Under the Radar

"I'm in! I'm in, and that's what important for those to know who follow my blog," reads the first line of Mary Perkins blog on msnbc. Mary Perkins is a home owner with whom we partnered with to help build her house. We framed up the house and put on the roof. Mary hired out the siding and between her and her nieghbor they put the plumbing and electrical in. We came back and hung the drywall and started taping and mudding. Mary took over from there and for someone who didn't know how she was going to be able to get into her house last June she is now sleeping under the roof of her own home. I got to go see Mary's home today. We found out Mary was in her home because I ran by her house and saw the Christmas tree in the window. Today we also got a Christmas card from Ralph and Erin Henton, a elderly couple on our webpage. Their home is not completely finished but is close enough that they are able to live in it. The vital workings are there. Slowly but surely work is paying off in the very practical sense of people moving into their home. Thank the Lord for this and continue to pray that volunteers will continue to come and we can here many more of these stories. There are new pictures of Mary's home on our website under her photo album. If you would like to read more on Mary's blog and see her pictures her most recent post click here.
