Got a well!

So I had Ballard Water Well out of Willis, TX out yesterday and today. We have (finally) installed the well. It dried up enough to get the truck half off the driveway and the well was dug. Here's a picture of one of the trucks.

Unfortunately I wasn't here at home while the digging was going on. I had to work. But afterwards, the next day they came out to set the tank up on a little slab thing and we told them to hook up the electric for us. We got some pretty cool deals that I won't go into details here.

I was told that at around 80 feet down they hit water, and they drilled to the bottom of that which ended up being 160 ft. My dad's well is right next door and his is at 175 and he thinks the water started right around the same depth as mine. His land is lower in altitude by a few feet only though so...

My tank is about is high as I am. So I'll always have quite a bit of water on hand for a good amount of pressure. I have one more step, a septic, and then I can start on my real house.

In search of the true church

You can only be of two christian faiths. Catholics and Mormons. These are the only 2 churches that claim to have a true, unbroken chain of command back to Jesus Christ himself.

The Bible teaches that true authority must be passed from Christ to his apostles to the rest of the church.

18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

This all means that authority is needed. Proper channels of righteous people.

This is where Catholics come from. And they can trace their authority all the way back.

All break away churches belive that Catholics slowly started changing over the centuries and are no longer following the true teachings and lessons of Christ as it was established. (I've posted slightly earlier about how the natural course of things, if man is the only leader, is that things will become corrupted. It won't stay pure.) They believed that the church was wrong and so they started thier own church in the effort to reestablish the true doctrine. The problem with this course of action is that if you believe the original was wrong and then you broke away then you must also be wrong. You didn't start with the proper authority. Though your intentions were good its still not sanctioned by God himself. So the inevitable chain of action will lead to corruption.

If you believe that catholics are right then all others must still be wrong. So in both cases all reformed versions of faith are wrong. Only the original can be right, and that's only half of the scenario.

The Mormons believe that the truth was lost through the evil intentions of man. They changed what was established without divine authority and therefore perverted the truth.

So Joseph asked about what to do about this problem. The Lord reestablished the church in its former glory through him. He gave his sanction to the young prophet. The mormons are the only Christian fath that teach and believe this doctrine.

Mormons we given the authority through the laying on of hands by a resurrected Peter and James, and a Translated John (not yet perfected in his body to never be seperated, but only temporarily translated until the resurection of the millenium).

So as you can see here. To be Christian is to either be Catholic or Mormon. There is no other right choice, unless you think there is no right choice at all within Christianity, but that's a whole other topic.

Most people, this author included, think and understand that we are in the fullness of times. If we have need of revelation it is now. We can not get by with a silent heaven.
