Can't tell you how many times I've heard it ..... but that saying has no meaning in Port Sulphur!  Not only is there humidity, but it's hot!!!  So it really doesn't matter!  :)

Ashley and I woke up not knowing exactly what would be on our "to do" lists today.  The Texas and Alabama teams working here this week have invited us to join in their meal times.  So breakfasat was much yummier than if we were in charge!

After breakfast we met with Pastor Lynn.  It wasn't long before Ashley latched onto some administrative tasks ---- researching mulch for the playground, designing VBS certificates and making a flyer advertising events for the next two weeks.  She got a lot of good info about the mulch options. She even explained the PS situation to one company and got them to give an additional discount!  And that design degree is coming in handy, too.  She is using the blueprints of the new sanctuary and helping determine where to put cabinets and appliances in the new kitchen. 

Pastor Lynn then asked me if I knew anything about painting!  They need to get the new kitchen painted, but didn't want to let a bunch of youth loose with rollers and paint until the edges were trimmed.  So it wasn't long before I found myself doing what I know how to do!  Paint brush in hand, I got that job done in no time at all. 

Just goes to show you that God brings who he needs when he needs them.  You just gotta be willing.

This evening was the end of day 4 of VBS.  There were about 50-60 kids present.  Hey, Melissa and Terry, they played wiffle ball and loaded the wiffle ball with shaving cream before each batter!  You might want to try that one next year!  Ashley and I spent the time working the crowd and drumming up business for the activities during the next two weeks.  She is soooooo good at befriending the kids.  Then she finds the most defiant, stand off-ish one and goes after them.  By the end of the night, they're dancing and hanging out together!  Amazing!!!

Hunter Hedrick, Laurel, Kyle Biggers and Mason ---- We have about 600 water balloons to fill!!  Wanna help?  Jamie, you can come too, but we want to use most of the 600 balloons.  We'll find another important job for you!!!

Gotta get ready for bed ......... until tomorrow .........
