Chilly Friday

It's been fairly chilly on the Coast the past few days, just like it has been in the rest of the country. We are gearing up for a pretty good weekend. Three guys from McPhereson, KS are due to arrive sometime today. They will survey the situation here and plan for a trip back in early 2006. We have a truck to unload early in the morning (any helpers ... it's 8:00 a.m. ... we need you!). Some students from Mississippi State University will be here later in the day. We plan to help get a house cleaned out that hasn't been touched yet - bad story that I'll share later. We are also beginning preparations for our Good News Nights with Marvin Phillips next Monday - Wednesday. NEEDS: We are in need of donated sheetrock, sheetrocking materials, and shingles at this time. We have some crews coming in the next four weeks that will be able to put these to good use. If anyone has a source and can get some of these donated, please get in touch with me (contact info on www.123Jesus.com). On a personal note, our living room floor is now almost completely installed. Which room next? I don't know but it looks great. Heat / ac unit is to be installed tomorrow. We also got some wrapped Christmas presents from Andy and Kelli in Nashville today. If we get our living room floor finished maybe we can get a tree and place those gifts under it. Thanks, Andy and Kelli, for your thoughtfulness. My Aunt Sissy was asked by her husband, Uncle Mickey, what she wanted for Christmas. She told him she wanted to send us a check. So that came in the mail yesterday. Also a very nice gift from Donna G. We really do feel so blessed ... more than we deserve ... and no matter how often it happens, we just continue to be amazed that God is working through so many people to bless us. US? It reminds me of a song. I don't know why Jesus loves me, I don't know why He cares. I don't know why He sacrificed His life, Oh but I'm glad, so glad He did. Thank you, friends.
