As suspected… there probably will be less video and pictures in the coming days. This always happens, and it’s a good thing. James, our primary photographer, has gone from a newbie of wonder, to now a newbie of wanting to work… That’s a good thing. Team was split all over the place working on different …
Devotional After a morning devotional by Gary H, we’re on our way. He taught about how running a mile under 4 minutes mile was once considered an impossible feat, but since it has been broken, has been passed at least 18 times. His encouragement was that somethings that once were extraordinary slightly more commonplace and …
Saw our old friends Brad and Paul…it was like coming back to family. Brad greeted us with a big hand painted banner, and a trumpet blare of questionable skill. It was a great way to start the week. We’re working on a special kind of house. Habitat has always wanted to use energy efficient options …
We’re in one of our 3 mini vans on our way back from Bop’s, having gone out to put a frozen custard end to a long day. James was chatting it up with the worker there, shooting some footage of the secret world of frozen custard. After our orientation, a lunch at a new place, …

Pam! This is the first year Pam will be coming to Mississippi. But she’s been part of our support team as wife to Art, and friend/supporter to many.

Mosaic After our night at Antioch, we left right after breakfast to attend Mosaic. When we arrived, we saw best bud Brad (in his “Newsies” outfit–sorry Brad, but we gotta call it as we see it…) Although half of us had only been here once, the week before, it seemed almost like home. Matt, who …

New Life Goodbye What a way to wrap up the week(s) We had a bittersweet goodbye with Ken, from New Life Christian. We joked, praised and prayed, but soon had to be off for our last work day. We left our accommodations and home for the last couple weeks, and hit the road for Pascagoula. …
For those of you who care about the technical stuff (i.e. the CoEd team that can more clearly visualize what we’re up to..) There were four teams today. a) Green Front Porch crew: Mo, Tom, Ron working with Deniseb) Green house drywall: Jeff L, James, Craig, Richard, Kellyc) Blue House siding: Gary, Chris, Tommy, Roy, …
It’s day 2 on the work site with this team. You get to have just a glimmer of what it must be like to see teams come and go. Brad, Denise et al are greeting and acclamating to the new crew, and you realize just how good they are at it, much less adapting work …
