Once again, we’ll have more videos when we have more time to edit them, but we’ll give you what we’ve got for now 🙂
What are you thankful for today?
Peter – I am thankful not only for a hot shower, but also a place to come back to after work. After seeing the WLOX movie last night about Katrina, I am thankful for my life after seeing all the destruction and lives lost in the hurricane.
Jonathan – I am thankful that the weather is not hot, it was cooler and cloudy and made the work day bearable.
Bryan – I am thankful that Gary stepped in, saving my witness and made me gave in to Greg.
Tommy – I am thankful that God answered Lifesong’s prayer for cloud cover.
Craig W. – I was thankful for a good night’s sleep due to Keith’s earplugs.
Craig — I am thankful for the opportunity to pray for Calvin, a Habitat Staffer who visited the job site today.
Kelly – I am thankful that our Americorps worker Tommy took our advice and went to the doctor and so I was able to take some time to teach some of the new guys new skills like sawing and hammering.
Gary – I am thankful to be able to work with such dedicated and caring guys.
Jeff – I am thankful for being around a lot of faithful men.
Keith – I made it safely across the new Biloxi bridge.Kaji – I am thankful for prayer and the power of Prayer. The Lifesong people have been praying for good weather and we have been blessed with wonderful weather.
Videos and Pics
Oh, and the Bu-Cam. The Bu-Cam is shared among several of the guys, but even the one Bu-Cam entry we have today takes 4 hours to upload (put onto youtube), so we may not get to them (all) when we’re in Biloxi.
Oh-Special Note of thanks to Gary, Jonathan for helping with the blog. Asking question of the day, and filming video and shooting pics (as well as some of the other guys). It’s been yet another way we’ve had a team effort.
Quickie update-one of the many ways we’re able to try and best represent you, our supporters, our church, and our God is to try to give the hope of God to some people.
Team leader Craig made an interesting connection with a Habitat staff member today.
After speaking to him for a few minutes, we found the staff member had actually started life in South Central L.A. After the violent death of a gang member friend, his mother sent him out of state, eventually finding himself in the Gulf Port area. After serving some time, he gave his life to God, and today is trying to have an impact on youth, especially those at risk.
Craig was able to pray for and encourage him today.
There are many stories, large and small. There are many reasons why we are here to serve. We’ll try and let you know of some of them as we can, but we look forward to sharing with you even more when we return.
