The Red Team. . . I have no words that can actually describe this group of servants. They are beyond awesome.
As we drove into the Devonshire St. worksite our "fresh team members" got to see National Gaurdsman and Police directing traffic into a FEMA distribution site. The folks affected by the storm are starting to recieve debit cards from FEMA and the Red Cross to help rebuild their lives. The line to the distribution site was long.
Talents . . . Jack using his IT Skills and also his hammer(not simultaneous). Glen physician and demo team leader. Paul Sale good with a crow bar and moving trash cans and being the roadmaster. Bob Hinton is a workhorse with lots of talent. Helen Hinton has been making a difference in the office, organizing. Brenda Smith took on warehouse organization. Jim Smith is working on facilities projects. Rose and Tina too on the sheetrock demo today with a flair. Oleta Sipes works and works (and has a great sense of humor). Brian Smith has a heart of Gold and does a great joke about Cal Trans(ask him about the Cal Trans Calendar). Lynn Couch is dilegent. Monte and Joan are a great team. Pam and Art are a great brother/sister combo. I thank God forletting me be on this team each moment.
Tonite six team members got to say good-bye to the group. I felt moisture on my cheeks as each of them talked about what an impression this place has made on them. It must have been dew or something 'cause real men don't show emotions do they? What a swirl of emotions tonite, missing family, laughing at stories of our team, sad for those who have lost most of what mattered to them except for family. I wish each of you could be here with me.
Its late, its time for bed, we have more adventures tomorrow.
Pray for us!
Buddy
