Aftermath

I am busting at the seams over the handful of teens that are willing to be on call for this week and the weeks that follow to help with the cleanup in the aftermath of the flooding.

Yesterday, we drove to Spicewood to help the Montgomery's clean up. I believe their home, of all our members, was hit the hardest with over 5 feet of water coming in and destroying the lower half of everything. We had a full day of tearing out drywall, fiberglass and shoveling detritus and fecal matter. Yep, water and mud were not the only Montgomery home invaders. Feces made a grand appearance. I am gonna have to go update my shots (Hep A and Tetanus) after hearing Connor tell me about his cut on the 1st day of cleanup. His foot and leg swelled up and turned purple due to a staph infection. I need some shots and soon!

Today, most of the same group moved furniture at the home of Clint and Tiffany Young. It was not as grueling as the first day, but we helped get their house back in order. They just have no carpet now.

I want to thank the teens and people like Jim Moore and Don Graves for all of their hard work and service after this disaster.

Please continue to pray for all who were affected by what meteorologists are calling a 'rain bomb.'
