Darkness Before the Dawn
Genesis 40:20–41:1
The process of discovering, processing, purifying, and shaping gold is a lengthy, painstaking process. Affliction is gold in the making for the child of God, and God is the one who determines how long the process takes. He alone is the Refiner.
This is where Joseph was when we left him. He is still in process. His gold is still being refined. His heart is still being broken by affliction and abandonment.
Verse of the day: February 4
Psalm 18:1-2
"I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

New technology helps determine plant stand counts
Agricultural technology is changing at a rapid pace.
Croptimistic Technology out of Saskatoon has developed a new system that gives producers a more accurate way to determine plant stand counts.
The SWATcam Technology is mounted to each sprayer boom, the camera then captures images every 50 to 70 feet as it moves through the field.
The camera is high resolution and zooms right in on the target site providing more detail than a satellite image would.
Derek Rude, vice-president of research and development says the data capture is non-biased.
