Please be in prayer for my family. We will be going to visit my folks this weekend so that they can see our kids before they move to KY, and there will be other family members there with whom we have conflict.

Some major changes for my wife and me.

Seven weeks ago I had accepted a call to serve as pastor at a congregation in southern California (in the mountains, no smog, no traffic, etc.). We have been packing, and on July 26, we will load the rental truck and put the car on the carrier and begin the trek across country. (This is our 28th move in 40 years of marriage, so been there, done that.)

Oh, and I will still serve as Seminary President and teach classes.

So, you may not see me around for a month or more as we move, settle in, and begin a new ministry.

Big Bear, Idllwild, Wildwood or Julian? Then again, I can't think of which I'd like more. Big Bear/Arrowhead is nice as they have all the conveniences. Still, one has to come down off the mountain sometimes and that rat race is waiting when you do.


Well, welcome to the PSSRC! You will soon know the joys of living in a demi-communist oligarchy. Still, sometimes the people win a score against the politboro. LOL, like denying them their wages till they balance the budget. It worked beautifully, as all we were really trying to do is get a budget, any budget, passed.


Well, if the Lord is uncommonly generous with me, I just might have four horses this fall. All of this depends on weather my cash crop comes in. So far, the weird weather is adversely affecting it.
LOL, I'm looking forward to all the chores and most of all, BABIES! Well, foals anyway. I'm also hoping to have the mares A.I.ed before bringing them home. Hopefully the Fresno U. Hackney project will cooperate with me.



First it's blisteringly hot, then it's cold and damp. Go figure. Add to that, my back has been out the past week which is not a good thing for Truck Farming.
I've been hobbling around here looking like I'm eighty or ninety, all hunched over and bent to the right. Still, was able to get a few things done. I found some Naproxen left over and it did the trick. I'm upright and straightened out again. Duuuuude, gotta love those drugs man!
LOL, anyway, they helped get me going again. Only had to take it for about three days and haven't had it for two now and still functioning. Sore, yes, but still funtional. Got a lot (very carefully) done yesterday.

Frazier Park (west of the north end of the Grapevine)

Nice, very nice place. Close to Santa Paula and Ohai at the southern boundry of Tehon Ranch. I've been through there a zillion times and never knew that there was a seminary there! Gosh, one learns something every day. C'mon though, mountians? LOL, foothills maybe. Still, what a wonderful location! Congrats again, agin!

The seminary is wherever we are, since it is all virtual. We have one professor in Maryland and another in Ohio and me in Missouri now to be California.

Frazier Park is part of Los Padres National Forest. Granted, compared to the Sierra Nevada, yeah, these are foothills. But, we will be living at 5,000 ft (which is more than foothills), near the base of Mt. Pinos (8,847 ft), which is the highest peak in Los Padres. Also in 8 miles it drops about 4,500 ft to get to the Bakersfield floor.

I helped admit a guy to the ICU today in septic shock. The really sad thing is, he was on the surgery service for a couple days and was discharged because he didn't need surgery - with a documented fever and very high white count, on no antibiotics.

Absolutely ridiculous. I hope they get taken to task.

So that doesn't only happen within the NHS then.

Do you think things like that are the result of poorly trained staff or is the nurse shortage over-hyped a bit?

I hope the gentleman recovers soon.

It wasn't a nursing problem - the nurses were great.

Apparently it's a problem with the surgeons on staff here - it seems this isn't the first time this has happened.

Well, I stand corrected. Aparently, that little dab of Frazier Park along the Five is not actually part of town. Also, you beat me by two thousand feet.
