This morning we decided to go straight to Audrey's house in the hope of avoiding a steady rain and of being able to do some painting (primering). We were able to get two hours or so in before the rain came. Today it has rained steadily, more like rain in Renton than the 2-inches-in-forty-minutes we saw the other day.
We are thankful that we are able to work and to visit and to eat with Audrey and with her grandson. Yesterday she told us about getting on a bus with her family members after hurricane Katrina and being taken to the Astrodome, of the kind care they received there, and of some of the painful pieces of that time- seeing parentsand children being separated--some of the events that we saw on CNN almost five years ago.
Tuesday evening's Bible study was led by Tammie, with music from St John members Lionel and Linda and Chantelle. We had a beautiful dinner prepared by Deborah, which followed the beautiful lunch which Audrey made for us. Tonight we will be back in church for "Hour of Power"- an opportunity for people (including us, if we are moved to do so) to name things for which we are thankful.
I am thankful for the welcome we are having, for the opportunity to work side by side with Audrey, for those whom we have met at St John, for everyone in our group, for the opportunity to see Bill J. in Biloxi tomorrow, and for bringing us this far
and walking with us through this week. Glen A
