Another good day with lots of progress.
Started the day off by receiving a shipment of office furniture donations. We were happy to accept some office desks, chairs, bookcases and student desks. Some were placed in position and others were put in the unfinished parts of our ministry center. All in all...a great blessing! Thanks Lord for how you blessed us today.
Next, we loaded a trailer full of pallets that we gathered in the post-flood ministry center. We found a place that accepts them and even pays you a small amount for each one. Each pallet gets a rating: A, B or C. David, PJP and myself worked on this project the rest of the morning. We enjoyed a nice ride down to Butlerville and found a place I would call "pallet heaven!" This place built zillions of them. Would you believe that they cut a check to us for almost $200? Praise God...I bet you know where it's going! That's right, the Flood Fund! Thanks Lord!
On the way back I checked on the company that is doing a complete makeover on our Information Center. They're doing a bang-up job. It really is going to be an attractive and user-friendly piece for our Welcome Center back @ CFA. Can't wait to get it delivered and set up real soon.
Guess what? No carpet action today. No one showed up to work. They are getting further and further behind! The sound guys couldn't believe it either when they arrived...
What we did do was to move everything out of the foyer area to prepare for carpet installation in that zone tomorrow. That meant moving things back to where they came from, as well as juggling things into other areas. I'll be glad when everything is all settled and found a place to rest.
Drove to Hope to attend a visitation in the funeral home. Will be conducting a funeral there in the morning. Lord use me to bring comfort and hope to those who will attend!
Then I went to Indy to attend a training session for all those who work at Aramark events. Since I do this for my son's marching band fundraising events, I was signed up to participate. The Conseco Fieldhouse was the location...that's where the Pacers play.
Came home late tonight and am exhausted. The days appear to be getting longer...or is it just me?
Will post a few pics for you tonight.
Love to all.

Wow! What a busy day for you! I can't believe they didn't get any carpet down today - how frustrating! Looks like you still had your hands full with tasks to complete today - that's for sure! Stay encouraged Pastor!

I know it is frustrating at the "lack of urgency" the carpet company is showing, but it will work out. GOD'S GOT IT!!! You are VERY appreciated. Much love and prayers. Shawn
