The Wood Cutters

This last weekend,October 12,Shawn Trainer, Jeff Jeanotte and I went up to Tuliby lake to cut some wood. The weather was perfect. Nice fall day to be in the woods. In conversations with one of the land owners, we were told about an awesome pile of spruce that was all piled up beside the road. All we had to do is cut it and split it. How nice and easy could it be? Two trees, two chainsaws, two pickups, one axe, and three hours later we had all the wood we could handle. It was a fun time with the boys, playing with our manly toys. In the end, we didn't need all that wood so we decided to donate it to a family in our Branch. That was a good feeling as the family members came out and thanked us for all the fire wood. I haven't done something that gratifying in along time. I don't know the extend to which they needed it, but it can help them heat their house this winter and save some money. I am grateful for opportunities to serve, it truly brings me closer to God.
