    He's still looking around for a calendar. Someone should send him an old FHC calendar.

    Hey everyone. I am sorry I haven't kept everyone up to date about this wood cutting day. With the rain, some equipment repairs and had more than a few trees donated to the wood ministry that we had to get cut up and hauled back here Ive dropped the ball. With that said, I am having the wood cutting day on Saturday May 11th. There will be about 4 and 1/2 triaxles of wood here to cut. I will have them stacked in 3 separate piles and if we have 2 people cutting per each side of the piles we can have 12 people cutting at once. Last time we did this we had numerous people here from my church helping to cut, split and stack, but honestly I think it created a little chaos. So, this time it is just going to be you wood cutting crazies doing what you do best, cut firewood. I just want to make sure you guys get to cut because it is you who is donating your time to help this ministry so I want you to be able to cut as much and as long as you'd like. Depending on how long everyone is here my wife and I will provided all the water and drinks you want and we will provide lunch. If others stay longer or you can't come until the afternoon and cut to late afternoon or evening will also provide dinner. As far as what time this gets started, well that's up to you individually. I will be up by 7AM, sop you all come when it is convenient to you. Thank you all for your interest.

    May 11 I won’t be able to make. Boss at the bike shop asked me to cover for him to watch his daughter graduate college. Y’all have a great and safe day. Hope the weather cooperates. We’re off to another wet start this year!
