Quips & Quotes

“It is only by following your deepest instinct that you can lead a rich life, and if you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, expedient and thin.”

On My Way Home Today

After a week of some really back breaking work partially gutting flooding homes, I am homeward bound, back to Colorado. New pics uploaded. Enjoy them and please make comment. I have included a PayPal button on the left side bar if you can donate to my travel expenses. I plan to go back! This type of project seems to be in my blood!

Tuesday 4/14

Today, I got sick. Monday I was draing from my nose and sniffles. I think it was just a typical head cold that takes my by storm and I don’t get over it but by going to the dr. and getting an antibiotic. So, I went at 3:30 pm to ge patched up. But I am still miserable now. I wonder if if was affected by mold and flood water, even though I tried to wear the mask but it makes my glasses fog up. Pray that I will sleep well tonite and begin healing.

Monday Morning

I slept much better on a single sized air mattress last night. But I am carrying around a sore throat today. I pray that I am not getting a cold. Yuck! It is too miserable to slop around in the mud and getting wet to have a cold.

Saturday Night

I have been wasting a lot of time trying to get a mp3 file upload for you all to listen to. I’ll come back to that later.

As I explained earlier, there are several disaster ministries working here in Linton. But what is more amazing is the hospitallity and the community at large. The local Catholic Church is headquarters. We use their basement hall for a lunchroom and meeting room. The parish priest gave up all of the rooms in the rectory except his own bedroom, plus, they closed the small school on the same grounds to use as “bunk house.” There is a shower trailer for us to use and cots to use. The school house has a game room with a pool table and a foosball table.

I arrived here about noon and went to the courthouse to find out where I go to work. First of all, I was shown where I could get a sandwhich and I followed Bernadette to the job site. Interestingly, Franklin Grahmn’s Samaritan’s Purse is here on the same lot with the Operation Blessing folks working along side each other! They are sharing resources! Listen church!
