Trained with the burros today!!

Bonnie and I took out 2 of Bill Lee's burros this morning. I had Bandit and Bonnie had Blaster.

Had very few problems handling the beasts. They're like large dogs. I took  Bandit up on our bluff and then descended down a mile or so east of the ranch. He seemed to handle the rough rocky terrain well but he was not as nimble as I thought he would be.

We walked the burros for a few hours then took them back down to the ranch to corral them.

We're shooting for early next week to begin our door to door canvassing with the burros.

Allen the itinerant evangelist from Texas who has joined with our mission discovered fresh bear tracks down below our encampment about 150' below the ridge line. So, we are being extra careful tonight to clean up our camp. But, we expect a night visit tonight.

Tomorrow Pastor Bill Robertson will be picking us up to attend Clear Creek Neighborhood Church service at 6pm.

A verse I came across this morning is " weeping for the night but joy cometh in the morning."

My cousin Bill Schoenbein passed away last Wednesday and a high school chum of mine also passed away a couple of days ago.

Death reminds us of the brevity and fragility of life. We only have a short time to accomplish what God has for us so remember that night draweth nigh.

God bless you all! Shalom!
