Work in Nashville

We are happy to be back home!

While we were gone, on May 1-3, there was record rainfall, resulting in severe flooding here in the Nashville area. We were saddened we were not home to help out with clean up and rebuild. But the first Sunday back to church, they announced that WFBC would be helping Harpeth Woods neighborhood with some of the rebuilding from the floods! After five months, people are still not back in their homes. And just this morning, there was an article in the paper: The body of one of the victims who got caught in the river when his vehicle got swept away, has just been recovered. So families are still recovering! In October, we will be working in our own back yard so to speak! Helping at the end of rebuilding is sometimes more rewarding, because you can see the final results!

This video was sent to us to show the extent of some of the flooding in Nashville:

And here is the "rest of the story": The Lighthouse Christian School (where the building seen in this video floating down the interstate was from) has just been rebuilt by Extreme Makeover. The work was done last week; however, we did not get out there to actually watch the work being done. The episode is to air sometime this fall..... so keep your eyes open for it!

In the meantime, we will be home for the holidays and plan to hit the road again in January!
