a church wide prayer meeting.

More to follow soon (maybe I will start posting every day or so!)
