Home Again. . . .

Oct. 15, 2005 . . .

The Mission to Slidell is getting close to finishing. Last night at midnight I knocked on the door and found the loving arms of Krista. Man O Man the hugs and kisses felt good. I almost pulled off the suprize. Upon arrival in SFO I had some frantic voicemails very concerned about my whereabouts. Krista was relieved to know that I was only an hour from home.

Team Red is an awesome group. We mucked houses, cooked breakfast and drove tractors like no other team has ever done. (my own biased opinion).

Next time? You bet! Spreading God's Hope through personal touch ministry is touching and awe inspiring. Seeing God work through crow bars, hammers, respirators, safety glasses and conversation with the owners of devasted homes is a humbling site to behold.

The most impressive part of Team Red is that each member always did what ever tasked they were asked and then went the extra-mile to make sure nothing was left out or left behind. Team Red stayed focused and remembered that it was not all about the muck and breaking out of sheet rock, but remembered the task was to be light for Christ. To Team Red, each and everyone of you, Thank you ! Thank you !

Time now to spend time with Matthew(Krista was called in to work).

Remember to pray for the drive team with the trailer, Ron and Max are finishing out our team's task by bringing home the cargo trailer and Darren's truck
