Early

It is 3:30am and we are preparing to depart for Louisville. It has been an interesting and profitable week for me as relates to CM and the work here. I am anxious to see what God has planned for this work. At this time it looks as if we may be relocating the NO mission to the Milne Boys Home property in Gentilly.

New Orleans

We made it to NO last evening. It rained all evening and most of the night. It is cloudy and cool this morning. We will be returning on Thursday. Most of our time will be spent looking at what needs to be done to get the operation moved. We are losing the current facility and they are looking for permanent quarters as well as temporary housing.

I continue to be impressed with the people that work in the mission. Their dedication is amazing. Long hours, less or little pay and they seem to be energized by the experience. There are families as well as singles. I am thankful for the opportunity to get to know and understand them.

Thankful

We had a wonderful belated Thanskgiving yesterday. Everyone who planned to come arrived safely. We had a great meal and good visiting. (Close quarters made it easier.) The evening was capped off with a great football game (Arkansas/LSU). The younger kids were really good and seemed to enjoy each other company. This morning, Ann and I and Scott and Allison joined the Crocketts and the Gabeharts for breakfast. Scott and Allison are headed back to Memphis. We are getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for New Orleans. Ann is still not feeling up to par and she may not go. We’ll see how she feels later. I’m looking forward to spending some time with the Crossroads Missions New Orleans staff.
