Job 9:1-35 

“God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.

If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together.

The mediator could make God stop beating me, and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment.

Then I could speak to him without fear, but I cannot do that in my own strength." (Job 9:32–35)

John 4:24

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

Job 3:1-26

Every person reading this chapter has been the recipient of bad advice. You listened as someone gave it to you. You followed the counsel you received and then suffered the consequences. We have all benefited from someone's good advice too. We were unsure and confused, so we reached out to somebody we trusted. We received good counsel, followed the advice, and enjoyed the benefits.

On Friday afternoon, Jan. 26, a back country skier fell to his death while climbing Temple Mountain in Banff National Park.

Lake Louise RCMP were called at 4:35 p.m. and Parks Canada visitor safety and emergency crews then headed to the scene.

Once they arrived, they found a deceased adult male who the RCMP report as looking like he fell while climbing the Aemmer Coulier.

The skier has been identified as a 32-year-old man from Saskatchewan. His name has not been released but next of kin have been notified.

Job 3:1–26

There are times when others' words only make our troubles worse. That may seem too elementary to mention, so why would I? Well, have you learned it? Are you still listening to everybody? If so, it's small wonder that you're confused.

There are times when God's ways only make us more confused. There, I've said it. I've been wanting to say that all through this chapter, and I finally worked up the courage. My point? Don't expect to understand everything that happens when it occurs.

Ephesians 6:12-13

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

The event formerly known as FarmTech is a collaboration of the Alberta Canola, Alberta Grains, and Alberta Pulse Commissions.

Committee Chair Todd Hames says this year's event focuses on "New Ideas and Directions" with presentations on innovation and sustainability, agriculture policy and farm management.

"We're trying to create that environment to have speakers, that encourage conversation and ideas. Then have opportunities during the program to network and share those ideas and thoughts and have the discussion."

With Parks Canada having launched its reservations for the 2024 visitor season, the first day of reservations opening for sites in Alberta, saw 7,453 reservations.

"As sites like Banff and Jasper open for reservation over the coming days, it is expected this number will increase," Megan Hope, with Parks Canada Media Relations, wrote in an email. "It is important to note that approximately 50 per cent of the reservations our visitors make are made less than 30 days before the camping date. Visitors are encouraged to check the site often for openings."

The province is opening up the 2023 Canada-Alberta Drought Livestock Assistance initiative to more producers. 

Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson says they have expanded the program to include 23 new regions.

“I’m pleased Alberta’s government was able to work with the federal government to expand this financial support to additional regions impacted by severe drought and extreme heat conditions. I will continue to look out for the interests of our hard-working livestock producers.”
