Making A Difference


As we go through life we never know what's coming down the tracks. We do know however we were all created for a purpose and are working at making a difference. 


On Tuesday it snowed. Making a difference is defined as having an effect on something or someone.



On Friday we had a thunderstorm and hail. Our examples outlive our achievements.
Ten years ago these were young teenage friends in high school. Today they have families of their own. Friday evening they took their 4-wheelers out for a get together before a busy spring.


Dr. Tim and his medical student finished their surgery schedule early so they went out for a tenderloin together and then came to see a farm. Sie(See) immigrated from Vietnam when he was eight and grew up out east where there are no farms. Being a mentor rather than just an instructor makes a difference.




Last evening was the Cattleman's Banquet. Being part of an organization that promotes a cause or product that you believe in makes a difference. 


Dr. Mark straightens me out if I lift more than I'm rated for. Doctors are used to make a difference as they help people.
An effective pastor has a selfless job. Besides being a husband, father, friend, and son-in-law, a pastor is always making a difference in the lives of others.

Speaking of pastors Mark has a congregation of 35 members. Last year believing he could make a difference and believing in a cause he ran for county supervisor and was successful by just 20 votes winning over the establishment and a former state senator.


Sam came to visit and wants a chance to make a difference in Washington. He is running for a US Senate seat.


We were privileged to spend an evening with a friend this past week. God has used Rick to make a difference in our country over the years.


Grandmas enjoy making a difference. This Grandma does an awesome job of helping out in lots of ways when needed.


 Kathy is a friend and fellow worker at a crop retail outlet who we help. She definitely makes a difference where she works. Below she is getting to know Jackson, Kurt and Emily's little guy.





About twelve years ago our family incorporated it's custom work business. Back then I thought about what we wanted to accomplish. God had given us work, help, abilities, and resources. Obviously we wanted to support our families. However we are also called to have an effect on others. Below is BCF's mission statement.  
The goal for our family partnership is to be respected in our community and trusted by the people we work for. Our mission is to give full effort, be cutting edge, not scared of responsibility, and care about others. If we Care more than others think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical, Expect more than others think is possible, and Give God the glory for our accomplishments, we will make a difference.
