Pastor Danley's Home In Progress

Hi Everyone!

I have had the most terrific day!! But I have been helping to construct Pastor Danley's new house since 5:00am -- I am exhausted. We have to be up at 5:00am again tomorrow so we can have the house complete by 8:00am when his soon-to-be-bride will show up for church and we will surprise her with her new home.

Charly from Mississippi (pictured above in the truck) is 68 years old and will tell you that you have to get up a day ahead of him just to keep up. He's not joking. This man is a dynamo and genius of construction and design who has taken one of our transitional shelters and kicked it up a notch by modifying it into a permanent home with windows, a real door, termite protection for the wood and a rock-hard floor. The interior features shelving, a place to hang clothes, and even a queen-sized bed (fashioned from what ws originally designed as bunk beds for families with children - how ingenious is that?) I am learning at the feet of a master. The Danleys will be able to call this place home for a long time.

Our whole team worked on this place all day and into the night. I'm really tired so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves tonight. I can't wait to see Pastor Danley's and his fiancee's faces tomorrow when we unveil God's wedding gift!

Falling Into Blissful Sleep,
