I can sure appreciate hitting a wall. I well remember the dawning realization (no pun intended) that dawn had arrived, and the night's sleep was way too short. I can well remember the groaning muscles, the aching feet (resisting reinsertion into my work boots).

I can easily imagine the slow, almost robotic way in which you may be getting yourselves up, dressed, and through breakfast/chores.

But, as you say, when you get to the work site, see the progress made the day before, the potential for meaningful progress today...well, the motivation to do what must be done returns.

I can imagine arriving at the work site, suddenly re-filled with the energy and enthusiasm to role up sleeves and get to work.

I truly wish I were there helping with the work, and being in fellowship with my PCM friends, and my friends from North Carolina.

Tell everyone there that I think of you all every day, and pray for God's blessings on all of you.

Peace

Andy

P.S. Tell Larry that I really miss being there, but that I just couldn't get away from work this time around (we installed a major version of my application this past weekend, and I need to be here this week handling the post-installation fallout....you'll understand that, Brad).

P.S.S. Brad, you referred to putting up photos in the Gallery. I assume you meant to click on the "Photos" link in the "Church Life" side bar on the left side of the web page. But, when I go there, there is only one gallery of New Orleans photos, and it contains only the one picture that Laurie took of the mission group the day you left Omaha. Have you not had time to post pictures after all? Or, are they some where else that you can point me to?
