Sorry about no posts while we were gone. We were so busy that I never really had time to update much of anything. I uploaded some Facebook pics from my phone every once and awhile but that has been it.
Gonna try to get stuff uploaded and posted later today.
Bottom line...BETTER THAN BLESSED BY BAMA!!! More later...

Last day at home - Bama Bound tomorrow :: Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Just gotta keep plugging along today. Finally took a break in the action around 3:30p to write out a list of the things I still need to do before my head hits the pillow tonight. It was a bit overwhelming...nothing like the pressure of the afternoon/evening before a trip.
Men's Bible Study tonight which is one thing I won't skip and it will be a welcomed "pause" in the hecticness. We should finish our study in 1 Timothy tonight and start prepping for "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan which is our next study. I've alreAdy read the book but will take it with me to start refreshing the story again.
Well, the tarp is on the truck and I need to go slide some more things underneath it and then hit the gas station to fill 'er up. "The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. And I have promises to keep. And miles to walk before I sleep." More later. Blessings.

Monday - August 8, 2011
Whew...so much to do and so little time left until we leave. EDT is 8a on Wednesday the 10th. Today has been tool day. Time to get things together so that we have the right tools for the work we are being asked to do. Trying to get a bunch of stuff done, while still getting work put to bed, has been a challenge today.
However, it was so awesome and uplifting to see the response from Facebook friends when I reached out for some additional gear for the trip. In less than 4 hours this morning, I had no less than 4 responses to my request for nail guns, compressors, and generators. I still had offers coming in during the afternoon which was just great. It proves the thoughtfullness and generosity of my friends and acquaintances. Y'all ROCK!!!
Also, donations have been piling up again. Kitchen wares, Gatorade, toasters, coffee makers, food, clothes, and Kroger gift cards are going to be headed to Bama in less than 36 hours. Thanks so much to all who have given from the heart...you know who you are.
Gotta go do some packing tonight so I'm outta here for tonight. God bless you all. More to come.

Monday - August 1, 2011
T-minus 10 days and counting.
Finalizing the list of guys going on the trip and figuring out vehicles, tools, donations, etc. The lady who has been helping me with answering all of my questions, lost her father to cancer last week and has been understandably busy elsewhere. Her friends have been trying to help me in her absence and so we continue to move forward.
Looks like 4 guys for sure at the moment and waiting to hear from 2 more. This trip will be such a blessing for everyone involved. I am especially happy, and proud, that my son Nick is going with me.
I allowed "old horn-head" to gain some footing and steal some of my joy last week by frustrating me with different hurdles but, thankfully, God helped me to recognize this and fight him off. Gotta remember that we are in constant combat against the forces of evil and can't drop our guard...not even for a moment.
Please pray for all of us and the trip.
Blessings!!!
