As you can see it was just over 30 years ago that CSB Unit 3739 was started. On Sunday March 1st, they will be celebrating 30 years of CSB. For me this is awesome to see and especially cool because of what God has been doing through Battalion in my life and others in the last 15 years. I am planning to go to Grand Forks for this Sunday to join in the celebration. If any of you guys are interested in going to support our brothers in Grand Forks let me know and maybe we can get a bunch of guys together to go.

Winter Camping

Well the weekend was a blast. Sleeping in a snow cave is definitely an experience. The weather was awesome, great sun and warm both days. We even caught some fish. Anyway I posted some pictures on Facebook and HERE as well. The pictures from last year are in the same folder so you can compare if you want. Check it out. See you all tomorrow. Hopefully some of you have some verses to tell me.

As of right now Nicholas has 107 point and Matt has 105. Nice work guys, keep it up. You other guys get moving, you can do it.
