SOMETIMES I JUST GO A LITTLE OVERBOARD

The past thirty days has gone by so fast and we are preparing for our monthly food outreach in Mexico. Well, we went to a local store that is always very helpful in loading up the several carts we fill to meet the needs of the people. One of the employees that works at Mi Tienda, texts Carmelo when oil, sugar and soap are on sale. This month all three were on sale so we loaded up the truck with more than we usually buy. 200 bottles of cooking oil, 200 kilos of sugar, 200 bags of soap, and we also bought some soccer balls and jewelery for the kids that are graduating from either 8th grade or high school. I know graduation season is upon us and it can get expensive buying gifts for twenty or thirty kids, but what the heck, they deserve something for their efforts. We have a few donors that help us every month with some funds towards the food expenses and we really appreciate it. The rest comes out of own personal support and I never hold back on an opportunity to buy as much food as needed. We have been busy building two bathrooms to accommodate the 300 people that come every month, but we are not going to have them done by this Saturday, so they'll just have to hold it one more time. We built a cement block septic tank and the two bathrooms will be on top of the tank, and each has enough room for showering as well as the flush toilets. I think I'll even tile the floors for easy cleaning. We took over a thousand pounds of beans and rice to church this morning for our monthly food pantry on the second Saturday every month. Our Sunday school class called the brick layers is coming over Saturday afternoon to bag up beans and rice. They save Paula and Me several hours of work by helping us out in this manner and we'll even grill some food when we get done, after all, we do attend a Baptist Church, so fellowship with no food is unacceptable. We are still trying to figure out when we are heading north, probably the last week of June, so if you want us to speak at your church or a group meeting, let us know because I don't plan anything in advance, it makes life easier that way, and also drives people crazy. I am still waiting on direction from God as to whether or not to load up all my generators and head up to Moore Oklahoma. I'm willing and available, and if we do, we'll head to Chicago from there. Pray for those affected by the tornadoes, pray for our nation as it seems to be getting shaken again by God, and it will only get worse as the Isaiah 9 vs 10 vow of defiance continues to manifest itself in America. The pride and arrogance of our leaders is unbelievable.
