And then my dog left me … yep just like a country song, which is why I don’t listen to that stuff. I am so grateful to my volunteers because I know they have to be exhausted. A couple of the guys commute so the get up long before the sun and work hard all day then show up to help. I don’t know how to thank them enough.

Mostly it hasn’t been the suck it has just been hectic. Most of Wednesday was horrible but God used it to setup this amazing service. More than anything I could have done so it was worth it.

Yep, God is always good and I appreciate the prayers.

Thanks, and yeah it seems like every plumbing disaster I’ve ever faced it at the worst possible time in the worst possible circumstance. I had a pipe freeze and burst when we were without power and temps were dropping to the single digits once. I had to crawl through 6″ of water in the crawl space to repair it. Fortunately I have a wet suit and wore that so I didn’t get hypothermia. The devil must love pipes and crap.

I’m glad to see you didn’t crack under pressure because it’s so tempting to sometimes, I know for me, throw up my hands, hide and want to get away from people.

Keep up the good work and stand firm. I’ll be honest, I’m lazy, if I’m tired after work, I won’t go to Wednesday nights to help out with the youth.

Glad to hear a little of your world, sorry it’s been sucking. Sometimes a hundred mice nibbling away is worse than being trampled by an elephant.

Okay so the old adage “when it rains, it pours” is so true. And it seems like a spirit can only take so much. I love the words in one of Natalie Grant’s songs:
~~~~~~~~~~
http://p.rhap.com/Tra.18354891

You would think only so much can go wrong – Calamity only strikes once
And you assume that this one has suffered her share – Life will be kinder from here

Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years – Sometimes the sky rains night after night – When will it clear?
But our hope endures the worst of conditions – It’s more than our optimism – Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged.
~~~~~~~~~~
Anyhoo, glad you caught a break in spirit in a good way. I just prayed for your youth ministry.

I’m glad to hear the youth service went well and that God pulled you through the avalanche. I’ll keep praying for you, Nick

BTW…I think plumbing emergencies are works of Satan, I’m just sayin’.
