CampRestore

Came down Tuesday to camp restore in New Orleans. The devestation is immense. And the home that aren't even gutted. There's piles of garbage in one yard and in another yard, there's a picture of hope as the grass is cut and the mold is ripped out from the insides and drywall is screwed in. It's truly amazing to see the swath of devastation and the glimpses of new builds happening.

Right now, my team is working on putting up sheetrock for a duplex. We're having fun but we're also humbled and amazed by the immense work that it will take to get houses to look like habitable dwellings.

Wow.

Whoops

Ok, sorry folks. I haven't updated my blog in a long long time. I'm away at a conference in Atlanta, GA and the link is below. Check it out! It's cool. And, I'm in the Guinness Book of World Records (we had to blow bubbles and throw frisbees all at the same time). Of course, I'm learning tons more than coordinating a wand full of soap and a little plastic disk. Great speakers and awesome, rockin music! They even played I Saw the Light which is a song we play at church a time or two.

Great places to eat too. Last night, my wife and I went to a sushi bar called Blue Fin. They prepared the sushi right in front of you and when you eat it, it just melts in your mouth. Yummo.

More later...
