The past several days have been very busy. Just in the past week and a half the project has been moving very fast. The building I am working in is 5 stories and I seem to make 15 to 20 trips a day from top to bottom and back. I am very envious of the folks living in the North with the beautiful changes in color here in the Catskill Mountains. Temperatures are definitely cooler than Texas.
We have breakfast every morning with a Bible discussion on various topics. This morning it was based on Judges chapters 7 and 8 about Judge Gideon. The discussion was how Gideon was to select 300 men to go against Midian, Amalek and all the Easterners who numbered 120,000. Gideon and each of his 300 men had 3 items each which included a Horn, Large Jar and a Torch. The account is in Judges 7:15-25. Gideon and his men were successful. In chapter 8 we see how Gideon was able to calm down a situation with the men of Ephraim who were offended that Gideon had not invited them to the battle. Verses 1-3 relate the way Gideon was able to calm the situation. A good listen for us regarding Humility.
It has been very refreshing to work with volunteers who are dedicated to completing a project to benefit others they do not personally know.
