I have been extremely busy here catching up on 2 new projects I've "inherited" as our Corps guys rotate back home and others planning to arrive here as replacements have been diverted to help in Katrina's aftermath. One is a waste water treatment plant about 50% complete and the other is 90% complete medical warehouse for hospital supplies.
But the devastation in the South...my own experience in 1987 tells me there's only 1 way to lighten the burden that many of us are going thru today and that's with HIM. So in that respect, I can only empathize with what those folks are going thru if they feel their by themselves - it doesn't have to be that way... I can only pray that He helps us ALL pull together this "yoke" of ours. I know no other way to deal with overwhelming catastrophe than thru prayer and Faith that He will provide for our needs and give us the strength necessary to get thru it. I wish there was more I could do for my friends and family from dondabayu... just know that there's a lot a very good folks on the ground there and being diverted from this effort over here to tackle the rescue, clearing and restoration that's underway there - not to mention all the volunteers and family and friends already there ...it's really an awesome thing to be part of the American "can do" experience in the year of our Lord, 2005...It's folks like you all prayin and doin whatever you can that makes this trip called, "This is Your Life", so very worthwhile. You can't imagine how you all back there raise the spirits of everyone here and, I hope and pray, your spirits get raised a bit by virtue of what we're doing here to help these folks just "Get a Life" while under war time conditions! It truly is overwhelming to be an American in this day and age...we all have much to be proud of and thankful for. In my "short" 64 years I have come to appreciate how much of the "impossible" we can do with Him beside us...as I know in the not too distant future "the South will Rise Again" and it WILL be a better version than one that Katrina obliterated...
I've put a few pics on the site to give yall an idea of what this Central Postal Distribution Facility is beginning to look like. After the holidays and into the Spring we hope to have all mail coming into the country come through this facility, sorted and then truck/plane loaded for distribution throughout the rest of it...
On a "lighter" note ...I've also thrown in a pic of a predator which flies missions from our FOB here and keeps the nights a bit more "quiet" lately (no incoming mortar rounds have found their way onto the base the past few weeks!!!LOL) Yall keep up the good work supportin those folks dondabayu and we'll keep on doin His will here.
