Sometimes I think my time at Fruitland has been an exercise in despair. I don't know about everyone but I have noticed among the fruitalnd family that the big moment of discouragement seems to come along abut the 202 or 301 quarter. Right in the middle of everything. It seems that discouragement and spiritual famine go hand in hand. I have realized that discouragement seems to come at the times when I am not in the Word and not in proper relationship with God.
