4 stiches and a buz! :)

When today started I didnt think it would end the way it did! :) I guess many days are that way. TMM instuled a ram pump using a spring coming from the lake bottom. It works by using the force coming from the spring dropping about 30ish feet to ram a valve up and down to shoot water up 200 feet to jacks house to water animals etc. The coolest thing about the pump is it does not need any electricity! Well because it is not protected we(Dan Teasdale and i) brought it to safety. We disconnected it and Dan carried the 50-75pound pump most of the way. about 10-20feet from the truck I decided to help him out. I took 6 steps and slipped on the wet leaves and my left pointer finger was pinched between a rock and the steal fitting, creating spgettie on my finger! It looked/looks pretty sweet if you ask me but Ethan being the awesome doc he is stitched me up. :) great to have him around, we are one body with many members!(rom. 12:4)
so this morning i decided my hair was getting a little long, so Haley cut most of it all off! The first buz i have had in a long time :)
The last 2 days in Bible class have been great! :) We have been studying men and women's rule in the church and leadership. A passage that stood out to me was Isaiah 3:1-12 and highlighting vs. 12 which says: "Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path." This is challenging to the men of our day. We must stand up and for whats right and take Biblical leadership in the church. Men, and mainly young men do not stand up for leadership as a whole, in our feminized 21st century. This is a challenge for me. I would encourage you to read this whole passage in context. :)
We also had a time of prayer tonight which was so much like prayer meeting at home on wed. nights. It was a awesome time to lift up our concerns to the lord! Thank you so much for your prayers! :)

Beautiful fall colors in the smokies! :)

Last sunday was a beautiful day and we had a out door service on the cherahla skyway! the leaves are changing and are absolutely amazing! :) God paints some amazing pictures for us to enjoy! To bad me forgot my camera but I hope to get some awesome fall pics up.
ok so if you have any questions about this blog please comment or shoot me an email. I really have no idea who reads this other than those who follow it. so moral of the story please comment and give some feedback! :) please and thank you!
Thank you so much for those who are praying for me! I think I am slowly getting Bible class, slowly. We have recently been going through Romans! oh wow jam packed book! good stuff!
And well our dam teacher is now our air strip teacher! never really realized all that went into a airstrip until now. Our test will most likely be this week.
Today was great! After church we went to a southern gospel concert that was amazing! :) South has some good singin, and mainly the Robbinsville Quartet. Then we finished the night with a good old fashion game on back church football at the base of the mountain at Little Snowbird Church. Great fun, wish it was tackle but last time they did that 2 people went to the hospital-sad day, but it would have gotten alot more exciting.
so moral of this post I am doing very well, God is good, life is good eternal life is better!
SMILE :)
