Done, Done, Done

With the threat of rain (70%) in the forecast, Workcrew #21 had to get “giggy with it” to get our home done. I told our guys if we could done by lunch (rain was approaching in the distance) I would take them to a place in Parkersburg called “Tim’s Root beer” and spring for root beer floats.

So we had our devo on the backporch as the rain started coming down. I gave an admonition to my workcrew to stay close to Jesus and to not allow fear to dominate their lives or their walks with the Lord.

The floats were good and I made it back to the campus of OVU by 3pm, a full one hour early. We appreciate your prayers and now on to final round of pics:

This is what happens when one paints all of the porch floor and then needs to make a somewhat graceful exit. The steps leading down from the porch had also been freshly painted. This is Phil holding on to Katie.

Our final devo on the backporch. These kids are great and they already have a deep faith that they put into action this week.

From top to bottom, Ryan, Jeff - fellow Crew Leader, and "Kat." Jeff and Kat were great to work with. I told Kat she is almost the perfect catch for some guy since she loves baseball and knows how to paint and shingle a roof. Her only flaw, she doesn't watch the Discovery Channel.

The finished product for Workcrew #21 just before the rain let loose.
A closer shot of my Workcrew, #21. I was so proud of these kids and the way they worked. Now its time for this old boy to head home and become a "slug" again. May God bless all of these kids and thanks again for your prayers.

Great to see that "Camp Ithiel" attitude spreading around WV.

See you back in slugdom, perhaps for a C&J's meeting or maybe some Majors golf.

Peace.
 
Looking good. What a great thing to do. Praise God. And thanks for the pics.
 
Being "done" is such a great feeling. Praise God for such a blessed week for you and yours.

(I thought it was "jiggy")
 
God's blessings on your return trip to Florida. Looks like another job well done, but aren't you getting a little old for this?
 
Great reports and pics! Thanks Cecil!
 
Very interesting and encouraging. I'm sure the young folks are blessed to have such Christ-centered mentors.
