APPRECIATED....that's how we feel! We have finished our three weeks of work here at Horton Haven Christian Camp, and they have certainly let us know how much our efforts have been appreciated! Training for the college-age staff begins next week, quickly followed by Senior Teen Camp the week of May 31st. So it is now time to "rock 'n' roll" or lock 'n' load" or "hit the road running" or "git 'er done" or whatever your favorite expression is!

The men did a variety of jobs, from ceiling tile replacement, to floor tile replacement, to removal of vent covers (below) and then installing metal louvers....
...to building BADLY needed retaining walls.....
.....to building bridges...literally!
This bridge, however, has a special story to tell.....a story of God's love and protection.

Willie and Emmitt (one of the other SOWER volunteers) had been tasked with designing and building this bridge. They were well on their way, and had turned it up on its side to finish and attach the decking. They were safety-minded and had checked out the stability....everything was going well UNTIL......a BIG gust of wind caught that bridge on the back side and it toppled....headed straight for Willie. He managed....with the Lord's help....to scoot out just in time. A chair sitting there wasn't quite so blessed, and was mangled.....a vivid reminder of how the Lord protects us on a daily and even minute by minute basis! Thank you, Lord Jesus!!!

Check back soon for more photos of the work accomplished, and also pics of some of our "fun" times!!
