MEC Conference Champions

The photo was taken last Saturday night after the Cameron Dragon wrestling team claimed the schools first MEC (Midland Empire Conference) Conference Title. This was totally an unexpected surprise...The team finished dead last in the 2009 tournament with many of this team composed of last seasons squad(there are no seniors on the squad this year). I am thankful for the disappointments in my life because I know that God is using them to keep me humble as he continues to mold me into the man He desire me to become. I give Him all credit for this awesome honor he has allow me to be a part of.

"Proud" To Have Mike Here

Our Winter Bible Study this year has been on the parables found in the book of Matthew. Leading this study has been our former pastor, Dr. Mike Proud. Our study began Sunday morning, evening, tonight, and will conclude tomorrow night. Mike is the pastor at Arbor Christian Fellowship, Lake Forest, California. This man will always have a very special place in my heart...Not because he once was my pastor (though that is reason enough), but because he is the one God chose to lead me to true repentance and surrender of my will to the Will of God. He is one of the few "Paul's" (some one that mentors you as a true believer) in my life. It has been a great joy for me to get to renew our friendship and listen to the in depth study of Jesus' parables.

Piling Up And Drifting...Did I Mention The Cold?

A view of our street this afternoon...Our mailbox on the right.

The snow keeps piling up and now with 25 mph winds, the drifts keep coming back. The next three days the temperatures predicted are in the single digits

and the windchill factor 20 to 30 below zero.

The Paperwork Is Done

With help from my friend Roseann (retired last year), my paperwork is ready to be mailed to the PSRS of Missouri. If all is filled out correctly, the only thing left to do is turn in my letter to my principal.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Shivers

At 7:30 am this morning this was the temperature outside, not counting the windchill. Our high here today is supposed to be a balmy 12 degrees F. In case you are confused, I am talking about the top number. According to our weather man, we are supposed to get snow tomorrow and Thursday with highs in the single digits...Spring can't get here to soon!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

It was a balmy 34 degrees F yesterday with some sunshine...But the next few days are a far cry from yesterday's temps. All the paved surfaces were melted, sidewalks, driveways, and streets...This morning they are skating surfaces The seven day outlook is for highs in the mid-twenty's and lows in the single digits...Oh boy!

Diggin Out

Well the depth of snow in our driveway is in the first two photos. When I got to the end of the driveway, there was approximately 7'-8' to the path going down the street. At that point my friend (Mr. Carr our neighbor across the street) came to my rescue with his snow blower...a few minutes he was rescued by Mr. Hoppenthaler in a Bobcat with a scoop. With in 5 minutes the drive was clear to the street. How thankful I am for friends that are willing to lend a helping hand.
