It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is....ooops, that's just a nursery rhyme, but it IS raining here, it is pouring, but the "old man" isn't snoring...yet, that is! Actually, he's in the back of the motorhome, aka our bedroom, reading!

We haven't had much of a chance to get out and explore the area around Horton Haven Christian Camp, as the whole area is under a flood watch....with good reason. The Duck River is overflowing its banks in places, and small streams and creeks now look like raging rivers! Hopefully, things will dry out a little later in the week, and we will be able to get out and at least see what the area looks like and share it with you in the days to come.

There are currently five SOWER couples here on the project, with another couple joining us next week. As is usually the case, there is a lot of work to do in just the short time we will be here. Several of the ladies will be painting, one will be helping in the kitchen, and I will be working on some of the landscaping....if things become less bog-like, anyway! The men have all sorts of work lined up for them, so I know they will be busy.

We really enjoyed the morning service at a local community church, and were warmly greeted by the pastor and members of the congregation (not always the case). The pastor spoke on seeking your satisfaction only in Christ....nothing else. Not your spouse, your kids, your grandkids, your activities....but only look to Christ for your satisfaction.....something we all need to be reminded of when we tend to get busy doing "things"!

After the service, the rest of our group headed out for lunch at the local state park restaurant, while Willie and I made the drive up to Nashville to pay a quick visit to my mom and dad. It was good to see them, and to know that they are being taken care of....guess it's my job to help see that they get the "little things" that will make them feel more comfortable and at home in their current situation. Dad did appear to be stronger, which made me feel better as the last time I left them, he seemed to be in a rapid state of decline.

Thanks so much for all of you who remember us in prayer....it is greatly appreciated, and we thank the Lord for you! Have an awesome week serving our even more awesome God!
