Today was a work day and work we did. Pulling up plywood flooring, fixing a hole in the roof, some yard work, and "trimming" a dead tree. We had the delight and privilege of meeting, working, and eating with Pastor Malcolm Collins. As with so many of our trips, some of us got to know power tools and learned some new skills - including the skill of patience in waiting. (If anyone has to pick something up at the Lowe's on Elysian Fields please send Cam, Cam & Mike home - we think they are still waiting in line there) At the end of this day, we are all quite exhausted, we've had our time of devotion, prayer, and reviewing the day...and we're still disturbed - disturbed that New Orleans is (18 months later) still in the process of trying to begin to rebuild - disturbed that violence is infesting a city and neighbourhoods and it seems to be taken for granted by everyone but the people who it affects the most - disturbed that the little we can do for the very short time we are here is so very little when so much is needed. But we are here, and so very glad we are here and as one of us mentioned, we do know the truth. We'll try to do our small part as Jesus hands and feet (and backs & muscle)
