TGIF

Not that it being Friday means a lot, except that more volunteer groups are coming in and some are leaving. Weekends seem to have more transitions, but work still goes on. Since Christus Victor has a Saturday evening service, some groups elect to worship Saturday night and work most of Sunday. Since most groups are only here for 4-8 days, they want to get as much done as they can.

We are actually getting into more rebuilding. There are still houses to be mucked out, but there are others that have been cleaned, bleached, and are ready for drywall to go in and several groups have been working on that. It is really good to see some houses getting to the point where people can live in them again.

On the other had, I had to deliver tools to a work team in Biloxi today and I drove down Howard Ave. In the downtown area, things don't look too bad; a couple more blocks and there are houses with damage, but they are recognizable as houses; then suddenly there are about 3 blocks where nothing is left, just piles of rubble, then you come to one house - the one our group was working on and trying to salvage. Another 4,000 plus homes were condemned in Biloxi earlier this week, on top of the thousands already destroyed or condemned.

Thanks for the comments - remember, if you don't want me to publish them, tell me; otherwise, I will usually publish them for the whole world to see.
