Of course with PT injured and Scotty doing something with the Marines, I was in desperate need of some help to pick up and deliver the used refrigerator we purchased for St. George’s. So, as I explored my options, I came to the conclusion that my best bet would be the finely tuned college athlete who lives with us (my daughter Stephanie) and Molly, Scotty’s girlfriend, who is really not afraid of him at all. And I figured that would be a pretty awesome crew.
And in fact, I was MORE THAN RIGHT. It turned out to be most probably the easiest move of anything that I have had in my entire life. They had fun, were very matter of fact about getting it done, and were quite surprised at the end that we were finished. My only regret was that I had nothing else to move.
But it really signified something that happens at most of the churches that we plant. People come in to help (our family always does) who may not attend there at all in the future. They do it because they believe in what we are doing. And that type of personal (and mostly nameless) gift is contagious. It was a pretty cool afternoon, and I was blessed to be a part!
So tomorrow I will return to St. George’s and finish the kitchen in the afternoon. Then there will be very little more to do. Our first Open House is a week from today from 1-4pm. I can hardly wait!!
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
