Home AT Last . . .

We rolled into Modesto tonight at 10:00 pm. A conclusion to the past couple of weeks helping people rebuild their lives. We arrived about five hours later than anticipated, bad planning on my part for not checking the trailer tires, a blowout on the R.V. etc. God took care of us and got us home safe and sound.

For those that are wondering the foot is healing very well. Most of the soreness is gone and there is no swelling. I have been trying to follow Doctors orders and stay off of it and I am taking my antibiotics.

Two items I wanted to mention about the Ramona Response:

1. At lot # 48 Krista found a nativity scene character fully intact and unblemished. It was a ceramic baby Jesus. The baby Jesus made it through the fire and arose out of the ashes to be used by its owner again. Jesus can endure in lives of everyone no matter what trial they are faced with.

2. At lot# 5 Christie Sipes found a ceramic cross in pristine condition and gave it back to Peter the friend of home owner. His comment, "The Cross survived, just like it has for all these years."

The reason we went to Ramona was to represent Christ. Christ was already there and working, I am glad he allowed all of us who were on the team to work for him for a few days.

Mark your calendars for the second weekend in December. If there is work still there, we will return to Ramona!
