This is odd...

Okay so this is a bit random and I know I said I was going to work on papers, but it is not everyday you see a pair of giant feet sitting on the side of the road. Especially a pair of feet that is for sale.

Writer's Block

The next few weeks here around Lakeshore look busy and Lord willing we'll be getting much accomplished. However, due to the amount of work here at the church I am going to need to take pretty much every other free moment during the days and evenings to work on a couple of papers for my Systematic Theology class. The Lord has given me the opportunity to take this class and I want to be a good steward of the time that I do have to learn all that I can in this class and apply that to writing my papers. So all that to say, if there is a lull around my blog that's the reason. Lord willing I will be posting a few pictures here and there over the next couple of weeks. And when I finish with the papers (or if the due date comes first) I plan to give a little bit of a personal update. But that will have to wait until I have a little extra time to write.

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

As I consider the words of the hymn Hallelujah! What a Savior I cannot help but rejoice in the Son of God. Who came to this earth and was obedient unto death, though despised and forsaken by men. Then bearing my sin he died upon the cross, pardoning me. And only because of His great mercy will I not face the wrath of God, which I rightly deserve for my sins against the Holy God.

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Philip Bliss

Man of Sorrows! What a name
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! Can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Full force ahead

After some unforseen delays, work at Mr. Shermans continued this week. A group from Mt. Harmony Baptist Church in Riceville, TN and ladies from Women at the Well worked at getting the sheeting on the roof.

The Mt. Harmony group was one of several groups that served in Lakeshore this week, in fact this week 95 people worked at 14 or more different homes in the community. Praise God, He continues to turn people's hearts to the Gulf Coast and that folks can continue to go into the community and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pslam 127:1-2

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Trinity Baptist at Mr. George's

A group from Trinity Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, LA had spent several Saturdays serving tirelessly at Mr. George's trailer. They've been getting the finishing touching on the drywall and spending time painting the walls and getting things ready for the next step.

Work at Ms. Jewel's

Teams continue to flow into Lakeshore and into the homes of folks in the community. One home that we have been working on is the home of Ms. Jewel. We started working at here house a couple of months ago. A couple weeks ago we sent a team from Richfield Springs Bible Church in New York into to mud and sand the sheet rock and then into paint. This week a team from Kimberlin Creek Baptist Church in Indiana worked on making a couple repairs to the deck and to put up the siding on the house.
