Over the Hump



Well, we moved past the hump and are into the home stretch. Yesterday turned out to be frustrating on many fronts from a project perspective, but God allowed other things to move forward.

One crew continued work on the fence at Bob’s house, but were met with challenges in terms of very hard ground, lack of reference to property lines, etc. They will be returning this morning to continue setting posts. The demolition in the Barber Shop was completed, and the third dumpster is now filled. Tile work was slowed due to very slow drying of the thinset, and grouting is scheduled for this morning. We’ll continue working on other projects within the Fellowship Hall, and may also start some drywall work a few blocks away for Rev. Landry on a shotgun house that’s will house free childcare for single women seeking to get into the workplace.

Some of us were able to head to the Projects last nite to join Urban Impact in games and activities there. Smiles on both sides were plentiful.

We also made a scenic tour of the Garden District, under the title of looking for ice cream. While Creole Creamery wasn’t found, Baskin Robins sure was the perfect treat.

God’s been very good to us…Everyday!
