P90H and other musings

Day 2 -

We awoke to some beautiful weather this a.m. Went for a short run at 6 with some great people including Lori Connell. Running buddies.....I promise it was in the 60's! It was awesome but the altitude will kill you.

Most of our group went to build houses. Several went with David Koski - not sure who all....Lori, Margaret and Pam I know. Several of our kids including maybe all the boys went with my buddy from Oklahoma, Stan Berry, to build another house. Amy, Elyse, Kelli and Lizzie were with two great guys from Louisville, KY. Alex, Kristian, Liza, Margaret Alice, Erin, Savannah and Catherine A. went with me and two other super youth ministers, Bobby and Clint, to level sites for houses. The building crews had good days. Our leveling opportunity took us to two sites. One has a lot of work still to be done. We worked on it for about 2 and a 1/2 hours and then left to go to another site that we thought we could complete today. The ground at both sites was really muddy and hard to get the shovels into. Alex came up with a great new way. She got to the top of what we were digging out and with her feet and legs began pushing the dirt down. Kristian soon joined her and we got pretty silly. Clint said we were not doing P90X but P90H (P90 Honduras). Alex then began doing "ballet" feet to move the mud and we called it P90H Ballet Style! Guess you had to be there but it was pretty funny. Bobby and Clint were the only guys and they kept saying how impressed they were by how hard we were working. I told him we "don't bring no sissies to Honduras"!

Dinner was meatloaf, potato salad, green beans and carrots and a roll. Iam not a fan of the meatloaf but the rest was good. Some people loved it though so I guess it was just me.

Tomorrow we will build 3 more houses, pack some food and do a VBS, have another day of leveling (Mark wants it done so we can build a house there.....I'm thinking it is a long term project!) and perhaps have a small group go to the hospital.

The singing in devo tonight was beautiful as usual and we sang my favorite song...Do Not Fear. I remember hearing it for the first time last year on my first or second night and I just cried because I was afraid...Tonight I sang it in worship and praise to the God who has redeemed me and called me by name. Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.

time for much needed sleep so I can keep

running on faith,
