This week has seen changes, progress, a few little problems, new folks interested and volunteers. The biggest volunteer helper was the big forklift that helped lift that little bitty Hesston tractor (that is a BIG tractor, actually) out of the mud. Dave was covering a drainpipe with the Hesston, and somehow--who knows how--got that tractor up to its eyeballs in mud. After valiant efforts by our construction workers and Dave, all to no avail, a company working nearby helped get it out ever so quickly. Sort of like a tiger pulling a kitten out of a well, according to an observer. I got there too late to get a picture of the stuck tractor. But you get the picture. Thanks, folks. This would have taken a long time with a shovel.
My Friend's House exists to follow the teachings of Jesus about feeding the hungry, clothing those who need it, and the other things He listed in Matthew. We know that we cannot be all things to all people, so we try to do some of the little things for as many as we can. At this point in time, we operate a small homeless shelter. It won't hold a lot of folks, but hopefully will help a few. Feel free to contribute to the Blog, to ask questions or make comments. Thanks for joining us.
