Sleepy Saturday

I have been so sleepy today! Maybe because I started my day unloading matressess and box springs off of an eighteen wheeler! We had a good bit of help, though. Four guys came from McPhereson, KS just to check out our operation and prepare for a trip in March. They were privileged to help us unload the truck. Maybe they'll still come in March! As usual, whenever you get started on one project, you find another. Some men were putting in our new central a/c and heat unit when they discovered some rotten flooring underneath the old unit. No real surprise to me, there. Also they couldn't get to the gas connection to cap it off without pulling up some flooring. And it was late in the day. So they left. We now have a big hole in the floor to the ground under the house where the old unit was. We also have no gas. We do have a gas hot water heater. It's going to be chilly getting bathed for church tomorrow. There are ten students from Mississippi State University that arrived today. We asked them to clean up the rooms where people have been sleeping (I said very sternly, 'Clean your rooms!'). Then they went out and helped David with some organizational work. Today I got an e-mail from Terry Rush. It seems that the Memorial Drive Church of Christ in Tulsa, Oklahoma is going to give us a Merry Christmas by replacing our dishwasher, lawn mower, and leaf blower. Isn't that awesome? We just feel that God's big family has wrapped its arms around us in a wonderful spirit of love! Well, I'm still sleepy and maybe I'll sleep well tonight and be refreshed for tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!
